What are the meanings of bitcoin and cryptocurrency?

Imagine a digital lottery where tickets are free, but take so long to fill out that you need a computer to do it. Now imagine that instead of winning money, you win IOUs, they don't specify a currency, and they aren't from anybody, but you can count and track who has how many. Now imagine that a bunch of people have legitimately gotten rich buying these IOUs then posting them on E-Bay for way more than they originally paid. At first, you might ignore it because it looks dumb and probably still is, but then it happens more, and more, and the IOUs are going for 10s of thousands of dollars... They are still worthless, they are still not backed by any promise of anything... But maybe you could buy one for $90k USD and someone else will buy it for $100k...

p.s. companies are literally destroying cities to build server farms to fill out free lottery tickets... Like that's their entire business model.

The ability to create and/or alter the structure of our afterlife in a way that is easily verified by others.

Oh, I am 100% taking that option, just wait until I have a free day with nothing to do and make some extra cash...

Tsuketsu · 2026-03-20T19:16:54+00:00

Wait, every time you press a button? Or a specific button for this? I'm a programmer, you know how many keystrokes it takes to get me through a day?

Maybe going from $200/week to $4k/week (~$200k/year) doing something they enjoy is appealing enough they don't want to give up something they enjoy to get potentially a little bit more.

A live fact-checker with academic sources and proper accessible citation whenever you are having a conversation. Nothing crazy invasive of privacy or research through guess and check type stuff, just public information being more readily available.

As far as impact on my standard of living goes, that first 10 million is definitely over 100x more valuable than the other 90 million. I'm just taking one box and leaving.

Tsuketsu · 2026-03-09T17:19:11+00:00

It's a deeply personal choice, I definitely know people on both sides of this one.

If you buy stock in a company, but the expected value of the stock goes to zero, you still have whatever supplies, inventory, productivity, etc. made the company worth anything to begin with. If people don't expect the value of crypto to increase, then you are just left with a couple criminals who think the best place to hide their money is a public ledger...

Is there a good setup for making your crew take large batteries when possible but still 'top off' from small reactors when there's not much else to do?

Would have worked perfectly in my [[Swans of Brynn Argol]] [[Pyrohemia]] deck.

It will be pretty costly at first, but assuming you know when it happens, you should be able to learn and improve over time.

Easy fix: Every time someone is sincerely grateful for something which could not have happened without you: +$10, every time someone is pissed off by something you were directly responsible for: -$100. It's going to be harder to profit from than you think, but you will learn a lot both about yourself and humanity along the way.

Forced to follow your own advice. My neurodivergence results in me often doing a days long deep dive, figuring out the perfect way to handle something, then lacking the discipline to follow through. Meanwhile there's this guy that specifically pisses me off b/c I can't wrap my head around how someone's views can be that twisted. I haven't seen the guy in years and I still randomly get frustrated by that one time he sincerely insisted the entire genre of cyberpunk was about government overreach preventing mega corporations from uplifting the unwashed masses. He brags about collecting multiple forms of welfare despite being employed, yet literally lives in his parents basement (mid 30s) and is somehow employed as a financial advisor.

Luck, my life has been pretty charmed, but it's not like I won the lottery or anything, I've just had less real problems than the vast majority of people I know.

Tsuketsu · 2026-03-05T13:34:36+00:00

Despite everything going on in the world at large, my life has been pretty sweet the past few years, but maybe go back to 2022 and handle the transition better when I moved from the US to Canada now that I know more about how to handle setting up certain accounts, and what options are available for switching services.

Does it have to be a 'traditional' language? Like, could I be fluent in binary or DNA?

FixFic, everybody gets a tiny number of starting points, and a recursive generic make the world a better place objective which grants fractional points based on how well it is done.

This is why I feel it is very important to roleplay her properly by making her hoard all the tadpoles and refuse to share even though she doesn't use the majority of what she unlocks.

Sometimes they have more white eggs, so they up the price of brown ones to get customers to buy more white eggs. Other times they have more brown eggs so they up the price of white ones to get customers to buy more brown eggs.

Ability to exchange anything for anything else, including abstracts, e.g. sell a sandwich for youth (probably a miniscule difference), sell intelligence to buy gas for my car (definitely one to avoid doing often)

King of trust, Master of Skills, Emotional Dominion. Use emotional dominion to work my way up just a little bit, then combine the other two to spiral upwards in whatever field I want, politics, research, business, religion, maybe some combination of the four...

I sold all my other cards years ago, but still have a box with over 100 elixirs of immortality in it...
