I also wear this watch every day and have done for a couple of years now. It’s the perfect watch- completely autonomous time, solar powered, classic look while still having digital functions. I love not having to worry about ever setting th

I used and loved this framework years ago so happy to see it’s still thriving. I’d love to start making games with my son now he’s getting older, but I always used to hit a roadblock with the artwork. In this age of AI, can anyone recommend

Pretty baseless opinion. Julia Donaldson is an easy example but there are a lot of magical modern children's authors.

If it helps you can read 'transferring value' to 'transferring digital tokens which have value on the market', the distinction is irrelevant to the point. > Whether they have value is irrelevant as far as the technolo

I'm having an honest discussion. You have accused me of being "a gullible idiot", "pompous" and of using "marketing buzzwords" (which words?). You come across as being very emotionally attached to your neg

Ignoring the condescending tone, value is already being transferred between computer programs. Trillions of dollars per year on Ethereum alone. A lot of the volume is undeniably speculation but denying that value can be transferred on blo

You may continue to consider the numbers meaningless but the market for on-chain assets disagrees with you.

This is a strawman. The entire ecosystem does not have to be 100% decentralised. There is massive utility in a trustless, permissionless, censorship-resistant contract layer connecting disparate centralised entities. A centrally managed reg

The blockchain facilities standardised transfer across a decentralised medium. I'm not sure how much clearer I can make my point. You could code alternatives to all the use-cases mentioned, but when you have an existing platform on w

I think instead of reading what I wrote, you read "you need a blockchain to do this". The anti-blockchain narrative on here is constantly attacking the strawman of "literally everything must be decentralised". I'm a

That's great! Hey look I would like to send you the rights to my crate of wine. You're the 1000th customer to my site. Or maybe you want to trade it for your in-game weapon. Or I just like you and it's a gift, anonymous inter

I notice the commenters who agree that it seems to be biological are the ones who actually have children. I have a two year old. He was raised with gender neutral toys and due to the pandemic largely in isolation from the rest of society fo

Cashless is a dream for government because they can switch the populace to a negative interest rate.

There are paralympic swimmers with no arms or legs who can swim a length faster than me, and I'm a competent swimmer. I wouldn't worry about your foot size.

Brave attempts to create a new business model since as you rightly point out the current one is absolutely flawed. Quality content does need to be paid for, one way or another, whether you enjoy supporting it or not.

Unfortunately yes. I save mostly into a pension but also into ISA's (not taxed on gains), so that if the government moves the goalposts I can still retire at my target date and live from this until I can access my pension.
