Hopefully there will be consequences for him abusing the legal system in the way he has.

I hadn't heard that one before. I like it! Nice article.

Trying to better under the origins of a global pandemic is not an inconsequential endeavor.

Not so sure your analogy works here. Aren't containment buildings meant to protect the area where the reactors are? I think the closer analogy would be saying the US needed to tap …

Your argument seems to be that energy use that doesn't benefit you is wrong. I would be surprised if the idea of telling purchasers of energy what they can do with it, or computers…

PoW incentivizes renewable energy development. It's certainly not rolling it back. It used to also incentivize GPU production, but as of today that has been diminished as well. Ins…

Or you can memorize 12 words. Not saying this should be the common practice or that everyone should do it, but having the ability to store your wealth in your mind is useful.

Patently obvious? I think there are multiple plausible explanations. Building things people want gives credibility. I find it more bizarre people have such passionate anger towards…

Amazing book. I think the concepts around the whole Uplift trilogy are great. The first one was a little tough for me to get through, but the next two are among my all time favorit…

Decentralization and censorship resistance matter very much to the people who want bitcoin to succeed and become the native currency of the internet and the world, as does a nearly…

The bond market is over 100 trillion. Why would people buy bonds returning low fixed interest rates in depreciating currencies if bitcoin with a fixed total supply becomes the glob…

This is only true if you don't think Bitcoin is solving an important problem. For me, I think it is solving arguably the most important problem. That being said, even if I think cl…

Sorry, I am not sure I completely understand your argument. You expect the energy used for Tesla cars to more easily migrate to greener energy? Bitcoin mining is completely locatio…
