Bitcoin is 13 years old. The "crypto" that you're most likely referring to is Smart contracts based dApps, 7 years old. The Internet in early 1990s was still over a decade old but had it disappeared overnight then, absolutely

You realized Bitcoin was rolled back early in its history as well right (someone figured out a way to mint billions of BTC)? It doesn't make sense to take an example of what happened in the infancy of a technological innovation like Et

.eth only resolves to an IPFS content if you set it up to do that. shaq.eth probably is not hosting any IPFS content. Here's Vitalik's blog hosted on IPFS and linked to his ENS: https://vitalik.eth.link/ (PS - app

Literally the first point of the blog you linked to: > The crypto project has had 13 years to try and find a problem to solve. It has not found one. You've posted this link under the news article to which crypto has proven to be THE

I have the 16" MBP (late-2019), really annoyed with the heating issues. Any time I do anything intensive, like edit raw images in Lightroom, at some point temperature rises which makes some "kernel process" pretty much hog up

There's another aspect to this analogy - It's like an autographed baseball card + the person / entity autographing the card has declared (by code) that there won't be another one of these autographed series ever (eg - 10

It's all a matter of time. The plugins are a current workaround for when browsers don't natively understand IPFS content. But the rate of growth of this space and with browsers like Brave gaining some traction, I won't be sur

Q1 2019, there was no Beacon chain running. They're pretty much live already but only running the skeleton chain to make sure such a sensitive system is given time to test and work out the kinks. Given that the beacon chain has been ru

Right. And I guess the government should also ban sugary products and being overweight or underweight. Or ban the reading books in a bad posture. /s

Did you just say the Modi Government wants full free speech? Wow. I really recommend looking up what the government's been doing just in the past few weeks. Spending the effort on trying to censor criticism instead of actually working

Last I checked, Google Nest did not have a "Drop-in" feature like Echo where my parents can just drop-into the living room of the other house (no calling or ringing). The Echo device just makes a sound that someone is dropping-in
