We've been indoctrinated our whole lives to believe that "property" is somehow fair, rational, real, etc. Plenty of room for cognitive dissonance here.

Another very strong SELL signal for anyone holding crypto. I sold when that Beeple art sold for $6m.

This article is epistemological garbage. There's nothing more "strange" about "complex numbers" than any other mathematical construction. It's no surprise that they help "describe …

Maybe, but the same is true of money, stocks, etc. Attributing insane value to essentially worthless things is a major foundation of the economy.

>did that person actually earn that money, or just win it from the Bitcoin slot machine? Adults actually believe that people "earn" money? smh.

So wait it's not run on hard work, innovation, and freedom?

Pretty sure central banks have never intentionally or significantly "contracted" their pyramid schemes. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/051315/what-...

It depends on whether your stocks are being propped up or whether your unlivable wage is being devalued or whether you care about unsustainable pyramid schemes.

Solid bait. It would have helped to mention AI. 4/5 stars.

... and unnecessary middlemen playing casino with human lives (aka health insurers) don't extract a huge payday.

>The voices also included white supremacists and neo-fascists. NYTimes never misses a chance to promote these people.

This article might've been interesting 5 years ago. Why is HN so obsessed with bitcoin over every other crypto? It's like people are still arguing about DOS.

>slow, costly and doesn’t solve real-word problems of identity verification, trust, reversible transactions, private transactions etc etc. I strongly recommend researching cryptogr…

They're talking more generally about cryptographic protocols which have advanced far beyond bitcoin.

> pumping a silly cryptocurrency joke called Dogecoin The irony is thick in this Tesla article.

If you really want to impress me, clearly define "artificial intelligence" (as opposed to statistics, data analysis, etc) and tell me the most impressive example.

In fairness it would've been hard to imagine the current level of hype about data analysis.

"Banana republics" are also the poor robbed of their possessions and freedom by the same unjust system on a global level.

Pure math is an inconvenient subject for schools based on reproducing the status quo.
