Well, the issue is that there can't be real democracy when money is cheap. Whoever promises the most stimmies will always win. There are no hard limits on bad decisions. Real politics and real democracy starts when there is no cheap mo

The actual reason why this happens is that when someone controls the money supply, they will eventually start creating more money for their own benefit, or the benefit of those who vote for them. It's almost as whole societies get high

Maybe it's a good time to remind that Bitcoin is not Ethereum. Bitcoin has always focused on maximizing decentralization. This debate goes back to blocksize war in 2015-2017, when small blocks and decentralization won over big blocks a

GNU taler is based on Chaum's e-cash. There are certain issues with chaumian mints. Obvious one is that the mint owner can run with the money, and thus the system requires trust. Compared to a centralized payment system such as Paypal,

I believe in decentralized web, but I don't believe in tokenization of apps. I think the tokenization aspect is throwing off everyone, and allowing greed to overpower innovation. It's possible to build decentralized apps and use B

Isn't it interesting that people who own Ethereum/crypto, are suddenly very ethical and concerned about Bitcoin's energy use? Everything else can consume energy ethically in this world, but using energy to run a decentralized

Bitcoin and PoW is our only shot at decentralized monetary system. PoS has many problems, and it can't provide the same level of confidence in the system as PoW. There's no way to reach objective consensus in a PoS system.[0] From

It's way more expensive to store and transport gold than bitcoin, although it depends on the amount. You also have to price in the protection provided by local authorities that protect your property, in addition to your own security me

Fighting is really difficult (on level 5). I'm wondering if it's supposed to be this way or not. I don't remember how it was in the original.

Monetary inflation is a major component of price inflation. See this recent article by Lyn Alden, which explains it pretty well: https://www.lynalden.com/price-signals/ No, they are different pools of supply. Each curr

> The alternative perspective here is that obviously money supply and inflation is correlated, but for exactly the opposite reason: when prices go up without real values changing, people are still going to need the same real stuff, so ba

Monetary inflation is the amount of new money that is created, i.e. how much the supply expands. In Bitcoin, inflation schedule is predefined and there's an absolute limit, and these rules can't be changed. This means that if Bitc

It's not beneficial to use money from another country. Managing your own monetary policy and being able to spend without limits is important tool for governments. Currencies are one tool which countries use to compete with each other.

It's obvious that there is global demand for money which is separated from state control. You can see this demand in Bitcoin price. Bitcoin is the opposite of a Ponzi scheme, because there's no central operator which can arbitrari

It's more likely that the cause was that governments failed to respect the gold standard. There was way more money in the system than there was gold backing it. Like any centralized monetary system, it couldn't resist the temptati

The purpose of inflation is to increase employment - which happens by cutting wages. If wages followed inflation, then it wouldn't have any effect on employment. Adjusting employment with inflation is a central bank policy. There'

You value Bitcoin like every other currency, like US dollar or Turkish lira. However, you have to go back in history to learn what happens when multiple currencies compete in a free market (gold, silver, copper, etc.). People typically want

This doesn't solve the problem that users have to host files themselves, which makes the network unsuitable for many use cases. With torrents and IPFS, only popular content will be hosted by voluntarists with varying levels of service.
