You've just posted an opinion about bitcoin without backing it up with facts. I'll happily engage if you post credible, verifiable facts that backup your claims about Bitcoin.

To be fair: this type of problem is present in most countries where religion is a major part of society and government. I can list a dozen other countries with strong religious backdrops where abortion laws are oppressive in the eyes of mos

That's not my point. People aged 25-30 first enter the housing market. Most of the millennials have been on the market for a while now, but haven't been able to buy because it is unaffordable to them. I know 40yo people that have

Europe is doubly-screwed, because the central bank can't raise interest rates without causing instant defaults for most southern European countries, because their bonds become junk at any rate above 0%. They've painted themselves

That's what I took out of it too. Sacrificed a bit of speed and a lot of memory for a smaller output size. edit: ah, bzip3 is parallelizable, while bzip2 isn't. That alone is enough for me to be able to claim 'faster'.

A very obvious problem bitcoin solves is Wikileaks getting kicked off the Visa/MasterCard rails, because it published articles the government didn't want published. The current financial system is perfect for most people in the fi

I'd like to point out that the majority of people on Earth don't transact digitally at all, because those systems we trust don't allow them on. I'd also like to point out that trusting a system of accounting is a moot po

You don't use a wash dryer I assume. Or Christmas lights? Plugged out all standby appliances? Never drive a car? Working without a laptop? Comparing energy usage of a global system with the total energy usage of a country is absurd, an

I doubt the board is going to agree. Musk might want to buy, but they will actively thwart his efforts, even if that's not in the interest of shareholders.

Bitcoin isn't averse to change, it's averse to changes that impede on its core attributes: decentalized, permissionless, global, censorship-resistance. Increasing the block size as a patch to keep fees down infringes on the core a

In the end, all decentralized solutions for problems have the same inherent motivator; a token that is supposed to have and/or gain value as the system gets used. As crypto-tokens are mostly a zero-sum game, where the strongest, bestes

Calculating the levenshtein distance from users, the average difference between the avatars, and looking at basic interactions in reply-to-reply-to-users isn't AI. That's heuristic. And it should have been implemented ages ago.

I agree with the sentiment about NFT's, but not because of the concept, but the current day implementations. NFT's on blockchains that aren't decentralized or permissionless are a farce. I do see a future for provable ownersh
