You don't have to destroy the environment to maintain a database. There's other ways to achieve censorship resistance than waste. Blockchains are are all social consensus anyway.

Elon is still promoting Dogecoin which is also proof of work. Lots of people will be harmed when it crashes. Nearly all cryptocurrencies crash 85% every once in a while.

The primary feature of cryptocurrency is that it is not controlled by the government. If they were doing their job well, cryptocurrency may never have been invented. A government digital currency is like a plastic painted fruit at a furnitu

Proof of stake solves this. Proof of work is basically proof of stake in foreign mining hardware and electricity bills. You've heard of small POW chains getting attacked (vechain, ethereum classic) but have you heard of any POS chains

People overpaying for serial numbers loosely related to jpgs is terrible in my opinion. There's truly intelligent and useful things going on in cryptocurrency. Don't like the bubbles? There's billions in stable coins tied to

For glory. I want to do the best I can do. I also want to be loved and respected with a lasting legacy. I lived in a hotel travelling the world for 5 years and it's just not as fulfilling as building things.

All the currencies have already been digital for decades. The most interesting part of this was the expiration timer to get people to actually spend. Otherwise, what really does this do that alipay or wepay doesn't?

Hello again, we met in Amsterdam many years ago at a Bitcoin conference afterparty and I like your comment. I do wonder if the research could be sharded. If most of the corruption is in the upper layers, perhaps the raw research apart from

People switching their value storage from a crappier system to a superior system. It's all just an analog for the stuff that actually matters, which is goods and services.

I would absolutely love to advertise there. Facebook, google, youtube, telegram all have cryptocurrency advertising banned... Which is rather disgusting, seeing as it's the highest appreciating asset class in the history of mankind.

Just think how secure Bitcoin will be when we have to Dyson sphere the sun to do the "proof of waste". Uh I meant work. But if the work has value you could sell it for on the side, then it reduces costs of attack, so waste as a fe

Gamblers who have never actually bought real art, magically, start appreciating .jpgs when they can gamble on them. NFT's are where some make a .jpg, but try and figure out some way to sell it for 100's of thousands of dollars. So

Bitcoin was invented to remove middlemen. Not your keys, not your coins. Things like this are the exact opposite of why Bitcoin was invented in the first place.
