In 2025 the word "mean" no longer means "average", it apparently means "median". Amazing!
I mean if "literally" can mean "figuratively", why not?

#52READ CLOSELY: I don't think it's possible to travel to the past, but I've figured out how to travel 1 hour into the future. It works 100% of the time. Here are the instructions: 1. Visit https://news.ycombinator.com/news
I find this works better: https://news.ycombinator.com/newest
Actually, I prefer 15 minutes trips, so https://hckrnews.com/

#53This is from a time when we thought Bitcoin would be the only cryptocurrency.
In the meantime the core devs have spend countless hours on twitter arguing with trolls and there are a dozen or so new blockchains with better features and covering different use cases.

I'm not sure whether you're trolling or whether you truly don't understand the issue here, but your hostility is not only rude, it makes for an incredibly boring thread.
I'm sorry if I came across as hostile or rude. I genuinely feel that using decimals as digit separators is distracting and technically wrong when you're writing English. Full disclosure since some people are assuming I'm an American imperialist: I am not an American, nor have I ever been to America.
>if I came across as hostile or rude
How did you think you would come across, if you call someone "insane" and the behaviour of others "fucking stupid"?

#55Will bitcoin worths $100.000 on 2019? I mean, seriously.
Why not? Why is my 50 cent investment in a wallet years ago suddenly worth 28 bucks?
That's probably the wrong question. The right question is along the lines of: What makes you think that simply buying something such as Bitcoin at a particular "time" would lead you to becoming rich? Is there any basis in history for such an idea? The answer is a resounding "no"--at least not on the mass scale that we are experiencing right now.
I have a friend who believes he is an Ethereum "multi-millionaiare." I keep telling him he's full of shit but he won't listen! There is no other explanation that this is a mania because in the past whereas some handful of people got rich through lucky market timing or inside information, there is no point in history where millions of people got rich by just buying a currency (or in this case, a pseudo-currency).
Best of luck, though.

#57I suggest the next time traveller to prove being from the future by showing us the next 1000+ block hashes for the Bitcoin blockchain then...
Even if they show you, you'll never know until that block is mined. They could, however, show us something that happened today (a scandal or something) with the use of Bitcoin. In other words, bribery of elected officials or something similar. Perhaps related to the relentless attempts to repeal net neutrality? - Or maybe the outcome of a near-future vote in Congress.

These sort of arguments seem to solidify the notion that time-travel is not possible in the current setup of the universe.
Time-travel is absolutely possible, as long as it is always in the forward direction and at a (relatively) constant pace.

Time traveling backwards is not possible. Time Traveling forward happens the faster you move. Satellites have to compensate for the fact that time is different the faster you go.
I have always wondered, when satellites have to have their clocks compensated, is it that they are experiencing time differently, but are still in present time?
To rephrase it, how does one know they are not in "now" but the past? apart from maybe measuring ages of their counterparts etc.

#60Fake: where's the mention of discovering p=np and all the current assets locked in Bitcoin disappearing in an instant?
