It's always been a fun idea if you want to see Bitcoin succeed, i.e. you're a holder. I'd love to play a game and get paid at the same time. Winning the game and stacking hard. Maybe it'll work if it's the kind of thing where players help build assets or do marketing!

Hey no take backs!

It's purpose is what it does. It helps serves people who don't understand or prefer premine centralized database currencies. It's basically fiat that masquerades as a cryptocurrency.

A lot has changed since 2022. I think we'll be mining water there within 5 years.

I butchered that analogy like Ripple will butcher pigs.

Ripple is like the canary in the scam mines. We'll know we're safe from scams when it dies.

Good. The more it uses, the more value it can protect with the most efficient mechanism man has ever devised.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

I like him, but as a personality, not as an advisor. Perhaps a reverse JCal index would be profitable.

So much mess travel and they still can't get us off the ground on time. 🤦

Doesn't seem particularly alarming to try hundreds of keys per second on a GPU but they don't mention what kind of speedup this is due to their optimizations.

I didn't feel the rigor but I agree with the point that we need to talk to people. We breathe life into each other. I feel the phone works about as well as face to face but haven't done a study.

Randomly for acts of kindness. That or orgasm.

What does your title mean wrt your text?

I don't think the BIS is in control in the same way like the UN. Power still rests mostly with the US and the Fed. The BIS is just like the UN in the sense that it's another avenue through which the US/Fed can implement global policy.

Do you think the blame game will lead to confiscation?

Wait if you plug a hardware wallet into a laptop that laptop now owns all coins it's ever seen? Could get spicy...

Fiat pricing is ridiculously gamed. A great time to stay humble and stack sats about it

I only did German but the family plan made it feel like a team effort. It's a great start!

We're all just big kids. Nice photo!

Powerful forces at work.

Smart people can ignore convention while evaluating a new technology, especially one with the power to change everything 😉

History tells me that big innovations don't reach their most beneficial effects for centuries to decades. The pace has increased but still some things only advance as the old guard dies. We're probably going to be in the stacking phase for quite a few more years.
