Are health insurance costs included in your current $2k monthly expenses? Did you buy the house outright?

thats not true. A billion dollar stock purchase can push the market cap of an asset much more than a billion dollars. Even if you retired the shares you bought after.

7 days late here, but its not an accident that things are priced in USD in the middle of transactions, and its not purely because the US wanted it that way. Imagine if you as an Australian wanted to trade with venezuela. You go and make a d

Generally with zerohedge I mostly stick to the financial stuff, since that is usually properly sourced, even if the site does have a bearish bias its still usually good info. There are definitely some heavily biased political articles thoug

It feels like the US and China are in an undeclared cold war and the US is trying to draw lines to see who is on which side. If you resist using Huawei for example you are more likely on the US side of the fence. Europe hasn't reached

Most dapps are more similar to investing like a tdameritrade, which is allowed in the app store. I guess that doesn't apply to all dapps though.

IRC is missing two major things. 1. If you are logged out you miss the history of conversations 2. Usability for non tech people. Not everyone in chat has technical prowess, I know IRC seems simple but its too intimidating for some.

These are problems that aren't fixed in traditional money either. Money still gets to terrorists and still gets laundered through our biggest banks.

infrastructure I agree, but we should just move funds to do that. healthcare and education are both already spending way too much on. healthcare is pretty obvious, but education as well we spend more than most other countries https:/&

the MakerDAO system has two parts, the DAI token and the MKR token. The MKR token is the governance token the is used to vote on things like interest rates debt ceilings, and other decisions. As people take loans out by over supplying ETH a

coinbase is far too expensive with their normal options. if you use their coinbase pro product it comes down to .3% for taker transactions or .15% for maker transactions. I never use the regular coinbase

you could but if you wanted them to stop others from using the chain it would be pretty costly. if you didnt provide a fee then they go to the bottom of the list to get mined and some miners might not even bother

Ya, that probably wont last long if the exchange is centralized. Would have to re implement on bisq/kyber/uniswap or another decentralized exchange for this to last without KYC. Then of course you have to deal with massively incre

Not going off the article, but if you think that 100% of smart contracts are useless, I would like to know why the uniswap is useless in your mind. Its a decentralized exchange contract for trading tokens on ethereum https://unis

I think the defi movement with MakerDao/Dai, uniswap, and compound finance have eclipsed cryptokitties as the most compelling use.

decentralization and trustlessness I would say are the big two. With Libra its pretty clearly controlled by large tech companies so validating on the network isnt open to anyone. This means it not decentralized in my book. You also have to

whats missing here I think is the value of social consensus. None of these coins have any staying power without the social consensus that makes them the main chain. Its why there can't be clones with the same value popping up every day

if the commons actually wanted larger blocks there was an opportunity with the bitcoin cash hardfork, but that chain has less value and less hashrate now. So when given the opportunity people didn't move to the chain with more transact
