Why do anti-crypto people always seem to go into all every conversation with completely bad faith? It's fun to take something someone else built, and do something new and not planned by the origional devs with it. That's it, it&#

Frankly, I'm not interested in "critical mass" whatever that means. I want the benefits of free (as in speech not beer) digital products and services. I don't need a critical mass of the population to do that. Bitcoin

"You don't really own your crypto coins unless you have your own wallet on your own hardware" Well, that's the thing about freedom. It's a pretty big responsibility. You can't offload the responsibility and s

"How does that differ from written agreements or stocks today" I think of it more like a PTA organization than a stock and a corporation. The goal of a stock is to create a profit stream for the owners. The goal of a crypto serv

I think there are a few common misconceptions that make people not understand the real value crypto is bringing to the table. Many in tech look at crypto, and blockchain specifically as if it is another technicalogical capability they can i

Also, the index hardware kind sucks (ive had constant hardware issues, and quest 2 is kind of superior in every category that isnt FOV). Facebook is proving to iterate on VR much better, despite Valve taking VR seriously for several years.

Not allowing investigation is not necessary conspiracy to cover up known evidence. It might just be an admission that there is a nonzero chance there is evidence there... and if the world finds that, there could be dire consequences if peo

I used to work in large scale eCommerce too, I would never claim distributed supply chains is trivial. But this was not in reply open source Amazon, this was a reply to the idea of a distributed Uber (the parent comment to mine). That to m

People are going to hate on me, but web3 makes this absolutely trivial to build. If you try to build this as another centralized service, you just end up in the same place but a new dominant owner. Don't get me wrong, there IS a wrong

This is happening with images first, but I can see how this might be able to be leveraged for all kinds of things. The speed at which society might be transformed could be astounding. But it won't be distributed evenly, not everyone

Is a slave zero cost though? Seems like the opposite. You have to pay a large upfront cost for whatever extra marginal output they can produce, which is minimal because you still need to feed/house the slave and their family, but the

Satoshi consensus is essentially the bible to their cultural ideology. You can bridge bitcoin to another chain with faster finality, smart contracts, and environmental consensus. But at the end if the day there will still be a huge amount o

You can bridge bitcoin natively to Avalanche (look up btc.b) and then you can trade bitcoin with low fees, fast finality, get smart contracts, use it in defi.... oh, and it's proof of stake already so more environmental. Just saying :)

I think focusing on the technology of blockchain is a mistake. A lot of web2 people look at blockchain like its a capability they csn integrate into their enterprise architecture. That's not really what it is. What modern crypto has

I've played a few play 2 earn games. In my opinion the fun is not in playing the game as intended. Crypto is a highly open and composable ecosystem. The real fun is trying to figure out how to game the game. If you're the type

It's true for the blockchain game because all blockchain transactions are taxable events. If you purchase crypto from an American exchange and transfer it to your wallet, the IRS will know your address. Even if all you do is play gam

In theory, I actually like the idea of games connected to the blockchain. The issue is, now your little funtime activity has serious tax implications. Imagine this, there's a neat little space pirates game. You buy an NFT ship, you b

I guess if you have a million dollars of cash you can't move out because it's in a flagged entity, why not send it to everyone and prove a point?

Avalanche lets you natively bridge bitcoin to their network, and it lets you transact fairly cheaply (think my last transaction was $.15) and their consensus algorithm can reach finality pretty quickly. Typically around 2 seconds. But it
