Picture shared in a random group I am part of. Allegedly, this would be the menu in a Chinese restaurant in Canada, and how the price has evolved over a 4-year period of time.

Lesson: buying Ginger Beef 4 years ago would have been the perfect hedge against inflation~~

Did you ever read Cryptoeconomics:Fundamental Principles of Bitcoin, by Eric Voskuil and James Chiang?

This message is specifically directed to @denlillaapan, but anyone else, please chime in.

@Scoresby has been citing it in their posts. I’ve read it. It’s the one Bitcoin book @BitcoinErrorLog says is worth reading. Someone was doing a series where they’d summarize each chapter on SN at one point.

Yes, I've read it some years ago. Is one of the best bitcoin books.

Do you know much about the authors? I can't believe I have never heard of them. Very smart, talented guys. I'm amazed. I just started the book. I'm going to take my time and enjoy it.

241 sats \ 2 replies \ @Scoresby 2 Feb

Voskuill maintains libbitcoin (the first alternate implementation of bitcoin, which he and Amir Taaki started back in 2011).

Cryptoeconomics is Voskuill's work on the incentives around the tech Satoshi created. It's not so much a book to read through as a graph of ideas in bitcoin. Voskuill recommends "reading the topics as they were written, as a curiosity."

It is certainly the most thoughtful book I've ever read on bitcoin, and the most challenging -- in that some of his conclusions feel very counterintuitive.

Also, I strongly recommend reading the github version rather than printed.

Thanks for your insight. I started reading about an hour ago and it's pretty compelling. I'm sure I'll get lost when it gets technical.

62 sats \ 0 replies \ @Scoresby 2 Feb

I don't think you will get lost. None of it is technical in the software/code sense.

Voskuill does a nice job of linking to relevant terms and articles on the internet.

It's best in small doses, with lots of time to think.

Nope. Don't know of it... Give me a quick rundown?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @siggy47 2 Feb

I don't know much. I know the authors are bitcoin devs from 2013. I just started reading the forward, and I can see the book probably centers on the crypto anarchy origins like the Genesis Book, with a heavy dose of Austrian economics. Someone on SN mentioned it a while back. Here's a link.

CCs are a "buffer" for sats. From my experience I always get more sats in the end and CCs are just smoothing out the edges. So this works ok imo.

Other then the UI/UX and the poor experience/communication when learning about them, I agree. Meaning, the solution is good but the experience of realizing that is poor.

I think at this point the experience is ok enough and there are more important things to focus on that could be more fun and exciting for people using it :)

Morning questions from my daughter: Do whales yawn?

42 sats \ 1 reply \ @Scroogey 2 Feb

Q: Do marine mammals, such as whales, dolphins and seals, yawn? And if so, why?

Pretty much all vertebrates yawn, says Rachel Metz, a curator at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. Among marine mammals, pinnipeds, such as seals, do—but cetaceans, such as whales and dolphins, do not. They differ from other mammals in that they breathe through blowholes instead of noses or mouths, and they are conscious breathers, meaning they have to remember to breathe, even while sleeping. As for why mammals yawn, scientists still aren’t sure why—it could be sleepiness, boredom, a need to oxygenate the brain or some other cause.
