It’s a rebranding that’s underway mostly driven by US actors having decided to make this mainstream in the next 3-5yrs. It’s pretty well executed, look at eg recent senate hearing with crypto high rollers

Let’s see who will be proven right. I am fully committed to saving the climate etc but in my mind NFTs have absolutely nothing to do with that. NFTs are real and however we prevent climate change will not prevent the continued existence and

I think I could’ve been friends with Aaron, he seemed like such a great person. That he took his own life says something about his attitude towards it and it resonates with me. It’s a choice and there may be reasons why you are willing to c

By making it an NFT I think he creates something bigger than himself, something that could last generations. If he just gets a donation from FB, that would be some random amount of money…who cares.

He should auction an NFT and Zuck/FB/MVRS should buy it for a decent amount

> undemocratic lawlessness What is that supposed to be? It’s not a known concept. If you think it means something you should define it. As a lawyer, it’s perfectly legal to circumvent a law by designing around it. Crypto does that perfec

This is super valuable for the audience it addresses. It’s well researched and easily understandable. This is money well spent. I wished everything that comes out of Europe would be so current.

Thank you for these two posts. Very informative and unbiased. People here simply don’t want to know. They have become what they despise in other people that are ignorant of certain technologies. There’s absolutely nothing you can do to chan

Have you looked at DFINITY? It seems they want to get into that space.

The point everyone is trying to make is that because the bitcoins are technically not fungible they will, over time, also become practically not fungible due to, eg government intervention (AML, CO2, whatever). That is pretty much set in st

Not true even within the bitcoin specification itself. Look at how transaction fees are calculated. Older coins pay less fees than newer coins. They are not fungible. It’s one of bitcoins biggest weaknesses. Even Adam Back agrees with that
