    I don’t think it is ihe primary purpose of cryptocoin either. It’s just that crime found a great valuable tool in it. Just like nuclear fission is not just for atomic bombs. Or the internet for porn. The most known use case is not always the only or intended one.

    Not defending the money-grabbing, resource-hungry spectacle that it has become, but the original intent was probably a bit nobler than the current results.

    ETA: ah, I see what you mean. Purpose as in current main use, not “intended purpose”. I think I picked up the wrong meaning. My mistake.

    Also, nothing wrong with porn, but everyone knows the internet should be about cat pictures.

    The opening quotation marks should be on the bottom, but it’s been a while since I wrote them that way. Luckily, the wiki page (in Dutch) shows how they can be entered in three common OSes (see: unicode), so I’ll try my best to revive the correct usage again.

    Also, I don’t think it is considered incorrect to use top quotation marks on a computer any longer.

    That information won’t be lost, though. It just would be expressed differently. They are no longer in a +8 hour time zone, which given your own location in a +1 hour zone would lead to a most likely open time of 8 - 8 + 1 = 1 til 17 - 8 + 1 = 10 your time, but in an area where opening hours are most likely between 0100 and 1000.

    There is still a lookup, but no longer a lookup of time difference of the area, but a lookup of usual business hours in the area.

    That depends on what you want to do, and how you define “can it”. If your exchange has an API, you could build something that calls that API and shows the results in emacs. It is, in its core, a programmable TUI, after all.

    Edit: TUI as in Textual User Interface.
