So your argument is they should stay and work for pennies, hoping to get an "interesting" job in the future, instead of getting an interesting and highly paid job right now? It's also not obvious at all it's a bubble. AI

So the counterfeiters will use a real hash from one (or from hundreds) of the real products. That's why creating counterfeit-proof physical money is still an unsolved problem. I've been thinking - maybe something like bitcoin can

All could've been avoided by a simple wateproofed satphone with an emergency plan. Inmarsat ones are like $650, plus a few hundred a year for emergencies.

Anti-aging is, in my mind, the most important area of research. I'm shocked billionaires are not throwing billions of dollars at it. Everything else can literally wait.

Nobody would mine bitcoin in the browser in their right mind, it's a waste of resources. You would choose one of the coins made specifically for CPU/GPU mining only, no ASICs.
