Strange place for you to force a Hillary mention. If you'd read the article you'd understand that if you want to politicize this you can start with Trump: > Israel had paused the s…

Good to know. Can you explain the difference between a permissionless transaction and the economic theory of supply and demand?

> Every "permissionless transaction" is an action of supplying and demanding. Of course it's not, it's simply a transaction; it doesn't need to be between two separate parties. I d…

Why isn't "the operator of the scheme" synonymous with "the central actor?" Either: 1. I'm trying to dodge the label "Ponzi scheme" for a reason you haven't provided (maybe you thi…

Then you didn't look at wikipedia which mentions "the con artist" and "the operator of the scheme" several times. If you're having to google the definition of the term maybe there'…

The font-size on HN is barely readable, I'm working on an accessible skin for the HN frontend that addresses this. I'm targeting WCAG 2.0. Keep an eye out for the "Show HN" coming …
