The last paragraph: "Yes, of course everyone deserves access to the Internet. But they deserve access to an open Internet where they can own their Digital Selves..." Does everyone actually deserve internet access? Is that an inali

Sure, I'm sure he thought of that, and I'm sure prices would change since there would be less money earned and therefore less money in circulation. This would also require a change in standard of living though. My point is simply that peopl

Great idea in theory, but there's a reason young people work such long hours: money. If a 22 year old graduates from college and works 25 hours a week, they won't have enough money to pay off their (almost certain) debt and live comfortably

You are exactly right that bitcoins are exactly like fiat money, and have no intrinsic value. You actually unintentionally explained what you don't understand. Fiat currency is a problem because it can be so easily manipulated by the govern

For learning to code: -You develop analytical and problem solving skills. Similar to math, but more practical (how many people really use Calculus on a daily basis?) -You understand how computers work. No explanation necessary. -All the oth
