If you want to hang out or work with your friends, nobody is stopping you. Maybe you should make mutual friends that don't need management to force them to be with you

At the least, it is a genuine public health measure AND a crackdown on dissent. Therefore it is not so simple to argue that it is a reprehensible move, if you are in favour of restrictions to prevent covid: you are saying that facilitating

1) In Belarus, "The border committee blamed the measures on the coronavirus pandemic." 2) The covid situation is worse in Belarus than Australia 3) The covid situation in Australia is apparently enough to justify a multi-year ban

Belarus has a worse covid situation than Australia. So Lukashenko just has to say he did it because of corona, then how is it not fair and justified, since that is apparently an acceptable reason? If your country has less stable politics th

It's the same severe violation of human rights, regardless of differences or claimed intentions. Especially since it has been this way for over a year in Australia

False. The third party can't take the money, it can only be given to the receiver or back to the sender. That's how multisig works.

Australians have been banned from leaving for over a year, and there are entry restrictions (low rate of people allowed to enter) that make it infeasible for citizens to return unless you pay a lot of money

Does a 1 cent coin have the same value as a $100 note?

I observe the exact opposite: people do not like accepting the risk of payments that can be reversed because the buyer does a chargeback scam, or used a hacked paypal account. Multisig escrow is also better in every way if people want to in

That's like saying pizza isnt scarce because you can cut one into 1000 tiny slices. Or gold isnt scarce because you can cut 1 bar into 1 tiny million pieces. Pretty hilarious misconception

I encourage you to learn about rates of skin cancer in Australia. Most people get it. People of european genetics didnt evolve to live there In other countries you may have a point, I am not sure

The rich are extremely mobile, already have wealth and assets that will keep appreciating. The poor and middle class would need to disproportionately gain wealth if they were to rise to the same position in the power hierarchy, and they are

You will never close all the loopholes. It is impossible and the real people in power don't want it. High taxes, like in most of current society, will always mostly keep the poor poor and eliminate the middle class; politicians just dr

I mean that the manual record keeping and reporting is completely infeasible. Some traders I know in USA end up with hundreds of pages of records

This makes using crypto so unworkable that it practically makes every user with large amounts a criminal. Well, based on the author's implications, not on the quote that just indicates it is payments to a business

Monero is often accepted (such as in the pipeline situation). It is an interesting usecase that the company could try to pay privately to avoid legal action themselves.

Society has been like this for a long time. Automation and economies of scale has made it much more efficient to produce necessities. Yet society has failed to convert that into allowing the low classes to have more free time. Everyone need

> The question was what are the efficiencies per transaction. Yes and the calculations are all completely invalid. Not sure what you are missing. You need a whole infrastructure to power a transaction. That means an asset with value, a s

You can't trust anyone whose words have political impacts. Not sure why so many people assume good will and make up convoluted reasons for decisions that go against the best wishes of the public. Politicians constantly lie in plain sig

The total market value of BTC is higher than the Russian Ruble. It is securing a lot of value. https://coinmarketcap.com/fiat-currencies/ >That's not just to secure the value of dollars, your comparison is mean

Bitcoins are produced and secured through the mining process. It doesnt just process a transaction. Dollars are backed and secured by the USA. How much energy does the USA military use?
174.
by ajkdhcb2 5y ago
Your calculation is invalid too. Mining energy is not just used to process a transaction. Miners really do it to generate more BTC. It is the energy of the whole network. You're not including all related activities like the energy used

by ajkdhcb2 5y ago
But you are ok with the fractional reserve banking system that has now reached the point there are sometimes literally no legally required reserves? If you behave anywhere near as absurdly as the traditional financial system then everyone c

That's fine if you have a legitimate source of profit to demonstrate, not necessarily easy to explain source of funds otherwise

Bitcoin is not private and the chain is becoming monitored more and more closely. Every exchange leaves a permanent record. Probably monero will start to fill the gap if cash starts becoming too difficult

Seems like 15 years or so should be plenty of time to see a worldwide, incredibly deep dystopian shift. It's already well underway
