Demand went down during covid, prices absouletly went down as well. For hardware: Demand goes up, supply goes down, prices go up. Inflation, but not related to monetary policy.

Sensationalized headlines during an extrodinary time in economic history. We've literally just come off the biggest DEFLATIONARY shock of our lifetimes (the pandemic), of course you're going to see tailwinds the year after unpreci

It's near two fault lines... "Though it was built less than a mile from the Shoreline fault line, which was not known to exist at the time of construction, and is located less than three miles from the Hosgri fault,"

Most clients haven't updated to the new fee model. Once they do you'll see similar if not less gas fees (strictly due to better prediction).

Distribution has had 4-5 years to distribute with PoW (ETH specifically). Moving to PoS now makes sense. All these points for/against PoS/PoW are technicalities at this point given that "decentralization" is a spectrum.

Rolling/live update of a $300B consensus layer holding over $50B of assets, and moving much much more everyday. Pretty impressive.

Hmm maybe "positive view" is the wrong approach. I think "impossible to not have a negative view" is better wording. Indiffernce is generally how I feel about a lot of companies. My perspective on Amazon is negative.

A company is completely different from a group or race of individuals. A company is a single entity (individual).

This is the hidden layer/feature behind blockchains it seems most people don't realize. They are amazing instruments for transparent social coordination and funding. The things happening with DAOs now and multisigns are incredibly

There's no incentive to run a freenode. The network is extremely censorable/traceable.

Cool, I don't care if you buy it. The question asked: "What are the projects you’ve seen that are doing compelling, novel, valuable work?" ENS fits that category. Peer to peer lending is cool too.

Decentralized and censorship resistant name routing service? https://ens.domains/ That's a killer app imo.

Most people do not understand anything about economics-in fact most economics is a work in progress.

Pay for a subscription. Good luck getting unbiased non-clickbait news when journalists only source of revenue is directly tied to advertisment in an article.

Toyota is the last automaker (historically) to integrate "new" tech into their vehicles. If you look at their current offering of transmissions, engines, or batteries they use really old tech. However, this gives them a huge advan

Enforcement and source of truth are separate entities/problems. The blockchain can be the source of truth, but that truth might not be enforced. The difference between it, and a centrally controlled entity is the truth cannot be altere

You can not like crypto and still acknowledge the very real technology powering crypto. Whether it's Byzantine fault tolerance, or cryptoeconomics, there are some good solutions there. People's issues tend to be whether the soluti
