People need to manage risk, buy food and pay rent regardless of their conviction in those principles. However, the traditional financial system is broken or malicious and not serving crypto users properly. It is too difficult and slow to ca

Nobody with basic knowledge in this area would think of USDC as "highly decentralized censorship proof freedom coin". It is centralised and pegged to USD so obviously it must be intentionally interlinked with the banking system.

The parent comment was obviously regarding total/circulating number of dogecoins. It erroneously made a hyperbolic claim there are infinite dogecoins. It is a common misconception even among cryptocurrency fans that the number of dogec

It's like game theory. Once you set rules and laws you can mathematically model and analyse players' behaviour in reaction to those incentives. Assuming players follow a selfish strategy can be a useful approximation of the psycho

Doge inflation is only on the ballpark of 0.3% per year and will continue to decrease asymptotically toward 0%. It is a very sound policy imo

Yep. Most of the comments here are really disappointing nonsense that take the quote out of context and apply bad reasoning to it

Myself and many others were privately joking that it seemed like a fake exchange before it went down - because we've been in the space for a long time but don't know a single person that ever used FTX

An important point: depending on the country it can be better to ship it; I mean, if there are key disclosure laws, traveling with data simply isnt an option to me. Even if its just family photos, I wouldnt want them to be copied and stored

I already played it, so I'm unexcited. Remakes these days generally seem like lazier ways to try to make money compared to making new art from scratch. I thought Cyberpunk was abysmal (though i loved the witcher games) so I wouldn&#x27

To me it is an enormous step toward abuse when it is monitoring that the 16 year old doesn't know about . Even for a much younger child I would find that very disturbing. Just doing some filtering or time limits is completely differe

"monitoring the little bastard doesn't know about via my WiFi router" proves for me but of course that will be a matter of opinion

I'd wager that at 16 years old having no privacy and such a nasty relationship with your parent would have much worse effects

I have never been to the US but lived in multiple countries and they all used SMS. May I ask where you live that doesnt use SMS?

Terrible, made my stomach sink. I got non-technical people to use Signal. They were happy for years but now they are going to be very upset by this and the problems will flow down to me.

The prominent statement in the subtitle "physicists have proved that black holes can shed information" really irks me. Proof is just... not how science works. It is a pervasive and damaging understanding of the process of science.

There are many varieties of Buddhism. It is a mixture of eastern culture and knowledge in general, including many generations of empirical psychotherapy, religion, philosophy, etc. Some varieties of Buddhism, like some schools of Zen, do fo

I can't control who I am attracted to - that is a psycho-biological issue, not a cultural one. I may simultaneously be LGBT but hate 'LGBT culture', actively dislike pride parades, etc. You are failing to distinguish between

The regulations do not apply to individuals using their own wallets. It is not unusual for different laws to apply to businesses and individuals.

1) This is only for the Netherlands. This should really be stated in the title; the post is extremely misleading as it is. 2) It is a meaningless and merely slightly inconvenient rule. It simply adds an extra step: withdraw to your own wall
