Take crypto out of it and it's still dumb as poo poo! "Amazon will pay you to act as a warehouse." First off, why? Amazon can acquire warehouses on a whim. Second, the liability is immense. Who is responsible if something happens to the goods? Who is responsible if someone robs you to get to the goods? Third, they could not pay me enough actual money to make this worthwhile for either of us, let alone in

I'm not an expert but I think a fundamental problem with point number one, which was as far as I got because I was immediately disgusted, is that distributing the warehouse contents across a suburban footprint isn't going to be faster or cheaper or more accurate or anything good at all!

If anything it's going to be massively less efficient and lead to even more emissions from orders. Which is saying something.

Fun fact, during the busiest seasons UPS does occasionally have ad-hoc drop points where they can store packages. This lets the drivers of already-full trucks continue making more deliveries once the have emptied their trucks. Also, these trailers can be filled by other (usually lower-rank/lower-pay) drivers with packages that might arrive at the hub normal morning truck loading times. They just use locking trailers and pay a small amount to whatever property owner has the trailer on their land/commercial property/etc. So yeah, this is just another case of crypto enthusiasts trying to re-invent a worse version of something so they can jam crypto into it.

I used an app to pay $10 to put my suitcase in a bodega's storage room for a few hours. How would cryptocurrency improve that? Instead of saying, "Hi, this is my name, here's my booking" I guess I'd have some kind of token on the blockchain. So that if there's an internet disruption it becomes impossible to verify, and there's another middleman to leech money out of the transaction.

Yeah the cool thing about dollars is that you get paid in them and then you can buy whatever you want with them. In the world bitcoiners want, apparently every single human activity will involve a different currency. I can't imagine how much of a pain in the rear end it would be to keep converting beween them.

PurpleXVI posted:I don't quite understand, what "risk" are you referring to here that didn't exist with the pre-Euro European currencies? The risk that your weird business specific altcoin will evaporate tomorrow or that the exchange just up and vanishes. When this happens with a real nations currency it’s a huge loving deal. Usually because of a war or something. So the real money version of this is you’re traveling in Europe in 1944 and getting paid in fifteen types of Nazi military occupation scrip and the only place to exchange them are shady mafia guys under railroad bridges who might just walk away with your deposit or rob you at gunpoint. And then something “totally unforeseen” happens like Hitler losing the war and oops no one is interested in your Vichy French Funbux.

A pickpocket on the Naples Metro* could only take the Lira in your wallet/purse, and not the contents of your brokerage account or retirement funds. Also, currency collapses only occurred infrequently, my joke about the drachma notwithstanding.
