I would rather have the Fed acting as my central bank than a private corporation

I don't need a bank. I choose to use a bank for the services they offer. Switching currencies doesn't change this, I will still use a bank and a financial system. So bitcoin only helps me if customers are paying me in bitcoin. I d

Bitcoin is a fiat currency

Bitcoin was about greed from the beginning, the myth that it was somehow altruistic is just that. It was obvious from the start how bitcoin was setup, the design encodes the intentions of the designer. You can say it's supposed to be

If my bank switches to bitcoin only, I still need a bank. So the energy consumption of the new bank is bank + the banks share of bitcoin overhead, energy or other wise. Subtract the overhead of supporting the currency called dollars. Bitcoi

No you are wrong. The coop and Uber have different structures. The coop is built from the bottom up and does not need to scale. So a per-msa analysis of costs is an appropriate starting point.

This is my analysis too. The app should be open sourced and then subsequent new market entrants enjoy the benefit, lowering costs. I don't think running servers to handle a few transactions per minute per zip code is too expensive

That's right we need to act!

Organized dry run by paramilitaries, also accurately describes it.

This is a superficial take and extraneous to the article.

I love shorts the markets would be terrible without them

Global macro did well last year i think but long short equity not, it's like an existential crisis.

To allow higher leverage!

If your purchasing power is calculated in bitcoin but your purchasing in some other currency, there is no real problem there. Bitcoin network can get used one per day for settlement, and the rest of the time use visa digital coins! Which th

Wealthy people who use leverage actually are very likely to enjoy shrinking assets, there is no magic bullet to risk management

How do you obtain 1 btc if you are poor? Doing work for well-off holders? Sounds identical to regular life and inequality is baked in

This is a risk less trade

If it keeps going up why does decentralization matter? Poor people are decentralized, I don't know any rich people who are decentralized

Trustless is bad. Humans need trust without it we get genocide and other bad things. Trustless is another way of expressing a desire for a fantasy world where people are not interdependent and each hacker can live in their own bubble with n

It solves so far the problem of how do I own an asset that only goes up? That is pretty much it

Please get them to add MMC sync, it would make recording much better

I am going to stake eth 2.0 in hopes that it and other POS coins can provide an alternative to POW (despite any security or other technical shortcomings). And then if prices of POS coins can be made stable, perhaps by the use of synthetic b

Start or find a company that takes a "value" approach to investing in humans. There are a lot of undervalued people out there, in North America many if not most people's potential is being wasted. SV / FAANG is a land of

This is a huge result in signal processing but with broad applications

I understood bitcoin from the beginning when I was first exposed to it, and I chose not to mine it or buy any. I hate it. I am more forgiving of POS coins, but I am still waiting for a time when they are used to pay for things, not as a MLM
