So the modern version of traversing the world for silver would be energy used to mine? Like hypothetically the US building tons of nuclear power plants to "win" at mining? Of course that wouldn't add to the supply of bitcoin

My experience in the Bay Area - if you rent the gateway from Comcast ($25/mo) then you have no data cap. If you use your own modem and want to remove the data cap it costs $30/mo, more than renting the gateway. The data cap is 1.2

On the other hand there are people who are productive but kept their savings in USD and lost value. I agree Bitcoin is not a productive asset. However, is there an obviously better way to bootstrap a new form of decentralized money? The aut

Can you pay your taxes in another currency? I think this idea is more about using technology and a digital currency to restrict what can be purchased with a specific digital currency. You said "controlling what currency people use&quot

Signal does a far better job than most. They have open source clients. They sign their builds. The android build is reproducible (you can build it yourself and it will match exactly what they publish, see https://github.com/

Also note that the decryption keys are not built-in. Not like they made it hard to work, but I think it's an important distinction.

I really doubt it. Bitcoin mining is quite fixed, just massive amounts of SHA256. On the other hand, ASICs for accelerating matrix/tensor math are already around. LLM architecture is far from fixed and currently being figured out. I do

Is it possible Bitcoin mining could help incentivize green energy? Bitcoin miners will pay for almost unlimited energy as long as it is cheap. Miners can turn on and off almost instantly. The grid can be improved by having lots of extra pow
