@bascule But I think your Bitcoin software was still supposed to handle exchanges. Central exchanges really don't have much purpose... -

@bodskibod@bascule Currency exchanges have tried to affix a floating "fiat money" price on a commodity currency. It's economic lunacy. -

@bodskibod@bascule No. I was referring to Bitcoin "exchanges", not currency exchanges. Transfer of Bitcoin to other people. -

@bodskibod@bascule Yes, but my point was that Bitcoin was not intended to work that way. Individuals trade Bitcoin w/ each other, no fee. -
