   Time is relative though. (admittedly for these purposes it makes little difference, but I presume the question of age should be assumed to be from your reference frame, how many revolutions of the sun (Sol) around Earth have you been alive

   You can rephrase that as inflation benefits borrowers more that savers. And borrowers benefit lenders. In the opposite paradigm, savers benefit savers and savers benefit investors. Think of a scenarios that is made up of an economy of a si

   Why people persist with "next" whatever. It should be clear by now that this king makes whatever. I feel it is a decent investment strategy - next bitcoin, next Telsa, Tesla killer - etc. Buy Bitcoin, Buy Tesla.

    The centre of mass point is a really good one. I had not considered what a difference that makes.

    Yikes! I'm in Australia, so did not know this. Ultimately I think we should aim for lighter personal ownership rather than heavy, rugged sharing. And in those cases, use docks, and not dockless.

    Maybe not correctly pricing carbon emissions to account for the externality is the nail. If we paid the true price for the energy, the renewable revolution would have been here long ago.

    I'd love to see a serverless product that could be paid for in cryptocurrency for this reason, with prices quoted in crypto currency (even if fluctuating based on exchange rates and actually pegged to fiat.)

    Please note that I haven't dismissed any point you have made despite your initial dismissal of me. To your point, is a currency is inflating then you are incentivised to not hold it. But who has the right to benefit from the inflation

    I stand corrected on the speed, I think the chart I referenced I mixed mph ad kmh. Anyway, we can agree roughly similar speeds, and anecdotally I will add bikes are faster in the aforementioned conditions but can go much faster. I have no

    The "artificial" or rather "natural physical" limitation on gold is what give it value in the social contract in the first place, so you can't just make it what you want. If you remove the limitations, its very hard

    I disagree with the general vibe of your post although you do make some valid points. They do accelerate faster than bikes, because they have a lower mass (or due to gearing). This lower mass is very important when you have a collision - fo

    The features that make cash good as a medium of exchange are not appreciation or depreciation, but all of the other features of divisibility, fungibility, transferability, common acceptance etc. A good medium of exchange need to be valued s

    Thanks Tom, I felt bad making the retort as well as I like HN to be a happy place. For the record, I am majored in finance, mathematics and cryptography well before these things were linked. I discussed Bitcoin with Hal Varian in 2011 and s

    If you have a fixed money supply that is infinitely divisible, prices would be expected to fall due to deflation and increased purchasing power. Relative values of bread, hour of work, barrel of oil and a house should remain the same (with

    Don't take this the wrong way, but you sound illiterate since you clearly don't understand the words I wrote in context "medium" and "exchange". The statement "You can't eat the medium of exchange&quo

    I don't find it at all desirable that some people have the right to devalue my holdings. It is farcical to think that people would hold the medium of exchange forever if it kept increasing in value because at some point they would eith
