I'd be interested to hear responses from among the 1.X billion unbanked people in developing countries. I think the goal of Libra is to turn this population into sticky Facebook us…

> However, I do not live in that context, I live in a society and inside my own head, and this is what generates an idea of contribution and happiness. Right. This just happens to …

Yes. I view posting on HN and seeing the response as one way to help uncover the truth for myself.

We're on a rock flying through space. In that context, what does contributing even mean?

I've noticed a recent uptick in news promoting the cruelty of China toward its citizens. I struggle to figure out how much is true, and how much is an alternate reality created by …

Yes, I get that. You're limited by the collateral you can put against the loan. But they won't accept a pinky swear that you own the collateral. They want proof.

I'm confused why somebody would claim to possess an immense fortune (Satoshi's blocks are currently worth ~$10B) without being able to verify and/or access that fortune. Congrats. …

Typically people are unbanked not because they are completely broke but because of one or more of the following: 1) They do not live near a bank 2) They don't meet some minimum thr…

Agreed. Though it seems like the consensus protocol does protect against malicious or compromised gatekeepers. It seems that by dialing up the trust in their validator nodes (to so…
