Another "blockchain without bitcoin" post. You can't have one without the other.

For the lack of a better word, you seem salty. You make a lot of allegations that arent supported by any evidence. Everybody can design a perfect system, few can make the tradeoffs to build something that works.

>but it has little uses outside of being worth a lot of money. Absolutely, yet being a store of wealth is a use case in itself. Technically bitcoin is eclipsed by Ethereum (capability wise) and Monero (privacy wise)

The Cossacks were split along class lines too, there is a lot of documentation on that. Young and poorer ones fought for the reds, wealthier and older landowning ones for the whites. Lenin at least was smart enough to keep some elements of

Instead of grasping on semantics of his language, why don't you try understanding the meaning? At the end of the day what you propose limits human freedom for a greater collective "good". Good luck with that.

America became the biggest economy because of brains and innovation driving it, its as true a hundred years ago as it is today. The opportunity to make money for yourself - thats what drove the American economy and still drives it today. A

Thats because I don't see anything wrong with inheritance, in an utopia everybody might work for the benefit of the community as a whole, but that will never happen. Ask your plumber when he is digging in shit whether he is doing it ou

Why is it not "fair"? You earned that money, its yours to spend or invest how you see fit. If your company would have failed, you would have lost not only money, but also time, and the opportunity cost of doing something else (ak

Seems like you're striving for equality of outcome, instead of equality of opportunity. And I'm the first person to concede that there is no real equality of opportunity per say, a lot of individual factors come into play. At the

When this nanny starts a nanny management company and sends nannies to people who need them, she will probably earn enough to afford the six dollar bread. Why is there so much hate towards the rich on HN? A few years ago HN was all about sh

How many people can realistically grasp those? Or even be worker drones in those industries? ~30% of people are unable to grasp material beyond Gr 8 math. There is a huge problem looming on the horizon - human obsolescence.

Incredible that you are so heavily downvoted. Just shows the level of fear and disdain that even technical people have towards cryptocurrency.

Considering that research shows that every human existed today is descended from a small group that survived the Ice Age in Madagascar, I wouldn't call it a flaw. More like a self-regulating system that adjusts to behaviors where every

Yup you got it. Bitcoin cash is a game of musical chairs - you can only raise the block size so much before its completely centralized (even more than it already is), by hardware requirements.

Good luck being the world policeman and shutting down ICOs (most of which copied ethereum's model and are based in Switzerland), and the investors. The SEC is there to ensure bankers and early investors (those who by virtue of large we
