They're getting closer. If they achieve rapid reusability with Super Heavy Starship then it'll be close to 99% reduction in costs.

There's no such thing as viable currency. For me it works fine. I'd rather choose higher volatility with long term value appreciation, rather than lower volatility with long term value depreciation.

I'm not sure what's your point. USD is inflationary, that's why it's a bad currency / bad savings vehicle.

21 million units of bitcoin have already been issued by the Bitcoin network itself. All the issued bitcoin are released as block rewards equally to anyone who wants to mine them according to the network rules, and all the miners must use en

A currency that isn't a good savings vehicle is a bad currency. In a free market, people will choose to use a currency that doesn't lose its value.

The amount of Tether just tracks the amount of money deposits, which are tokenized into USDT. Tether is just a small fraction of all the money entering exchanges.

Yes. At that point, the volatility of bitcoin will be the average volatility of everything.

It's not useless even if it is volatile. On longer time scales, it is not volatile but consistently appreciating in value, which makes it a great savings vehicle. It's inherently a better currency, and that's why more and mor

Volatility is not an inherent property of a currency or an asset, but the result of market actions. Volatility will decrease in the long term, when more uncorrelated markets are traded in bitcoin. Eventually, when everything is traded and p

The idea of Bitcoin is that no one has the power to issue currency. Issuance is limited to 21 million units and all of them are created with energy. No one should have the power to issue currency.

BIP39 seed words are used to deterministically generate all of your private keys in your wallet. You don't have to store the private keys themselves. Remember that each address has its own private/public key pair, and addresses sh

Well, that's a good argument but it's wrong. Larger blocks makes it harder to compete, because it's harder to run a full node. If everyone has to trust the datacenters that run full nodes, then it's game over for everyon

That's not the issue. Block size has to be limited to protect decentralization. Decentralization is the only thing that has value in blockchains, otherwise you're better off using centralized databases.

No. The important distinction is that in a Ponzi scheme, the central administrator lies about the underlying product. Like all scams, it's based on maximizing information asymmetry between the seller and buyers. Cryptocurrencies are op

What would be even more amazing, is that browsers would compress / convert formats on upload. Especially video. It's stupid to upload gigabytes of raw video to a server which then compresses it to a few megabytes.
