That’s not how logic works. The GP is applying the precautionary principle: when there’s even a small chance of a catastrophic risk, it makes sense to take precautions-like restricting who can build superintelligent AI, similar to how we re

Rightfully = Solitary detention for 9 days... without a set date for said deportation 20 days later, making it an indefinite detention? Seems like the USA has very low standards for what's "right" these days.

You were discussing "structural" inflation, referring to Bitcoin as a system, not relative to inflation of goods and services in a specific economy. These are two distinct economic phenomena that can influence each other but shoul

It is structurally disinflationary, not just deflationary. Bitcoin is still emitted every ~10 minutes with currently an average inflation rate just under 1% of its supply per year. The "massive risk" the IMF sees is that without c

This sounds a lot like a sales pitch by Ledger, is the next service you are going to sell me involving me sending my seed, online, to Ledger so it can be sent to 3 third parties... because that is what made so many people laugh at them last

I'll add that if gold wasn't so impractical to transfer, store and verify we would most likely still be using it as a currency way more frequently (even in our inflatuonist systems, it would likely be seen as a more sound money).

Have a look at the daily volume of trading for Bitcoin, these financial tools are a very small part of this... we are talking $50-100 billions daily. It does contribute, but in terms of scale way less than what you seem to suggest... arguab

Sure, but as I said, if they come after Bitcoin, it's a good time to worry about a lot of freedoms your governments are supposed to protect/afford you... it could be seen as the canary in the mine in that regard.
