> DeFi on Ethereum is replicating the existing financial system, so by criticizing this, you're essentially also criticizing the legacy financial system. Checkmate nOcOiNeRs. If yo…

This is true. I did write that hastily, and therefore mis-used ad-hominem.

Ugh. The mind of a narcissist on full display here. Want to have a comfortable position with decent growth opportunities over time, and fair compensation? You must be some bottom-f…

Glad that moronic speculation is over with. On to the next one!

Well that was a pile of hot garbage. "Blockchain groups now exist at every major university in the world and the number of people who own some kind of crypto digital asset continue…

I think you just have a lot of pot shots to take against Tesla (most of which seem to have no precedent??), and want to project them onto this situation. This story relates to an i…

And they shouldn't. News should not be determined by its shareholders. The idea that such privileges should be able to be purchased is so incomprehensibly stupid, I'm at a loss for…

>That's not an argument against building something... At which point did I argue building things is bad? I actually took a lot of time to learn Ethereum smart contract development …

There's a fair point to be made there. But then I would ask which solution is best: lobbying hard enough to democratize the organizational structure of ICANN, creating a competitiv…

Banks are doing this from a perspective of risk management. But I will bet any number of Bitcoin that crypto nerds will construe this as a narrative that the big banks are attackin…

Open source contributions do not cover even scratch the surface of depth needed to be a software developer. Oh, you resolved that issue in a related repo? That's awesome. Now, for …

Design work is extremely different from developer work. Design work is usually publicly available, and each piece often stands on its own. Paid developer work is usually not public…

It's rank 726 on Alexa ranks. Somehow I find it hard to believe that of the 725 more popular websites than AskFM, only 9 are social networks.

So, while I usually agree blockchain/crypto ecosystem is the most degenerate thing since Vista, it's worth being a little objective here. These were not four crypto nerds travellin…

>IBM controlled powerful segments of the market, and would defend or compete by buying technology. Right, but IBM used to comprise almost the entire hardware and software market. O…

Although it doesn't relate to the acquisitions, I'd definitely agree, that's anti-competitive behaviour. Was not aware of that policy.

Woops. Yep. It's hard to keep track of all these billion dollar Facebook acquisitions.
