Bitcoin does not fall under the definition of a ponzi scheme. And in general, there's no reason why a ponzi scheme couldn't have an open spec. If the incentive structure sounds appealing then people will participate even when they

Async/await isn't exactly a fad that is going away anytime soon. If refusing to refactor outdated pieces of code is your idea of "fun" then I feel sorry for your coworkers.

Your recent comment, but with the examples switched to crypto-related things, is an amusingly apt description of your post. >HN is getting full of people with some serious chips on their shoulder. Any article with the words "cryptoc

Also a handy way to remember the modes in order is the mnemonic "I don't particularly like modes a lot". It stands for Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian.

This could result in the common misconception that market cap is equal to the influx of money into an asset. E.g. market cap increasing by 5bil doesn't mean that 5 billion worth of currency was invested into it.
