It's not a bad analogy. Torrents have more cumbersome UX and are less data efficients than direct downloads, yet they are widely used for some types of applications.

That would be a stupid thing to do, as Bitcoin transaction chains are public and permanent, and the use of mixers[1] close to a deal will set off alarm bells. Cash is an infinitely better money laundering vehicle. [1]: tools that blur the t

I guess so, hence qualifying my point as a personal anecdote. In this case since they rely on apps, content search would be possible. You just store everything on the user's device.

The "crypto market" is also very correlated to the US stock market, and risk assets in general. The best way to push the energy usage of PoW money down is to get back fiat money under control and stop incentivizing reckless gambli

Interesting, it might use a flaw in the Etherescan contract verification[1]. But in any case, when you expect a honeypot you can and should execute the contract off-chain[2] and examine the resulting state (specifically your account balance

The Ethereum hard fork was in 2016 after the hack of a project called just "DAO" [1]. No other on-chain event since then, including the recent BadgerDAO hack, motivated a hard fork. Vitalk's article is quite precise about the

Similarly the line about ConstitutionDAO investors struggling to "recoup their losses" is dishonest as they got a full refund, and the DAO token has been pumped by Chinese communities, making it a 10x profit if sold now [1]. [1]
