That's part of the reason why Bitcoin is seen as V1 tech that's being moved away from and other cryptocurrencies using variants of Proof of Stake (which consumes orders of magnitud…

Did robber barons have as much political power as corporations do today? This is an honest question. I'm not an expert, but my speculation is that the level of control that lobbyin…

So the ideal is to adopt an "abundance mentality", right? One where you're so confident and successful that you really don't care if any individual reaction doesn't go your way. It…

I feel for the guy, to be honest. I've been in a good relationship for years now, but I know that bitterness and resentment. If I'd made the mistake of broadcasting my honest thoug…
