It's not only about stats/data, but also the user experience. Many web pages have many more ads, videos, gifs, and clutter than they did before. There's also more spam and more low-quality content. That makes finding the info

It's too early for anyone to say whether this concern is a real problem, but here are a few points that you should analyze further: 1) ASICs. In the early days of Bitcoin, one of the biggest concerns was: "Now that computational p

Nobody knows how many dollars are still in circulation. They have good guesses, but nobody knows about the millions in cash that was lost/burned/buried in the desert. It doesn't matter. Supply and demand doesn't rely on

Excellent point. 5 years ago, bitcoin didn't exist. It has come a long way and it has been a long time in Internet Time. Amazon launched in 1994 but it hasn't been very long in Retail Time.
