I work in this industry and there are a lot of bad UI choices all around. The picture of the California board looks like a good example and uncluttered. They have the budget out there to do that. It doesn't have to be this way. There a

It can't. For example if you target a certain level of money velocity people could just spam large fake transactions and cause inflation. Bitcoin does enable some interesting monetary ideas like demurrage, or constant recycling of the

I am very biased because I know the people at Blockstream have been thinking about this problem longer than the developers of Ethereum. Please see this article to get an idea of the personalities involved: http://www.newsbtc.com&

I don't think JP Morgan is going to give you the private key to your bond. This is a slightly more decentralized version of holding securities in street name. It's less painful than direct registration, it's publicly auditabl

It's a big deal imo, but a major blow for Bitcoin, because it's nowhere to be seen. Have you ever purchased a bond? Ever wanted to sell one on the secondary market? Ever heard of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program? Y

You typeset all your lecture notes? I'm not sure this would benefit a student. Something I wish I did when I was in school is download the solutions manuals and work problems. I considered that cheating when I was in school but now I t
