I still think private ownership for something that is 7.5 - 12kgs makes more sense. Always with you, charge yourself, not cost prohibitive. The market for transient ownership and use still doesn't make that much sense to me, but I gues

I was making the point that bad experiences are commonplace throughout the world. I have worked with people that can't afford bank accounts in the Phillipines and I have had my own bank accounts frozen and had assets stolen by my banki

Different scooters. Not talking mopeds. We are talking 7.5kgs.

You have a very narrow world view if you are your entire sample.

I think we are talking different scooters, I'm not talking about moped. I' talking like Xiaomi, Ninebot, e-Micro. Cheaper than bikes, low effort, high speed, nimble, shopping limited to a back pack, bad in weather. Less weight, le

The crypto dream is that you leave banks all together. It is happening slowly.

Don't forget electric scooters!

You are missing the point. Insert any publicly listed stock that tanked. How about a nice safe bank, like Lehman brothers?

Tesla made a broken ankle newsworthy. So there is one data point.

Once again, this highlights the point that all of the rapid change towards a better cleaner future relies on us actually accounting for the cost of polluting. If your coal plant produces carbon emissions you should have to pay for carbon of

Nothing stops an unaccredited investor betting the farm on Enron. If there is a less perceived risk, people will use more leverage. So all of this "protection" just amounts to restricted opportunity.

I think it depends on the use case. The secret ballot exists for entirely ethical reasons. The Monero blockchain is more specifically hiding provenance (or trails from initial provenance). In your case it would mostly remove reputation for

Just making a point about the economics. The environmental destruction is caused by the energy production in the case of Bitcoin mining. In the case of gold mining, it is done by the mining.

You don't need it at all until you need it. Then you really, really need it. It kind of works like a seat belt. To this day I think I have only actually used my seat belt once in my entire lifetime! My family has literally never used t

The energy cost of mining gold is proportional to the price of gold.

This would be interesting if combined with something like BAT or AdSense or Coinhive to earn revenue from viewing then use that revenue to pay for seeding via something like Sia/ Filecoin.

Time and fees from exchanges. Some routes work out OK, some not so great. Often the problem is liquidity in local markets. Even for small amounts. What look like arbitrage opportunities are really information about money movement inefficien

These problems are not as bad with an electric car like a Tesla. I have left AC on but the battery was fine. I have been dropped off while the driver had no key, and it posed a slight issue once they stopped the car and got off the seat. Ob

Yes, although recorded and publicly broadcast is a lot worse.

A live demo in this case would have involved a very unpredictable human on the other end of the line that had not given consent to be recorded or release the recording.

I had all but given up on our banks. They are really herding us into the arms of crypto. Now I just need a Monero hardware wallet.

So no citation for your assertion then. Got it.

Is there a third philosophy of decentralisation which has different incentives and new constraints that are more to our liking in avoiding a dystopian future.
