This is great! Would be nice if it didn’t include sites with paywalls as an option.

I mostly think in private, though I code in public. The reason is simple: packaging my thoughts for the public takes a lot of extra time that I'd prefer to spend realizing my ideas. If I need feedback on ideas, I'll bounce it on t

Gosh, it's not that complicated. They're just asking if the product is company-owned or community-owned. That's the distinction between web 2 and 3; just like the distinction between web 1 and 2 was whether the content was

All distributed databases are designed to "always be up", that's the point of making them distributed, otherwise a single instance is fine.

Crypto hasn’t become anything. It’s a technology like any other, that can be used for good or bad. If you don’t see potential in the tech, fine. If you do, then what other people are doing shouldn’t matter.

For Rx[0] I built a custom GUI using opengl and Luminance[1]. I'm very happy with the results and would do it again if I had the chance. I'm a Linux user, and there is no acceptable GUI framework to may taste on Linux, so this was

This is basically really good news for bitcoin, since China will no longer source the majority of hashing power. It’s an opportunity to further decentralize hashing power across the globe, and for the west to take a stronger foothold.

At these levels, not much. Bitcoin’s security is still rock solid and pulling off an attack is still incredibly expensive. For those who are still mining, ie. the rest of the world, mining will be more profitable until the Chinese hashing p

Yes, for those still mining, this is great!

There are a couple answers to this question, but the truth is we have ~100 years to figure this out, and the world will be a very different place then.

When this becomes an actual problem (it isn’t yet), the lightning network is ready to handle that kind of throughout.

I'm not sure why you would compare Visa with Bitcoin, unless you had no idea what you were talking about.. Visa does not enable one to transact without the rest of the banking system. It's useless on its own. Really pointless poin

Yup, you're right. The "store of value" aspect only accounts for the price minus the premium, and the premium is typically large, especially on vintage watches.

Not all jewelery has a huge markup over the metal weight. If you buy a gold watch, you can always get its gold value back. Same with stones.

by cloudhead 6y ago
Gold's inherent value represents less than 1% of its total value. The rest is monetary premium. Bitcoin is 100% monetary premium, ie. inter-subjective value. Another thing to consider is that people buy gold jewellery as a store of val

Curious to know what would invalidate your current belief? It seems like half a trillion dollars in economic value is not convincing enough. So what is?
