Aihe: Re: [unSYSTEM] Bitcoin isn't worth it for consumers. And that will stop adoption.
Yeah, and there is no real distinction between a "consumer" and a
"producer" and an "investor" anymore. While you are working you are
producing. If you have savings and investments, even in the form of bank
account or mutual funds, you are an investor. What's the deal with
"consumers"?
