Should we expect S3 to lower prices?

that's a fair take. I'm curious - do you say that after having strongly considered and researched alternatives?

The modern stock market is largely fuelled by speculation. Companies don't pay dividends, so even if you have a claim on the underlying cash flow - you aren't really getting it in practice. Further out, some pieces of equities are

I don't see how it could happen overnight - so I don't imagine it's possible it happens tomorrow. I could imagine it happening over the course of years. But the question then is - what would it take to change the public'

I agree. A fifth point I would add is that it's basically your best best at a global, portable, unconfiscatable diversifier of a portfolio. I think it is a braindead decision for every investment portfolio to have some small (miniscule

In any of this event happening, how easy would it be to upgrade the network with a solution? If the problem is found in time, the network could be forked back to before the problem was exploited?

I believe it correlates to global liquidity and interest rates. Some people have posted good analysis on that. And it's no surprise tech stocks are correlated to said liquidity/rates too. That's how I explain it to myself, at

A lot of things to unpack in this comment, but I mainly want to define success as "appreciating value" and failure as "losing value". So if it went from $100k to $10k in the next year, stayed at $10k for a few years and

I think the slow and expensive argument can be rebuted fairly easily. The traditional financial system is formed of many layers. At a high level, it is: central banks, commercial banks, then card processors. You have to change your view to

Right. By failure I personally meant the monetary value being erased. e.g going from $100k to $10k, staying there for a few years trading sideways, then going down to $0 (or close, whatever) That part feels extremely unlikely to me. I would

Personally, I agree the "freedom" trick you're proposing has a high likelihood of being true. If not invented - then subverted for sure. I believe it's trivial (relative to the power a state actor can exert) to do that.

I strongly disagree with you painting one of its main value props as shady/illegal, but your overall point is good. The survival strategy works. I think for us to really know what would it take to fail, would require really knowing wha

I agree. I think by that time, if the network effect has grown further and more parties have invested large money in it - they’ll just find a way to fix that. For example, they may move to proof of stake. It would ruin the decentralisation

I think the word definition we use doesn’t matter. A currency can be subject to speculative swings too. Your reasoning doesn’t sound correct to me - it reasons by analogy. Yes stocks are subject to swings in value and some have collapsed. B

That’s a fair argument. A rebuttal would be that a) its value prop as a currency is low in developed countries (assuming you’re in one) and b) a money takes significant time to become a medium of exchange and theories believe it first needs

Exactly. I was thinking that in the event of some damage being done by a {bug,attack}, the network effect and vested interest of every party will have them act in saving the network. The value of bitcoin is the collective belief of every hu

Great work. One extra thing about plastic that's more pernicious - under heat it breaks down into microplastics and nanoplastics that are awful for our bodies. A lot of research has recently been published about this in 2024.[1][2][3][

Can you expand more on the incentives? I, and perhaps the other people on the thread, distrust Google actually trying hard to give you the best organic search. The monetary incentives are simply too large to circumvent imo If they really ar
