Developing them is my goal. I think you do not show the neccesary respect of the market. Your rant reminds me of renowed economists who still argue final control = Bitcoin can not have value, you do the same proclaiming that temporary = control of Bitcoin can not have value. I say, that temporary control does not have value until means dealing = with it are offered, and that is I work on. Thereafter might obtain = value if final control is deemed too expensive or not attainable, we = shall see.
