yes, it's just a data format that can be recursive. it should really replace all the json, yaml, toml and everything else. after using edn i simply hate every other format, they are painful :(

you just have to try to understand the difference. the friction is zero in a proper repl, unlike breakpointing and evaling.

USDT crash will hurt USDT holders. If BTC was propped up like it’s hypothesized, it would have dropped long ago because this theory is alive for at least 5 years and has lived through two big crashes already. There is plenty other on ramps

becoming a billionaire most likely changes your perspective a lot. and he became billionaire 7 years ago. that's plenty of time to think of how to preserve bitcoins such that they aren't lost when one passes away. and since you sa

bitcoin mining is poisson process by definition: mining difficulty is automatically adjusted such that new blocks appear at regular intervals. do you have any specific objection as to why bitcoin shouldn't be modeled in this way?

Bitcoin mining is a poisson process [1] so you have to look at significant moving averages to estimate rate changes. So far looks like hashrate went from ~140E to ~90E, a 35% drop from peak. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

If there is PoW component then it’ll take just as much energy as Bitcoin does to provide the same security, because energy spent = mining reward. Except it’s going to be worse because VDF is the centralizing factor, it’s like having bitcoin
