“Bitcoin uses more electricity per transaction than any other method known to mankind, and so it’s not a great climate thing,” is all Bill Gates seemingly said. Even I think, less energy consumption would probably be better, and I am pro Bi

Wanted to basically write the same thing. It is also the reason, why I (and many others) write less sophisticated one-liners and more really dumb code, than I did 5-10 years ago.

"Frankly, if there were a 'global currency' it would be de-facto something like a massive, well managed ETF fund whereby 'credits' would map to a portion of said assets. It could be anonymous, and maybe transactions

Not being able to? Maybe there are cases, where managers cannot buy Bitcoin but can buy stocks.

Ad hominem was not my intent, rather stating, that people try improving Bitcoin every day. It is just the state of the art which does not mean, that things cannot be improved, e.g. by you.

Bitcoin is being actively developed. Maybe you would have good ideas on how to improve the things you critizise if you allowed yourself to think about them.

Bitcoin could be seen as an attempt to introduce a new non-inflationary base currency.

So land it is, since we can both agree on it. My thesis remains, that "real production value" does not exist, or at least is dwarfed by people "electing" a store of value. Like Tesla, gold or land. Bitcoin seems to me un

Yeah, no big players here. /s Would be interesting to see distributions compared. I imagine it to be similar everywhere: most stuff is owned by not that many people. Only difference: in Bitcoin, they might be different people, thus add

I did not play the original Master of Orion, but absolutely loved the second part. I started focussing on science (namely Psilons) and only later developed a taste for trying out other strategies/races. I often played multiplayer with

Just wanted to mention https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/ in case someone did not know it. No 3rd party, no trends, tweets in order, etc..

It does not encompass Bitcoin's feature of being Bitcoin. Should majority of digital wealth ever be transferred to another Technology, I think it is most probable that this transfer is going to be discussed a lot even before it happens

The last two params are why I like the proposal of Twitter becoming a "dumb" protocol leaving all filtering to the client.

What about Soundcloud and Spotify? Were there more people actively listening to music before the internet? Maybe more that actively listened to full albums, but I find the music community to be pretty vibrant and diverse, albeit in a very s

I tend to like movies/shows on Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics like the movie less than the other users, e.g. The Orville https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/orville P.S.: And audience score should roughly be abo

A lot of the goods to be exchanged for bitcoins might be in the "wrong" hands at this moment or will yet have to be produced.

The already existing mining hardware would make attacks easier and more probable, especially considering actors able and willing to operate at a loss.

Both are scarce and easy to pass on.

Hypothetical indeed. Hypothetically, ownership value should be close to sale value. At the moment I rather see people buying stuff that they think other people might deem valuable in the future, e.g. motivation behind buying TSLA is similar

Pretty sure that Bitcoin is the one exception, simply by being first. Thus, it is the single most suited experiment to determine, whether a digital store of value is possible at all, (the argument being that if it cannot be a SoV or can eas

What's bad about speculation? Or do you mean short term speculation? There are many bitcoins that did not move for many years. I do not get why speculation in ETFs, land/housing and other assets is accepted as normal, and with Bit
