Two reason why on BTC it doesn't. 1. Longer block times, so it is pretty rare that multiple miners are finding multiple valid consecutive blocks to compete on separate chains 2. It is against their incentives. By being apart of the los

I mean first off that is only in comparison to a dosage schedule of the reverse amount. I'm just arguing that it would make more sense to start at 80-110-140-170 etc because below that is placebo.

75-125 is an actual trip. Anything less than that you're not going to get the full psychedelic experience. We can debate the effects of microdosing, but 100-150ug has been a gold standard for decades for a reason.

Everyone is saying meditation etc, I would disagree. A major part is the ability to put this experience in motion/action which I find counterintuitive to meditation. Quite frankly no, I do not think it is replicable to be able to turn

It doesn't, exchange data is heavily manipulated in order to game certain resources like coinmarketcap, coingecko etc. I would agree tether is more but nowhere close to as described. Dividing by a factor of 10 wouldn't even be eno

I mean I feel like "need" is a bad choice, when the point is that it can be a lot better. I didn't need Venmo to send money to friends, but it is quite clearly better than pre-existing options. Also there are plenty of shitty

Same argument for Bitcoin, cash etc. You have a thousand degrees of slippery slope in what constitutes "enable". Does paying your workers in cash for tips enable tax evasion? Also, I'm not sure what scenario in which you woul
