- cloudjacker 10y agolol we've come full circle, most of my hackernews karma is from posting that article
- jrockway 10y agoYeah, I think I originally saw it when you posted it. I read it from time to time and it makes me laugh, especially the bit about the sidewalks and intentionally shooting the mailbox. My libertarian-leaning friends were not so amused.
- happyslobro 10y agoAs a cryptocurrency fan who chose to invest nothing more than some time learning an interesting new system, I think that things are going just fine. We ran an experiment, and we are getting really interesting results; the kind of results that make good anecdotes in textbooks, decades later. It's just too bad that the experiment was orders of magnitude larger than it needed to be. But if most of that was speculation and greed, then little value has been lost.
