Is bitcoin specifically legal tender, or other digital currencies, or layer 2 solutions, or what exactly? If bitcoin only was made legal tender, then layer 2 solutions will not be legal tender, and businesses could choose to only accept di

What? Representing criminals is not unethical or 'immoral'. Period. Protecting criminals legally is not unethical unless you are knowingly doing something illegal yourself. I imagine that most layers are just doing their job an

Primarily because the bitcoin codebase got taken over by some bad actors. However, if ETH takes over in market share, BTC can either improve or become irrelevant. The people controlling bitcoin may be dumb, but they aren't dumb enoug

This is nonsensical. PoS is a mechanism for assuring transactions can get added to the block chain securely. It has nothing to do with whether the controlling interests are centralized or not.

Keep in mind that bitcoin is software. It can, and will be upgraded. If Ethereum ends up leading the way with proof of stake and it ends up being a success, then there is no reason to believe that bitcoin wouldn't follow in its foots

Until Apple unlocks their chips (see never) from their own ecosystem and starts selling server chips and chips that other people can build systems with, they are not really 'competing' in the space.

Percentages of BTC were acceptable also, so it was accessible to people with lower income / value levels.

To be fair, I don't think you can really compare many others to Monero, which is the only major cryto with the property of fungibility. Personally I consider that property so important that if a crypto doesn't consider it a first

Seems like a bad idea unless they offer some other peer to peer alternative for digital payments. This is clearly something that people want. I can imagine they will be reversing this decision at some point.

This is nonsense. Bitcoin has not had much utility since 2015 when the repo was taken over by people who refused to increase the block capacity. A purchase of bitcoin by the govt would massively increase the prices. Transaction of value b

I think the authors point is generally valid. But... Personally, I see things as 'programming can be easy or hard (but doable), but only if you have the type of mentality that you will never quit.' Basically anyone can learn a lan

Amazing. It seems possible that the killer would have required a fairly advanced education to create a cypher with this complexity. Not too many self taught encryption creators exist out there.

Wow. Personally I wouldn't make it a week. I value my time outside of work more than I value work. Of course, like they said, they didn't sign up expecting a 40 week. But yeah, this sounds like torture.

I'm curious about laws in this case. Is there 'jurisdiction' in space? Or is it just whoever is there can decide what they want to do.

You are clearly a core supporter. Obviously any reasonable person is aware that there are technical limitations that prevent infinite scaling. However, your entire argument is a strawman. This never was about scaling instantaneously to a

They leave out just about everything important. No details regarding how the block size increases were blocked, which crippled bitcoin's use as a payment network.
