Hi Greg, > For all you know they recycled received funds back out in their crowd sale and bought multiple times. Actually we know that they didn’t and so do you, because the funds …

Thank you for looking out for my financial well-being, internet stranger

Describing a public crowdsale as a premine is unethical.

That could be true, but it’s still a good measure of IQ. This “cultural” angle is a narrative that started from criticisms of SAT vocab tests and critics of IQ tests latched onto i…

How does the official 3.5% figure compare to your personal experience of the actual difference in price for a given item from last year?

Nobody argues it doesn’t exist, the take is always “there is a normal amount of inflation right now and it is good for the economy anyway”

You can learn to identify literal paid shills by their consistent messaging across distinct forums/media and use of certain rhetorical tactics. For certain subject matters it is pr…

Can’t tell if satire. Have you been to the grocery store lately?

I wonder if the “there is no inflation” shills will show up with their usual ad hominems and “trust the experts”

Is it ever acceptable to tell someone they aren’t cut out to be a founder? I feel we are responsible for making “startup founder” so sexy that people feel unfulfilled if they can’t…

IRS wants to pay for hardware wallet bug bounties? I’m ok with this.

> But those engineers determined that their fix would only successfully transition the helicopter into flight mode 85% of the time. So Thursday's attempt may have fallen into the 1…

So? Did anyone claim that it does? How is provenance for physical works tracked? It’s just using a database with a nice composable public API. People are excited because you can us…

The difference would be the artist’s agreement you just mentioned

> I see no value > I still think it would be cool to own one Cool enough to pay more than $0? Perhaps there could be an NFT so cool-to-own for you that you would VALUE it at $1?
