Ethereum is easy to change (hard forks often) and so cannot be expected to preserve any key characteristics like emission curve or even the permissionless nature. In fact, Ethereum…

Incorrect, Ethereum is still using PoW.

I don't give a shit about Wired categorization. MobileCoin is a company. It has a fucking CEO. Cryptocurrency is by definition decentralized.

MobileCoin is not a cryptocurrency.

How about helping competition to beat FAANG network effects by deregulating everything? Increasingly, "more regulation" seems to be the go-to solution for any and all societal prob…

Good.

You seem to have a very US centric view. There are other 7.5 billion people in the World.

"Temporarily" like a f**cking YEAR. Some business owners committed suicide over this, so I guess its safe to say permanent for them at least.

"Temporary"? It's been A YEAR and tens of thousands of businesses and families going bankrupt. And there is no end in sight to this.

Please help me understand. Say Monica runs a clothing shop and sells clothes (including face masks and sun glasses) to people she suspects are drug dealers. And we are not talking …

In my country running a sports gym, a restaurant or a hotel is illegal. So yeah, I won't be surprised if Bitcoin will suddenly become illegal. Literally everything is becoming ille…

Ban people from saying this!! :D

You are right in the short term. Most governments will fiercely fight Bitcoin and all true cryptocurrencies. In the long term though, it is inevitable, like all technological progr…

I say ban everything, the sooner the better.

You are absolutely right but it gets even worse. The KYC bullshit is on the brink to spill over to non financial services, like messaging apps, hosting, email, and what not.

Agree, we did similar with Elixir/Phoenix in my past company. Obviously, the services will still be necessary where Elixir simply isn't the right tool for the job like machine lear…

Cardano is still being ran by the company/foundation behind it. It is yet to transition to actual PoS.

So far Bitcoin mining is getting increasingly decentralized in practice - from China to Iran to US to Venezuela.
