One of the great frustrations in these debates, is the tendency to criticize a messenger who sees a cynical system. Instead of blaming the system for being cynical. Sometimes the m…

I would also suggest that bad faith is contagious. Once bad faith enters, the incentives are such that everyone acts in bad faith in short time. ('Well if he's lying, then I'm forc…

I think it's a little too soon to announce failure here. The aesthetic performance 'Bitcoin is a currency', is probably not the essential goal. The essential goal may very well be …

That's the brochure description. The evidence would suggest that this is a run of the mill cryto ponzi.

I truly don't see what happened in his administration that was unusually awful. (and I didn't vote for him) Given the constant hyperbole on matter, and now, in the aftermath, I thi…

Financial 'innovations' are increasingly rhetorical. Investors are seemingly being asked to bet on whether the humans can tell a rose by another name.

Lol, thank you very much for telling me. I find that I get shadow banned and outright banned on every social media site and forum. I genuinely don't understand why. It's usually fo…

Imo, it's a flaw in our model. If 'fighting them' failed, then, we should join them. Here, that would mean participation in the ipo, in the style of gamestop. Push the p/e ratio to…

Thank-you. Candidly, I think 'no car' is what we should be promoting. I got rid of mine earlier in the year. I may find out this plan is wishful thinking. We'll see.

I'm very skeptical that these technologies will be more efficient than incumbent solutions. These products seem to be designed to comport with well intended political goals, rather…

Hurricane proof windows are fantastic. I install them in all my homes.

That's the same thing as pricing in dollars. If you haven't noticed, Bitcoin is as valuable as the usd/btc pair. It's why every bitcoiner knows what the price of Bitcoin is every d…

They'll successfully cut the liquidity. People aren't going to be able to ach/swift any substantial amount, and Irl exchanges will be dangerous and subject to theft. The government…

There was once a time in America, when this was a marginalized group.

Great piece. Really liking Stephen's content lately.

Because proclaiming oneself 'self made' is immoral. There's no roi on that story anymore. Imo, that's kinda dumb. But, such is the fashion .

I think it's safe to assume that we're seeing a post-hoc rationalization here in our commenter. The commenter has tasked themselves with discrediting the author. So, the commenter …

Did you learn that 'the implementation is the spec' ? (Does that mean Bitcoin is fiat?)

Agreed. I would add that 'Intellectual property' is mostly postmodern nonsense. No different than calling our bits 'Digital Gold' and proceeding to construct legislation based on t…

You can read 'extraordinary popular delusions and the madness of crowds', or look into the Albanian civil war of '97. History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme

Read 'A random walk down wall street' and 'the millionaire next door'

Code is law. Lol.

Contemporary social policy as a whole appears to be a cycle of reaction and hysteria. There's very little substance to this process, in the form of empiricism or evidenced-based fe…

Eventually the us government will decide what codebase is valid. And exchanges will immediately switch to that codebase. Probably that codebase will support kyc and whitelist/black…

I was sympathetic to this ethos, until parler was taken off the internet. Youtube is probably monetizing what would otherwise be public utilities. If its not a right, then maybe th…
