Which expiration date and what price? When I checked last time they seemed pretty expensive.

OP did mention price inflation as one of the factors.

The whole financialized economic system is running on irrational exuberance and is frothy as hell. We could have a collapse in trust and a deflationary shock would send valuations to the ground but that is unlikely to happen because that wo

And that's fine. The population of each country can decide for themselves where they store their wealth and in which proportions. It's not like Bitcoin is the first tool to enable this. In fact, most Turkish people are much more u

Are your 100k bunglemudgeons exchangeable for $10 million?

Wow, never knew about that combination of keys and the fact that it brings extended options in the drop down menu. Thank you!

I am curious what battery technology they will use. I have recently found out about Ambri's liquid metal battery ( https://ambri.com ) which got me excited about grid level batteries. If this technology pans out it could be t

You’re right, I installed it using TestFlight on my iPhone. I guess they don’t have a proper release yet.

I recently started playing with the Breez wallet ( https://breez.technology ) and they introduced a podcast player directly in the app, and small payments are sent to the author every few seconds, while you listen to the podcast e

The FED and mainstream economists know that if interest rates will go up it will create huge deflationary forces (on top of existing ones) so they will do everything in their power to keep them low. I doubt we will see high interests for th

Also worth checking Gitea ( https://gitea.io/en-us/ ) which is a popular fork of Gogs.

Not an NFT fan but point taken. We need to go at this from all directions, but picking energy use cases one by one will make a mess of it. We need incentives at the base layers (energy production, fuels etc.)

I agree with you. And the irony is that the western wealthiest countries have the highest carbon footprint per capita. So the biggest impact would be made by changing our own lifestyles, but it's easier to rip on crypto art than give u

Noms might be what you’re looking for ( https://github.com/attic-labs/noms ). Dolt is actually a fork of Noms.

VPNs like Tailscale look like the future to me.

We definitely need a heavy carbon tax on any energy production that has negative externalities. I don't care if its cryptocurrency, video gaming, datacenters or dryers, if it consumes a lot of electricity we need to incentivise people

I don't know how text is implemented, but based on my experience, it matters. On my 13inch MBP screen text and everything else is incredibly sharp. I hope someone more knowledgeable can chime in.

It’s not only about pixel density, although that’s important. Most importantly, 5k gives you integer scaling for a resolution of 2560 × 1440, which is perfect for 27 inch. If you can get similar results with another setup I would love to he

Your first sentence draws a conclusion using the benefit of hindsight. Your second sentence doesn’t make sense in the context. TVs and radios were also not broken before the internet.

This does have David Chaum as one of the authors so that’s good for privacy, but I doubt any real CBDC implementation will allow for true privacy.

Absolutely! I’m part of that venn diagram and I am disappointed that there wasn’t more light shone on the whole thing.

I meant it as a figure of speech, in that the 2 parts can't see eye to eye. I care about the legitimacy of the space and I am not a big fan of these backed stable coins, because they can't be easily verified.

This news is so funny. Tether detractors see this as confirmation that they were right all along, while crypto currency fans say that this is confirmation that it was FUD all along. No bridges were built in this endeavour.

It looks like they settled for $18.5 million and Bitfinex has to stop activity in NY.

Folks, please stop with the ‘whataboutism’ argument. We are debating the morality of energy usage so comparative arguments are perfectly fine. You don’t hear every day articles about the huge nr of gaming PCs or gaming consoles sucking ener

It is the bed central banks have laid for ourselves. They did and continue doing everything in their power to prevent asset price deflation, and this is the result. And I imagine that when things will get even more out of control we will ge
