You've presented a binary choice, but the reality is actually much more nuanced and complex then this. It is not a zero sum game, we can have blockchain solutions that are part of a wider push toward Web3 technologies where data is dec

Jmyles, your reasoned and compassionate tone and plea to consider the benefits of blockchain which might effect those less fortunate is right on. How about the thousands of people who have already sent millions of dollars back home to devel

Ethereum is still essentially in its "live demo" phase. The release of dApps and user-friendly-ish products in the blockchain space has had about 2 years of traction. Your application of skepticism is appropriate, the burden of pr

I love the way this idea evolved across threads, to stimulate a great discussion! As this idea attracts attention, the limits of scaling this become clear, as does the need for well balanced network incentives. This is one of those problems

The following quote from a recent Coinbase article has me wondering about the recent round of amazing crypto-art tokens and the speculative market that has emerged for buying and selling them. While the proposed eth721 standard makes a dist

It's likely that there won't ever be a single cryptocurrency that solves all the messy and complex problems of our global financial systems. Bitcoin is certainly far from delivering on that promise at the moment. It has however de

You win hacker news today for this double hitter of comments. I love your mental model regarding market cap and implied valuation. Your white paper is more honest then most!

I love CLI projects that use the terminal as a live display. Can anyone point me to some links to awesome terminal projects that are similar to this?

This problem will haunt us forever if we don't take it seriously today. What does taking this seriously look like? Is there an effective model for "lobbying" the industry and specific companies in a meaningful way? As I am ju
