The first time I heard Maggot Brain, I was on hallucinogens. It was probably the most ecstatic I’ve ever felt in my entire life. I will never ever forget that day.

But fully audited and regulated stablecoins like USDC and BUSD exist and operate freely, so this doesn’t seem likely.

Destructuring is one of the things i love about Clojure! I’m happy that js and python have also adopted it.

I wonder if the nocoiners here are aware that YCombinator is incubating a lot of crypto startups. Coinbase is a YCombinator company.

This has been done conclusively a long time ago. Owning a Doink-it [0] is the only proof you're not a baby. Why we are even discussing this is beyond me. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eb5sNjhItw

It's a problem with FOSS. Microsoft, Apple, Google have lots of resources to incentivize h/w manufacturers. Apple is even making its own chips now.

I'm not talking about scalping. Woodstock was a legendary event. The tickets would now be considered collectors items.

While this forum has lots of people who are into tech and finance inexplicably getting their panties in a bunch over crypto, YCombinator keeps incubating crypto startups and making big money...

That's not why making an NFT out of the ticket is interesting. It's interesting because I can, for example, resell my Woodstock ticket on an open market.

Very interesting article, thanks for sharing! I hope someone makes a 3D model of such a "minimilist" working Analytical Engine that we can play with. Would be cool if we could enter a program and see it being processed. Seeing AE

This is how to use jet fuel to get stains out of a yak: Put some jet fuel on the stained yak... wait a bit... rub it in... and then put it through the washing machine. Hope it works!

Not only this, Satoshi had even predicted that the price would be very unstable and grow exponentially before it became stable. Early Bitcoiners have known this and predicted it several times. See this post from a decade ago for reference:

Like I said, I don't try to convince people to buy Bitcoin, because I remember how I used to respond to people talking about it. I would mock them, call it a ponzi scheme, call them shills, etc. I think Satoshi did it right. He said -

I used to hold similar views before life-changing events that now have me firmly on the side of BTC and crypto in general. You can't convince them - in their mind, you are part of the "scam", and hence not trustworthy. No poi
