We've gotten this far because we've had a rather stable climate for the past few thousand years. The current rate of the change is the problem. You must have missed it: https://xkcd.com/1732/

You're trying very hard to project your way of thinking onto others, or simply giving them excuses. We've understood with other cases like Strauss-Kahn that their social networks know. The ones involved here are not particularly k

I may have misunderstood you, but transactions are already processed without human intervention. > Updating and running the cryptocoin network can be done on the computational margin of the many devices that are in everyone's pocket

Once the price of a transaction converges to the cost of the infrastructure processing it, I don't see a technical reason for crypto to be cheaper. It's likely cheaper now because speculation, not work, is the source of revenue.

No it's not, that's what happens when people can spend someone else's money without consequences, potentially by asking a friend what they need. That happens everywhere, all the time, but let's not pretend this is econom

It's fairly obvious that France won't do much if China were to invade Taiwan, but we can at the very least pretend that we care about their fate. It's a much better functioning democracy than ours. There was never a scenario

Interesting how all the examples at the top are in the form of "It started here, now it's worth $xB". At least we've stopped pretending it was for anything else but money, and the power that comes with it.
