Agreed but most people outside this space wouldn't understand that, I think, at least not in any way that is meaningful to them, but a bank account that can't be seized is other thing altogether.

The “no intrinsic value” argument couldn’t even hold water when BTC was under a dollar. Money that can’t be controlled by a single entity is the most intrinsically valuable characteristic an economy can

Man! I used to love the Cracked podcast. I think Alex Schmidt has a very unique personality, kind of down home with a never exposed, but seemingly omnipresent underlying boyish mischief. For instance,

I think you’re correct. If Satoshi was known xhe would be under constant attack if not outright murdered and publicly dragged through the mud. Code can’t be slandered in the same way since it can be updated.

It’s still a very exciting time, though if you’re following any development.

Still sounds cool. 😁

On the surface this seems like a great idea to someone like me who knows nothing about it. I'd like to hear further discussion on this.

Are we still allowed to say this? Peter B. Parker from the spiderverse says it’s time we can stop now.

I started a few back in college but never finished anything. These days I don’t think I’m motivated in that direction enough to pick it back up even if time wasn’t an issue, but maybe if I make it to

Lol. Yeah, it’s an accurate analogy but it’s still not the most flattering.

I'm not sure if they're attributed to being the longest living but they're definitely among the most resilient. They'll be here long after us I imagine.

Hive is a slow burn. It still hasn't come into its own, so to speak, but it's constantly improving and consistently proving this model can work and thrive. It's taking its time, but it's solid.

This is more or less what pushed me away from platform gaming. I just wanted to insert the damn disc and play the game.

Man, this is probably going to be an unpopular answer but I think it’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”. I grew up in the southern U.S. so I didn’t realize how racist it was back then, and it imprinted

Sometimes when I'm talking about all this stuff with others I start to feel kind of culty. There are so many people out there ultimately dedicated to whatever pet project they’re into we seem to almost

Hey, off topic, but have you ever considered ripping the audio from these and releasing them as podcasts? I can’t watch videos at work but I can listen on the go. I’m probably not the only one who’d benefit

Nailed it again, man! I just forwarded this to someone who needs to hear all of that put exactly that way. Thanks for sharing!

I kinda feel like all the conservative backlash against crypto is a sign at least some of them foresee something on the horizon.

“... now the corporations are running to the politicians across the country looking for assistance.” I find this particularly comical as governments are about to realize the internet is coming for them,

I’m very glad you brought this up. Only a couple of months ago I was asking about this. I’ve always assumed you’d rather have all this decentralized, if for no other reason just to lighten your work load,
