There was never any in crypto either. Anyone who thought so is just as stupid as the HN'ers that think cryptocurrencies are bogus. Thinking a few over leveraged crypto companies getting wiped out will destroy cryptocurrencies is laugha

Any advice for those getting rekt in the traditional markets, or are you hoping that doesn't work out too?

You are not the ignorant one here.

This is becoming an increasingly rare sentiment, and oddly even on HN. Thank you.

Still doesn't have anything to do with Bitcoin, or the bitcoin supply.

You are not informed. Forking is not the issue. There have been forks before. Rewriting the chain history (which is extremely difficult by the way) is the issue.

Can you recommend an audio device that you are sticking in your ears that differs significantly from AirPods that is not dorky?

Yes, but not the apex of the "electronics industry".

He's creating confusion by treating front ends or clients like (Metamask, Opensea, and Infura) as servers when they are actually clients. So dapp -> infura -> blockchain is really client -> client -> blockchain . When mu

Seems like you (and a vast majority of HN including Moxie) is tying web3 to several centralized front ends (Metamask/OpenSea). I saw this back in the 90's when a lot of people thought the internet was "Internet Explorer"

I understand, but people get rich all the time holding stock like AAPL or TSLA. HN doesn't seem to have a problem with that. Some people see the future, do the research and risk it all on a stock or a cryptocurrency, some people take t

A lot of HN users were aware of bitcoin when it was worth pennies. Seeing it sitting at 50,000 dollars after trashing it created bitterness and cognitive dissonance. I visit other sites where I can honestly say their users are honestly igno

The web3 solution is significantly easier than webauthn, if what I read in the above article is to be believed.

There are many new systems that are superior to Ethereum (e.g Polkadot, Terra LUNA) that already satisfy your requirement.
