This is lion propaganda. The population would eventually stabilize as reproductive rates decrease.

Doing it correctly requires a cost that can be verified by outside observers.

Nobody cares how much effort they put in if it walks like a scam and quacks like a scam. You’d have to be nuts to trust anybody in the crypto space.

Why stop developing while it’s still producing revenue? With >51% of the supply, they can leech off any remaining suckers indefinitely. The price of Nano relative to Bitcoin has done exactly what one should expect. It would need to have been done correctly to begin with and can’t now be un-fucked.

Like my Excel spreadsheet!

Why did NFTs only last a single bubble, while Bitcoin persists?

FYI you are correct

Nano gave out its supply with centrally administered CAPTCHAs. That means they could have simply exempted insiders from having to do the CAPTCHAs at all, getting >51% of the supply for free. You’re expecting everyone who ever uses that money supply to trust a central party for something we can’t audit.

IMHO Franklin is one of the few who would go straight to “what is it?” without blinking.

The future doesn’t belong to us. It belongs to AIs.

(Not claiming that LLMs are anywhere close to human-level AI)

This is an interesting economics problem. How can a p2p FOSS alternative compete with advertising revenue? The YouTube creators don’t even get most of the money, so it wouldn’t need to be perfect to be better.

It would be nice to maybe have a chance of seeing some of that money again, but the knowledge of what I’d fucked up would have a heavy mental burden of its own.

Obviously if it was me I surely would’ve pulled my coins out when the email addresses got leaked, because I’m such an unusually foresighted person.

Unless they require a digital signature

I wish I was a greater fool in 2010.

They can’t sell them!

One or two school shooters would keep the ICE agents out of the building.

To be fair, recall how microscopic TVs used to be not so long ago.

I’d assume it nags whenever it can’t connect to the home server, and just says “network”.

So when they go out of business any remaining units will nag forever.

To be fair Boomers didn’t create this economic policy. Their parents elected Nixon, who broke the Bretton Woods agreement “temporarily”, and then we adopted Keynesian macroeconomic policy afterwards to justify it.

Inb4 someone regurgitates a defense of this “boomer” policy and proves that it’s not just them and never was. It’s always been the rich and their loyal servants.

We should only support neurodivergent learning styles. The neurotypical kids can just conform or end up in prison; they’re not worth the tax dollars to accommodate, sorry. It’s simply not cost effective, we’ll have to leave them behind.
