Why do games have to use so much electricity? They should be fine with a few kb of storage and maybe some minimal networking. Back in the day games were completely fine and playabl…

You may be misreading the effects - Bitcoin is trading above what it traded yesterday, and 50% higher than october.

You highlight a bunch of examples where government policy/implementation has failed miserably in the backdrop of higher and higher demand from it. I wonder how far this needs to st…

It makes perfect sense. McDonalds did something unconventional and apparently popular. People that found that valuable send the strongest signal you can send in an economy - money.…

"Karen" Context: "This term is used to ridicule or demean a certain group of people based on their behaviors." Consider using: "demanding or entitled White woman" This example is t…

Alternatives: - Crypto is being used and abused by people and purposes that don't need it. - Fundamental practices haven't matured yet.

This was a failure of traditional financial institutions and people who are ok with them, not of crypto. Satoshi wouldn't be encouraging people to put their coins on a trusted thir…

It's an open hiring board. Who is going to fairly judge the openings without falling into some sort of bias? Actually I can barely find any crypto posts on the hiring threads. Mayb…

Speaking personally, they might be concise and precise but the arguments are nothing new and too often have simple counter arguments. That's the reason they're not addressed, there…

> Owns enough to influence the market Meaning acquiring it fairly from the market? As compared to fiat currencies, which can be issued and moved around with the snap of a finger. T…

Consuming energy is a requirement for it to provide its stated benefits. If you're able to conjure the protocol which doesn't require PoW and still maintains the characteristics, y…

Why would people accept bitcoin IOUs when the real thing is more interoperable, saleable, private etc.etc. and of course doesn't require trust in the issuer. The answer is force [0…

Bitcoin continues to inflate until ~2140. The difference is that it inflates in a predictable curve and is not subject to the decisions of central bankers. Inflationary policies al…

I assume by "Monetary crank-ism" you mean scepticism of the dominant economic playbooks. That is very different from investment bubbles which the parent is talking about. You can c…

Sorry I actually meant to link that Opensea page but then forgot. If you look at the bottom of that page [1], you'll see the events recorded by opensea. Also enable "Listing" in th…

The conceptions of what happened is so completely removed from reality and it's disheartening to see commenters blinded by the hate for crypto stuff to the extent that they don't e…

This almost reads like satire. Banks and credit card companies are exactly not neutral , this is perhaps the only widely understood reason Blockchains and cryptocurrencies exist. W…

Is there anything really inherent in Austrian economics about ignoring evidence? Hate to be that guy (source???), but this doesn't match up at all with my impression of the differe…

Where is it illegal to exchange assets p2p? Or better yet, what is the enforcement history?

Most look like they have something to do with copyright and disagreements rather than controversy.

> Instead you have hyperdeflation. Wonderful. How and where? At worst, it's gradual and predictable. Where is the central planning of the bitcoin supply? Hyperinflation on the othe…
