I really like this article. I'm a huge fan of synchronous feedback (pair programming) and asynchronous feedback (merge/pull requests). In my career I've always been irritated by managers that think that pair-programming is wa

Tether is the counterexample of what she/he said. Tether is not algorithmic, it's backed by fiat.

I think NFTs are great because they move money from the hands of the stupid&rich to the hands of artists.

Being opt-in is a feature, not a bug. Because of Monero's privacy not being opt-in, there are so many exchanges that simply blacklist it. But being a hybrid coin will mean that you can use privacy when transacting, but can disable priv

Nothing to see here, people, this has been already reported as a bug and hopefully be fixed soon: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/11177

Let's say you're a communist in Hungary in that year: would you still walk in the street very calm? Even if you are a communist, demonstrating that to a Russian communist wouldn't be very easy, don't you think? Saying &q

You see it as "restrictions" because you must be a developer. GPL licenses mainly benefit the user of the software, and for the user these are not restrictions but rights (e.g. the right to see the source).

Definitely. Personally I only buy flights&hotels (&Amazon via Purse.io) with crypto.

My fav P2P exchange is localcryptos.com which, unlike Bisq, doesn't require downloading/installing software locally.

Exactly. On top of that, you have to find specific places where it's allowed to park them. However, you can park a van anywhere.

Sorry I can't buy the idea. Once you have some oracle, you have more centralization than a properly decentralized currency. And then you end up with the worst of both worlds: as expensive and slow as a cryptocurrency, and as trust-depe

That will be a moot point soon, considering that even if converting bitcoin to USD is not that difficult anyway, some places (read: not merchants, see link) will just convert it for you automatically when taking your payment, e.g. https:&#
