Digital Currency Without Blockchain

What if Bitcoin became popular despite the fact that it was based on blockchain rather than because of it? What if blockchain is a technical fail that's going to join things like NoSQL in the ash heap? Haypenny is digital currency done the right way. Because of that, it's fast, secure, private, and it's far easier to use for average consumers.

  it can't even support multiple browsers as a application, let alone becoming something. I've never seen something this limited.

"We're sorry, this browser or version is incompatible with the Haypenny application." Firefox is not supported?

  3% FF market share + startup with limited resources = use Chrome, I guess...

    That %3 or whatever number it's, can be part of higher % of your userbase and developers. But at least founders of this thing can't develop. That's certain for now. DOA.

Sooo... completely centralized? That's a hard no. I briefly scanned through the whitepaper at: https://haypenny.net/whitepaper.html https://haypenny.net/whitepaper.html but couldn't find how it solved the Byzantine General's problem, transacting without a need for trust.

  Nobody uses Bitcoin that way--everybody uses the very centralized and very identified brokerages like Binance to actually buy and sell it. The libertarian fantasies of "currency without governments" never materialized nor will it. Bitcoin will always be just another speculation instrument because it's too slow and too expensive to used for any other purpose. The reason is this useless religious garbage called "blockchain".
