No, you don't simply "move to a new coin". ETH is currently a 420B market cap and rewards GPU miners something on the order of 13,000 ETH a day conservatively (without fees). That's nearly 50m dollars a day or 1.5B dol

I wonder much of this is caused by recent installments of agricultural field drainage tile? Land price increases allow for more farmers to afford to "improve" their farmland by adding underground pipes that quickly wick standing w

Bitcoin is "bad for the planet". 0 percent interest rates are worse. It's the lesser of evils.

What about 0 percent interest rates? How much environmentally damaging malinvestment across the globe has been caused by risk free money? Think of how carbon intensive the concrete, steel, manufacturing, power generation industry are. Not

No one is paying bills right now due to COVID relief. Q4 alone saw $32B of missed student loan, $7B in missed rent and $14B of missed mortgage payments. Pent up roaring 20's demand and hyperinflation?

We need underwater, seaborne, or subsurface nuclear power plants. Radiation release is contained to within the largest stratum available on the Earth: ocean and rock. Anything avoiding our thin atmosphere is a win.

Give me rock solid and cheaper 4G before jumping the gun to 5G. How will going from say 40mbps to 250mbps+ on a phone help me in any way over the next 2 years? For video, the limits of a phone display cap the max bitrate below 5G's sp

TSMC is the center of the universe for chip fab. AMD, NVidia, Qualcomm, and Apple all rely on their manufacturing. Doesn't this create a systemic risk especially with Taiwan's ties to China?

Your logic is flawed in that shares aren't simply "destroyed" they have to be bought back on the open market at an agreed upon price from a willing seller. The sellers of the shares may not want to sell and will therefore re

Sure in a perfect world you decide to sell 1 share to Apple. The share price increases to account to for the lost share and market cap stays same. In reality, enormous swaths of shares are held by index tracking funds and everyday invest

Don't forget the non-emotional constant demand for Apple shares caused by stock buybacks combined with a 7% weight in the S&P 500. Every new dollar invested in an index tracking ETF/mutual fund needs to buy 7c worth of Apple

Perhaps this was intentionally vague requiring clarification by WH? Everyone tonight learned how much of our media is owned by Tencent.

Huge implications if this is true and WeChat has already locked down money transfers. How could you get it out? Bitcoin?
