Just curious if you’ve any anecdotes about behavior of nouveau generation. While not a parent myself I’ve heard many times from parent and youth peers that the new generations are entirely lacking IRL social skills, instead deferring their

Internet connected the world, and changed how we interact fundamentally. Blockchain uses the internet to create politically resistant money as a primary use case. Just not seeing how blockchain fits into any ongoing revolution, in part be

Sadly, such tools tend to be used also by bad actors. One of sound principle surely supports folks defending themselves against genuine oppression, yet I question the net effect of commoditizing what was once the domain of cypherpunks and

It would be quite different if they reduced speed without a need to control battery expenditure. Planned obsolescence is a benefit to future sales, but seems this is a technical requirement to work around limitations of batteries. Transpar

First, check if old person really does want to grind hard on coding. If not, there could be issues that came up or accumulated over time. Burnout is most likely example - how many humans do well staring at code for decades? Not all program

We’ve come a long way from the 2007 study by Italian nuns on the connection between stress and disease. You know, which I read about at the job I started on March 15th (ref: HELen).

This thread helps confirm my long term desire to self terminate. I didn’t have much insight into how a bpd looks from both sides but it’s clear to me that having a psychiatric disorder can put someone in a whole different universe from oth

Reading this thread is very disheartening. BPD symptoms are so common, and probably possible to see from afar, for instance the lone wolf who got picked on in school probably has better than average chance of eventually developing such sym

Who is Julia? Just curious. Thanks for sharing your perspective and following up with the other poster in detail.

You believe housing will fall in fiat? So a $1MM home will be $900k, etc? What’s btc have to do with this? Why would housing go down in fiat if bitcoin is going up in fiat? Is anyone pricing housing indexes in bitcoin? You could maybe co

He already said it wasn’t his and that he didn’t know how it was hidden in his car. Whether under duress or not, the authorities aren’t giving the money back as a result. Such proof is now needed.

He needs an indisputable paper trail showing that the money was his. That’s a lot of cash and there’s little reason to keep all of your legitimate fiat savings in cash like that.

I’m convinced people are searching for it. I’m convinced there’s a huge nouveau academic interest in this area. This just helps to estimate likelihood of bitcoin’s longevity. Yes, precisely, you always need buyers to push price further. Ma

There’s a difference between scolding energy usage and pointing out that the design itself, even if efficiency of that design is increased, is what leads to this spiraling energy expenditure that powers massive computational hashing power o

1) Yes, and bitcoin isn’t the only player in town. 2) It’s not assured that major breakthroughs will occur within the bitcoin ecosystem, nor that they will fold back into it. I’m pretty familiar with bitcoin’s current technology development

1) So, a worldwide payment solution requires a spaceship, but we have first generation mainframes currently. Bitcoin is the biggest of those mainframes, uses the most energy, etc. 2) You touched upon two independent considerations. Yes, bi

Yes, early computer pioneers also engaged in groundbreaking work. A huge mainframe filled with vacuum tubes seems to fit here. That’s bitcoin, currently, but for “magic internet money”. The bandwidth, throughout, and power utilization are

What you’ve done here is offer a detailed technical explanation and then thrown in something about deflating a debt bubble, without actually connecting them. I’m all for the technology, but the technology itself doesn’t solve any systemic f

Depending on what market makers are up to, this will work or won’t. Trend would be towards eventually not working if it does at all. Difficult to say how liquidity differences will affect ability of your strat to work.

If later comers took more capital risk, in what way did they take less risk, exactly? The semantics matter here. Perhaps the later comers were more opportunistic and optimistic about the likelihood of achieving a favorable return. But they

If that occurs, that’s your long term buy signal, right at the moment when it seems like nobody wants it anymore from having fallen so far and hard.

No, the previous poster said the earliest adopters take the most risk. In actuality, whoever pays the most for their btc takes the most risk. Early adopters invested almost nothing compared to the amount of money moving around now (at risk

One has to be very thorough when reviewing the details of such investigations. For instance, we would want to look at details regarding the experimenter’s cable tv service. If it’s digital perhaps the viewing data was resold to fb. At the

Risk is defined by what can be lost. If you bought a $200 video card early on and spent $200 on electricity mining than your risk was $400. Contrarily someone right now buying a single bitcoin is going to be risking a lot more than just tha

This is not good advice. You can’t predict how much we will drop next time on stocks and how the VIX may be affected. We are in a long term contracted state of volatility. Professionals who understand how to manage risk may make the trade(

I disagree with your feelings about the anecdotes given there is an official account that’s more likely. Why would fb come out officially saying no, knowing they’ll be uncovered eventually if the answer ever were yes? Also, your techniques

Interesting, curious to hear more. What techniques are you referring to? Some re-appropriation of mobile hardware for cross sensory applications? Data sharing of some kind?
