This is actually really interesting, shame that the whitepaper is just quite bland and nondescript. I think there is potential here. > https://playdarkwinds.com/whitepaper/darkwinds.pdf

This is basically what I kinda like about STATA. It's a Data Science tool for researchers. The thing is that all its menu commands are stored in history, in ".do" file that you can send to anyone to reproduce your steps. You

But what does that matter in a world where people spend numbers on a bank account, never questioning if the money is actually there or not? I fear you are putting too much emphasis on physical things, as if the quality of being "able t

But are you really hedging against the collpase of _everything_ so that we are at a completely primative level. Or do we mean collapse as in another collapse of the world economy? If you mean the former, then yes, gold is a good hedge. But

Bitcoin Cash is not Bitcoin. It did not create new Bitcoin. It created another currency called Bitcoin Cash. Not sure what is so hard to understand from this. Let me break it up to you again: 1. Bitcoin (In it's current form) has a lim

Not a single link on the first page relates to actual business getting destroyed. Also, amount of google searches does not mean much. You should know better.

Wow. The short-sightedness in this comment is astounding. Check out on some of those "advantages" that trusting those thirdparties can mean for you: https://www.google.fi/search?q=paypal+destroyed+my+business&.

That doesn't mean they will be as fast or cheap (or decentralized) when the network size is as big.

You're only talking about proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, and bitcoin especially. You should research more on currencies that use a less power intensive PoW algorithm, or a different algorithm altogether that might not use anything mor

What are you talking about? That's the complete opposite of what happens. Nordic startups that focus too much on their local market die. The whole point of startups is to SCALE. This cannot be when the country you live in has less popu

Why on earth would the value of XRP rise in the long term? The price of one XRP has no impact on its use cases. What is the logic of holding XRP now instead of a currency that is actually constantly burned by its users?

Here's a pretty cool talk on the subject as well by Andre Staltz. It's nothing groundbreaking, but just simple facts he puts on the table to show what the current situation is. Highly recommend. https://youtu.be/qZ
