If everyone thinks this is an existentially large drop, from a historical perspective, now is probably a fantastic time to buy Bitcoin. I think DCA-ing into ~1% of net worth held in crypto over the next few weeks would be a pretty solid tra

I think how the SV techbros in this thread view cryptobros is probably fairly similar to how most of society views SV techbros.

What is the source of truth for valid eyeball scans? Whoever uploads the eyeball scan data first? What would prevent someone with a large database of eyeball scan data from embezzling $1/day for each eyeball-identity they control? If

Reliably verifying the identity of every human on the planet is not something I have any confidence this org will solve. I'm not even sure if its possible to solve for $1/day/identity. This will get sybil attacked, millions

Watching a chatroom of important people chatting doesn't sound terribly compelling, would need some sort of interaction/audience feedback mechanism and feels like it could get a bit podcasty, which many like but just not for me. T

I saw this article early in my software development career and found it very valuable. Nostalgic and a good reminder. Send this to the still-learning software devs you care about.

Lots of military action in modern times is worse than 1-to-1. Huge expense to destroy stability-enabling infrastructure, leaving the world a more dangerous place.

If Elon Musk can reform the bluecheck system to stop lending 'journalist' credibility to 'professional take-havers', he will have done society a great service.

That danger is already present in the entirety of mainstream media, and twitter before this announcement. Why do you think Elon is uniquely dangerous in this regard?

Would be cool to do a deep analysis of all of the dark PR and astroturfing, then once they have solid data, make all the data about it public. Expose who is paying for shills and what the shills are saying. Could be a wikileaks-level socie

I would love for an investigative journalist to try to find an Elon-funded shill network. I personally suspect that his army of stans is large enough he doesn't need shills, but it'd certainly be a huge story if they could prove h

I think that its quite qualitatively different if they aren't being directly funded by Elon's pocketbook. True shilling feels significantly more morally repugnant than these sorts of 'coattail-riders', but their impact i

There is an inherent classism to "piracy is stealing" arguments: by gating access to culture, it effectively says "poor people shouldn't be able to participate in culture, because they don't have enough money"
