I'm not sure what threat model this supposed "Easy Fix" is intended to address. Struggling families already keep food past supposed expiration date. If manufacturers want people to throw away food, changing the way the label

Sure. Because reactionary lawmaking is the solution to all problems.

No, the floor is unrelated to the energy put into mining. The intrinsic value of Bitcoin is the ability to facilitate financial transactions. Brinks' entire CIT vehicle business is based upon just a subset of this function, and we can

Then it's even more important that we read this blog post in the knowledge that it's the one that made it past NSA screening. We'll never know how many didn't.

I for one welcome our new autonomous corporation overlord, which would hire people via TaskRabbit to become its shareholders, and hire lawyers via emails to protect its interests. It would commission new servers on various cloud providers o

Yes, but practically, does it matter as long as the autonomous systems continue to provide sufficiently lucrative reasons for real people to sustain its operation, e.g. by continuing to mine or maintain the network under the governments&#x2

Maybe startups find it more difficult to fire okay-but-not-great employees just because they don't have that much resource to focus on hiring in this super competitive job market.

This paper highlights the only real concern I have with BitCoin over the long term: that it's possible to engage in class warfare. If you believe the socioeconomic pyramid to hold true, the middle and lower classes will always outnumbe

But why not a billion dollars? The worst that happens is someone has more than they need. And then what happens? One of two things: 1: It sits in the bank, where it's lent out for investment 2: It's spent, possibly on something optional but
