True, but consensus on real-world ownership is a great use case for blockchain.

Did anyone else notice that the 'store of value' thesis is almost a verbatim rehash of Jim Rickards gold theories around the time of his book 'Currency Wars' (2011)?

True. The whole run up in crypto has been so closely tied to Goldman backing Coinbase's IPO that it's laughable.

Thinly traded, purely speculative markets, with very few, highly concentrated holdings, running on completely untested, largely unregulated exchanges, with no SLAs, middlemen, customer support, etc. . .

One reason why some people communicate well in group settings is that they actively listen. I myself had a big breakthrough in acting when I learned not to think about my cue, but to get into the moment and actually listen to the other acto

This is true in my experience as well. I have not seen any discussion of it, but, man, there are a lot of hawks, harriers, and, yes, bald eagles where there used to be very few.

It's true. An LP defines a concrete slice of time, defined by decisions made by the artists and the producers. That work and craft is different from the playlist creator. Also, the management of a record collection takes attention and

Reddit has zero impact on $GME volatility. If any of you were around for the 2009 shenanigans, you'll understand.

I don't doubt you. I'm sure these metrics depend on industry and company size.

Sure they do. HR metrics are all based around pipelines, just like sales people. They get measured on number of candidates interviewed, and the more candidates interviewed for a specific position the better, as it makes them appear to be do

Has there been a study on the percentage of borderline personalities or maybe just run-of-the-mill sociopaths in "Human Resources" occupations? The name kinda says it all.

These are all common points for people who are overly focused on blockchain per se (invented in 1991!) at the expense of distributed cryptography as a whole. If the writer were curious enough to look in, for example, BLS threshold crypto,

I will never forgive Netflix for letting the Scholar's Mate out of the bag. You should learn that from a parent, aunt, or uncle. It is an initiation.

The real question is whether you want a society without pilots.

Musicians should be getting closer and closer to 100% royalties as the infrastructure gets cheaper and cheaper. But, tech CEOs all like crappy music. Which is why they should never be in control of the livelihoods of creatives.
