fwiw the X220 does not support Libreboot, but the X200 does.

Concrete Mathematics by Knuth was designed with your needs in mind, and has essentially become the canonical "math for cs" text. I haven't read more than the preface plus a few pages though, so I can't comment further on

Have you looked into any other DAG tech, besides IOTA? ByteBall and Raiblocks are excellent, functional and mature examples in my opinion that lack IOTA's downsides (likely because they are intended primarily for p2p payments, not IOTA

>The supply inflates every 10 minutes, this by definition is inflation. Precisely, I see BTC being called deflationary all the time, when really it's just not exponentially inflationary, but logarithmically.

What was once friendly enthusiasm has become hard lines and jagged edges with organized shilling campaigns from all sides. It's quite off putting as someone who spends a lot of time in these communities. It's hard to even ask tech

I love ByteBall, but also likely the required crypto intelligence. But AFAIK they are a relatively mature DAG tech, with oracles and smart contracts already working (P2P UFC betting being a relatively popular example). XRB is another promis

Do you feel all crypto projects are included in the bubble you described? Personally, I think many are extremely overbought (BTC, LTC, ETH, etc) but can't help but feel that those with real utility and industry value are (relatively)

While I agree that BTC and ETH are likely lowest risk long term, I'm not exactly throwing money at crypto for the low risk portion of my portfolio and don't mind doubling down on a more dangerous gamble since I've researched

Many here insist it's a speculative bubble. And while I might agree that perhaps BTC is in such a state (this may extend toward LTC, ETH, etc), I'm curious to know your thoughts on the less popular and lower market cap "alt-c

The tech is identical, it's simply used less than BTC so doesn't face the same stress of scaling.

I think something similar but for musical artist could be very fun. Betting on the next 'big band' sounds like a good time.
