perhaps this is the worst possible abstraction to be protected by a security framework.

Certainly the most important value proposition from the companies behind the established cryptocurrencies is the decentralized network for value transfers. No more "brokerage" firms. Getting rid of these feels like an emotional fulfillment; and today this beats pragmatism. Thanks for writing.

Hi, thanks for the reply, makes sense what you said. I am not looking for strong stances or arguing; I just want to expand my understanding. I get from you that institutions pour real money into it and they rely on bitcoin's scarcity to overcome inflation. Makes sense. However, I want to understand why using banks or FinTech companies for money transfer is so bad? Nowadays there are low fees, way lower than what Bitcoin offers today. And that is just one aspect. It's just an opinion but I feel that money transfer problems caused by banks are exaggerated, especially in developed countries. Can you explain why I might be wrong about it? I also do not own Bitcoin, my employer is not a bank and I do not have any involvement or desire to promote the banking or payments industry.

Do you think it's true that bitcoin is the solution to a couple of problems that don't exist?

Fully agree. Also, if you need to debug your code that runs in kubernetes pods, VS Code also smokes other IDEs. In my case, not only the API calls are forwarded from the cluster to my debugging session but I can also consume during debugging some Kubernetes services by using their DNS names. Just awesome.
