    Correct, but you only have to trust a centralized company within your own country. You don't have to trust a bank or money transmitter in a foreign country. In the case of people i…

    Your argument against crypto is one of the more compelling I've read. I like the "deep local optimum" visual you painted. I definitely agree if you're comparing "crypto" directly t…

    My farm consists mainly of rx 580 graphic cards. Due to depressed markets, my returns are just okay right now. Luckily my equipment has been paid off since December. To put things …

    I know HN is rather negative toward cryptocurrency in general, but for me it's fun. I run a small mining farm in my basement. It keeps my sysadmin skills sharp and more than pays m…

    Thanks for posting this! I'm always interested in other people's experience with anxiety. I'm slightly jealous yours has an origin story though. I've been anxious for as long as I …

    I get what you're saying, but your math is a bit misleading. As far as I know, the missing 4m are a subset of the 16m already mined. That still leaves ~5m to be acquired in the fut…
