The usual financial system is far more efficient at converting your wealth for the use of the oligarchs. USD for example has lost almost 100% of its value since the institution of the Federal Reserve system. The wealth did not go away. It

Then he is going to get rekt. As the DAO debacle demonstrated, the attack surface is utterly baroque, and governance is for shite. Buterin literally said "Turing completeness is a red herring". Smartest thing I ever heard him s

I seem to have struck a nerve. You know it is true. The white house press corps, the science coverage, etc. Most reporters are undeserving of the association with journalism on the level of an, e.g. greenwald. They act as propaganda chan

Honesty matters in money. Without it, you pay frictions for graft. Liquidity vehicles abhor frictions. Zcash has been crashing for a long while, and stealing 20% of the economy outright is a large part of the reason. Yes, it motivates th

Buy and hold as much monero as I possibly can for as long as possible. So far it is up 240x. I anticipate another 240x to come. That is x as in *, not %. Why hold? Because it is going to go up and down a lot, but you don't know when

It is crazy slow and uses absurd amounts of memory, as well as being simultaneously an object lesson in both over-engineering, and under-engineering. Built by academics, so it's not unexpected. Nice example of the application of recen
