Cryptocurrency by comparison is too easy to trace at an exchange. As long as everybody is happy to stay off exchanges.

The main difference is that this is literally all Bitcoin is intended for - “just another way that money exchanges hands.”

It would be very unfortunate to be in that 1%, particularly if the implications were dire economically or for liberty. 1% is an enormous percentage. I personally wouldn’t even settle for 0.1%.

Yes, but only some things. My brother and best man are doctors, and we have a home doctor service and a GP. The first two provide ample support for most instances.

There is no "more fungible". It is either fungible or it isn't. Provenance can either be determined, or it can't. Sure there may be a degree of difficulty to determine provenance for some things, but if you cannot determ

It isn't as decentralised as Monero. 5 pools control 60% hashrate for BCH, the top 5 XMR pools control 13% (Yuge difference). Also, Monero has a dynamic block size, so it is somewhat future proofed while BCH has another hardfork if it

Doing this with Facetime and some other tools (telehealth) might be the best of both worlds.

No it isn’t bro, otherwise they would be the same. They are only the same from a specific block. There is a difference in being implicit and explicit.

Not really. I think Monero has that mantle. Mining was supposed to be decentralised and the cash was supposed to be fungible.

And the blockchain history.

It wasn't even a 1.0 release.

This is possibly the worst rationale ever. Here is the worst counter point ever - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbZ8zDpX2Mg

Then you have a systemic problem allowing greedy ignorant people to be decision makers. Not sure how to fix this, but I believe there is a solution.

You still had a system that decided removing airbags was a good idea. Then, when getting smacked in the face, doing nothing to the people involved in removing the airbags or causing the face smacking.

Reading this made me even more bullish on crypto currencies. Every time there is a crash I listen to the audiobook.

I personally think Facebook would do well as a crypto bank on an open protocol, rather than their own coin.

Decentralised services mitigate the somebody taking liability for the coordination.

I hear what you are saying, but it isn’t actually that complicated. Granted, it does get more complicated with larger sums as risk and security requirements increase. That said, if you are an adult, maybe it is time to not rely on a third p

My hope here is that the strategists will see that the best defense here is “hearts and minds” and a strong bias towards creating a good truth. If defense funding were pushed towards these pursuits, what an amazing world we could build!

Is it better than the status quo where you just say “:| yep, that’s me, I’m a victim of revenge porn”.
838.
by hndamien 9y ago
Now they can just say, "oh, I've been deepfaked" and move on. In many ways this will be psychologically liberating for many victims of revenge porn.

This is a pyramid scheme and not a Ponzi. I'm disappointed.
