escrow services
For example, how would escrow help with wage garnishment, suing a company and winning, or generally forced transactions by court order?
You haven't understood the idea and instead hang on to narrow focus around cash, which had nothing to do with the argument, because most people have digital money that goes through institutions. Using fringe cases to justify the common is the wrong way around.
Also, I don’t agree that my writing is unclear. I find your dismissal unjustified by your arguments. I simply bring up a counter-example to your argument with cash. You saying it is fringe and beside the point is not an argument. To then criticize my writing is to miss the point I was making. I don’t find that you are debating in good faith when you make personal attacks on quality of writing when your own argument hasn’t been made or won.
Cash is a bad analogy because it is the only widely used currency, it defines what we mean by currency, and it has always been a part of modern history in some form. Cryptocurrency has fundamental differences from a digital, public, immutable ledger.
So if you'd like to get back to the original questions, I'd be happy to continue this discussion.
However if your only defense for cryptocurrency is "cash does it too so we don't have to talk about it" then we can stop here.
If you don’t think analogies to cash are a good answer to your questions, please restate your question. I’m not using cash as an analogy, I’m using it as a counter-example in the monetary marketplace that proves that different monetary instruments have different properties, some of which are inherent to the medium of exchange. I want to know why you think cash isn’t a good answer to your questions. I also am curious why you think cryptocurrency is a bad answer to your questions, if indeed you do.
I asked a question about how an immutable ledger, with public consensus, deals with the reversal transactions as ordered by the rule of law. Do you have an answer for that?
