A snarky and simplistic question. Here's a simplistic answer: You could program the NFT to not be transferable based on a blockchain datetime or only transferable in an "escrow transaction" with a minimum exchange value (i.e.

If you mischaracterize this as “advice for the downtrodden” then sure your snark makes sense. Except it isn’t that. Its the internal monologue of a roman emperor dealing with the extreme stresses of his life and his role in the world.

Not quite. Dai is an ERC20 token on top of Ethereum. It might be more accurate to say Dai is a stablecoin coupled to MKR (MakerDAO), a governance token. Dai is over-collaterlized. https://makerdao.com/en/ https:/

Well, not quite. If a majority of miners fork their clients away from the bitcoin code repo by removing the coin cap, they would be creating a "new bitcoin". If the inter-subjective consensus of users also decide to use this new b

Is your runtime data “secret”? I think some people will have a hard time with this concept, but the idea of data being “private” or “secret”, by default , is disappearing. And it won’t be coming back if the world continues to digitize. If

Amazon Go is being absorbed/rebranded under Amazon Fresh, which is supposedly like Whole Foods lite/their delivery service. Might be wrong, this is just my observation in SEA/what I recall.

I'm just going to point out that you said nothing about proof of stake here, and I am getting the sense from your other comments that you do not understand the technicalities of the traditional finance system, or cryptocurrencies.

I’m on your “side” here, but this is a bad take. Coconut oil is mainly comprised of saturated fatty acids. Its closer to butter, not the refined PUFA oils. Consuming anything to excess is gonna mess up your system, water included.

From my understanding, the block rate should increase slightly, reducing fees very slightly. Any fee reductions will likely be eaten up by activity. Lower gas fees will come some scaling changes, not consensus changes. Layer 2 and sharding.
