  • Yes, we obviously have different definition of security, as you imagine at being ‘outside the traditional banks’, not ‘guaranteed to be at your disposal and accepted by the rest of the world’.

    Bitcoin is just one crypto, which is still being developed, and if you think CrowdStrike is an argument against thousands of banks versus one git repo, I have a bridge to sell to you.

    It gets really exhausting talking to people with minimum technical knowledge at best about this stuff. 51% attacks have been done in the past, acting like it’s not possible is just plain stupid.

    PoW is a huge energy black hole with nothing to show for it.

    Bitcoin by itself has done very little for the general public, its biggest achievement was spawning other coins, which was the idea from the start. BTC should have died a decade ago.

    Crypto is and should remain a niche past time for some techical folk, once big money goes in, it will kill the retail (non-business) users. Big players will make (or already made) PoW and PoS irrelevant for basic users. At least stop them from killing the planet.









  • Yes, Bernie has been my pick since forever, he’s the backbone of progressiveness in the US politics.

    And I do believe he is an honest man, if not always absolutely on top of every topic (like the nuclear closure).

    Politics may be a popularity contest, but personally I felt like Hillary got more votes because she wasn’t Trump. But I believe anyone else would have gotten more votes than her.

    I firmly hope Kamala will energize voters even more than Biden, even though her 2020 candidacy wasn’t very convincing.

    Hillary wasn’t acting just like she was going to win, she had that demeanor of ‘of course I win, what else could ever happen’, and that made her even less likeable.

    The whole email thing was absolute BS though, and I can’t believe people hopped on that train.
