Yes, like turning a digital payment system into a speculative asset and making it basically impossible to actually buy anything with it.
But it seems you are totally missing the point of Taler, as it doesn’t even aim to be anything like so called crypto-“currencies”. It’s a digital payment system like Paypal, but decentralized.
No, I’m not missing that point, I understand the design goals of Taler. You seem to have misinterpreted my comment. I am pointing out that the inability to store Taler currency in a cold wallet is counter to existing user education from similar systems (digital currencies) and therefore will lead to loss of funds of users who don’t understand how Taler works.
What other digital payment system than crypto allows cold wallets?
Except for some very niche crypto-currency users no one stores “money” like that. You have a bank account where you store money.
