What are those guys doing at the poles? Pretty sure that William Lounsbery wasn't born in Antarctica. There's also a Finnish politician born near the North Pole.

Ethereum is a casino, DeFi provides financing for players, and all other crypto tokens are games in the casino. It's all dependant on degenerate players gambling on these ponzi tokens. There's no other purpose for Ethereum or DeFi

It's actually really great. In many cases P2P failed, because of lack of ways to transfer value, compared to centralized services. P2P + LN might be the way for P2P renaissance. It's also a better and more correct way to use bitco

Why would anyone show up if they knew that no one will show up?

Yes. It's not only virtue signaling, but a deceitful way to control policies and investments. It's not for the environment, but for power and profit.

Everything that is non-verifiable, requires trust. So, if you can verify that your hardware works correctly, you don't need to trust the manufacturer or supply chains. There are ways to verify that hardware works correctly. 3: You meas

This is the world outside of Bitcoin, and is irrelevant to this question. For these transactions, you have faith in your legal system, government, democracy etc. If you're scammed by an exchange, you sue them and you should get your mo

I'd recommend HelpScout instead of Intercom for standard customer support. It's affordable (pricing per agent) and very high quality software without any bullshit. Intercom might have additional features, but it's also very e

I won't touch Unity or their stock with a ten-foot pole now. If they did this to please investors, then they're wrong.

They're not reacting to CPI inflation, but rising interest rates. Markets expect monetary policy to keep tightening in response to CPI inflation. When Fed is expected to ease monetary policy, these assets will start going up. It depend

There is actually a solution for that, called Lightning Rod.[0] It should allow asynchronous payment flows when running LN nodes on a mobile device, which are offline most of the time. I'm not sure if it has been implemented yet (proba

Well, the idea is that most people should be able to run a full node. Even now, you need a quite large SSD to sync and store the blockchain. Ideally, you'd want to run full node on a mobile device. Block size can be increased in the fu

It's all there in the link. I'm not sure that web5 as proposed by TBD is the actual best way to do things, but I think it's a step in the right direction.

This is what bitcoiners have been saying for years. Most apps don't need to be decentralized, and those that need, don't need a blockchain. There's only a very narrow scope for apps which actually benefit from a blockchain. T

by Geee 4y ago
That's not what happened. Bitcoiners defended decentralization over throughput. The argument back then was that we should first experiment with scaling with other solutions and try to innovate as far as possible, and after that see how

Well, you are right in that people usually do vote for more government spending. The problem exists in all kinds of governments. Anyway, my point was that bitcoin can limit government spending and protect individuals against inflation due t

In addition, bitcoin limits government power. Most autocracies fund their operations with inflation. Even in liberal democracies, deficit spending funded with inflation is not really what people have voted for. People are fine with taxes to

I'm the same way. I just assume that they're biological GPT-3:s. They run a complex word generation algorithm in their heads, but they're not actually intelligent. Trying to find logic in their sentences just melts your brain

Those things have a single truth, on which social consensus converges on. PoS doesn't have this single truth, and thus it's incapable of converging on it. "call a friend"-consensus fails when there are disputes.

Choosing between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash is a completely different matter. You choose whichever you like, and you can verify yourself that the software follows those rules. There's no chance that users wouldn't converge into thei

That's not really how it works either. Everyone makes decisions individually based on their understanding of the best rules and also tries to keep the network from splitting. There aren't any competing chains, because issues are d

There's multiple levels of consensus. Chain consensus is what determines the correct chain, given the current rules. Miners work under these rules. Consensus on which rules to use happens on a different level. I'd say that it&#x27

Debt is backed by something. Currency is debt to its issuer, and it used to be backed by gold. Fiat currency is debt, but it's not backed by anything. Gold and bitcoin aren't debt, they're assets. You could issue bank notes b
