I’m gonna be honest I didn’t understand jackshit from your reply. So I won’t comment on it, maybe my US-english-rant-comprehension skills are not the best. I’m not saying it’s wrong, I’m just saying that I did not comprehend it due to language barriers.

However, ditching the Dollar will not make “rich” people broke. It will make the average person that doesn’t ditch the dollar in time, broke.

If people ditch the dollar (or any fiat for that measure), you will have 3 types of people:

1. The early adopters of this new money (hopefully Monero), which will end up with a lot of purchasing power
2. The people that don’t believe in it, that kept most of their money in their bank account which is now worthless - This is the average person. It’s your mom who spent 40 years working to save 100k to retire, which just became worthless now so she can’t retire.
3. The rich dude who is worth millions or billions, but has probably less money in his bank account than your mom, since most of his wealth comes from real estate, company stocks and other types of investments, and bussinesses that he owns, that generate either dollars, or whatever people decide to pay in at the moment. If people migrate to Monero, it will be Monero. So this guy will not be thaaat affected by the change.

I agree with you that we should “ditch the dollar” or the Euro in my case, but it will not be beneficial for most people in the short term as you might think. At least that’s my opinion.

It will be beneficial for them if they manage to swap their assets into Monero in time, but not otherwise.

Quickly googled about rsyncing big files. It is aparently slow, as it must checksum the whole file.

My guess would be that: If both blockchains are NOT pruned, then it should be fine but super slow If they are pruned, then since the pruning involves randomness, I guess it would be useless to rsync them. Because the history will be different.

My bet is that a normal copy would be better.
