There are casual millionaires everywhere. People only notice the ones who prefer to stand out, who are probably the minority.

The article also makes a brief mention of some type of violence, but curiously does not elaborate on it.

He justified it with his next sentence: > If farm workers' job gets sufficiently bad from a value proposition perspective, then people will leave the occupation and employers would be forced to pay higher wages to attract workers.

Someone currently in college told me that if you just don't pay them, they simply start forgiving then. Unofficially. I don't know how true that is.

Part of me suspects that hearing some sad songs as a child gives you a greater appreciation for life at a young age, and helps you to see the world while taking fewer things for granted. "Please don't take my sunshine away" s

I dunno, I care very much about increasing the number of BTC I have because I believe that though the price is variable, the trend is up over time. I study and try to employ everything from dollar-cost averaging to loan platforms with inter

All this characterizing as "lying" is so dramatic. Is there literally no possibility that he misunderstood something, or that maybe the caller-out from the ad agency is themself leaving something out? People are so quick to labe

Not talking about coin origin are we. I suppose the point is to not have something seized from you which you do not want taken. Anyway, these questions are now outside of/unrelated to common sense understanding of what a "finalize

It's a tool, but not a silver bullet. Mixers exist, for example. But that's not even the main point. The key holder has the ultimate power to simply throw away the key. There is no recourse for that.

It's not just like Bitcoin, because if the keys aren't accessible, nothing can be done.

Credit card transactions are reversed all the time.

by beaned 5y ago
I think you need to elaborate on this. Law enforcement can enforce the things they have power over, like putting someone in jail. But they do not have power over the blockchain and they cannot reverse a transaction.

Is it that concentrated? People used to criticize that it was concentrated in China, and then that changed basically overnight when mining was shut down the. Now people still say this but how much is it true?

I don't think you understand how the Blockchain works or what the proper concept of a finalized payment is. The government cannot undo a Bitcoin transaction. If the keys are accessible, they can seize the coin and create a new transa

> If the federal government disagrees with the bitcoin blockchain, then the blockchain is wrong It isn't, though. The record is kept, and in fact the government needs to submit to the blockchain's laws to move any coin around.

Yeah, this bothered me, too. His choice of definition for payments is unclear because it leaves out that very obvious and pervasive method. He also describes a Bitcoin transaction as not being "final" because it was seized by the

Are there 100-year events associated with 100 square-inch plots of floor? No... But there are with coastlines, cities, dams, forests, deserts, islands, volcanoes, etc. Of course there are other compounding factors. Not all events are one-in

Reminds me of the fact that on overage, one out of every hundred places you know will be experiencing a once-in-a-hundred-years event. When you hear once-in-a-hundred-year event, it makes it sound quite rare. One might look around and say (

Yes, this could be, too. Already some communists and capitalists are united in seeing crypto as the peoples' money.

I have a fear that in our current political climate, the introduction of CBDCs at scale will fracture digital money into Democrat money (CBDCs) and Republican money (crypto), and maybe even our economy into Blue and Red, every single econom

Because it actually works, Coinbase never added it. Regulatory pressure.

That doesn't seem to be nearly what has happened, though.

I don't think there is any conflict here, people aren't criticizing how the free market works, they're criticizing Spotify for what they see as caving. The "free market" allows companies to do whatever they want wit

I enjoy NFTs, so why would I not want them to be more broadly supported on other platforms that I use? Plus, this helps decentralize in two ways: Firstly, it lessens monopoly power over the NFT space by OpenSea. Secondly, Coinbase itself

Sure, just like social media. Let's start with that. People all in here claim to be "anti-authority" and "anti-fascist" but can't resist their impulse to control others' behavior.

Okay, whether or not you think they should do it (personally I think it's cool), I'm telling you the reasons why they're likely forming these policies now.

This is all probably prep for their NFT platform, which will be instagram-like in social structure, but also allow for metamask-like (i.e. decentralized) logins. [0] [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFYOe1Btf8A
