Yep, Nano is useless as a currency.


Do you guys think cutting pizza into more slices feeds more people too?

For the record, Nano is the most useful and currency-like of the many crypto coins that I have seen.


What feeds people is fair access to food. If all Nano supply is controlled by people who happened to chance on the right corners of the internet in 2017, then this is not about feeding people but about rent seeking.


Try looking up how Nano was distributed in it's early days. It's a very different story - miles more egalitarian - than BTC or ETH, or the vast, vast majority of other assets.


Airdrop by captchas is miles less egalitarian than making people mine for coins in a fair competition over decades. Worse yet, there's no way to verify that a majority of coins didn't end up in the hands of just a few people


If one person has all the pizza and you cut it into more pieces and give it to other people wouldn't it feed more people?


Nano had one of the fairest and most well thought-through early distribution systems of any coin.


It's incredibly funny and sad how people believe that solving a captcha on a centrally controlled website is a fair way to distribute coins.

They probably took most of it themselves and nobody will ever know.
