Ever heard of astroturfing/cyber shills/paid trolls? On top of that, you have people who suffer of cognitive dissonance every time they hear about Bitcoin and what it fixes. They are too mentally and economically invested in the s

I doubt you can fix today's devs' code, unless it's a very very junior dev. It's like saying a doctor should be able to fix a chemist's work.

What do chargebacks have to do with a currency? Chargebacks is something offered by services built on top of the currency, not the currency itself. Else tell me how to chargeback USD bills. If you think chargebacks are the most important th

How is that law morally wrong? Couldn't they forcing you to breathe smoke be seen as an aggression? The same way they blasting you with very loud noise would be an aggression. Just because it's invisible or not solid it doesn'

Ah, the good old "if no one uses it as a currency it will die, so you have to spend it!" argument. The answer is that we are using it: as a store of value. But every time we explain this, detractors will invariably reply either

I chose Git over Mercurial because Linus made it, not because of some hosting startup that can be pwned by random guy with no previous experience in hacking.

Correct me if I'm wrong bu blackholes are compressed matter. They are typically formed by a star that collapses on itself, so they are always very small in comparison. That's why I couldn't believe it when I found out there w

Ethereum is a scam. Its author received millions of USD in funding, and after a year the only things he has delivered are blog posts that are mostly just PoS propaganda. PoS is a flawed concept, but its proponents dismiss all criticism by s
