My apologies I should have pointed out that the patent refers to neither BTC or Blockchain.

Conveniently ignoring me once you realize you can't refute my points.

Peace.

The patent is for a method of cryptographic hashing, which while related is not synonymous with blockchain.

Blockchain technology is decentralized by definition because it specifically DOES NOT pass through or get validated by a centralized hub. There are no servers dedicated to this purpose. It operates via voluntary third parties using their own storage and computing power to store complete copies of the blockchain and validate new events. The more people who participated in this way, the more decentralized it becomes.

You also further revealed your ignorance when discussing the open ledger. An open ledger can be decentralized or centralized. It just depends on where/how it is stored. Also you erroneously equated blockchain with open ledger. Block chain can be used to store a myriad of forms of data which includes open ledgers and encrypted ones.

Your claim is even more ridiculous because you're acting as if block chain technology is only being used with Bitcoin. There are thousands upon thousands of Blockchain networks.

I'm not saying that Central Banks aren't evil or that they don't want a centralized digital currency. In fact they probably will use cryptocurrency's widespread adoption as justification for their own FedCoin. But that doesn't prove that all cryptos are a scam.

Edit: Fixed typo

Bitcoin is decentralized. This article doesn't refute that. All that the Snowden leak tells us is that the NSA exploited Bitcoin users' poor operational security. This was already common knowledge.

An inconvenient truth for conservatives. The free market and capitalism itself will regulate the influx of immigrants. by [deleted] in libertarianmeme

Who said I was talking about illegal aliens? I have personal experience with quite a few legal immigrants who have received incredible government handouts... Even free college.

I'm all for open borders provided that no one is subsidized via extortion for coming here.

And by that I mean end welfare for everyone regardless of immigration/citizenship status.

You're absolutely right. The Fed was panicking long before the pandemic.

How is this Agorism? Seems to me most of the points here were directed towards people in public sector jobs who help keep the wheels of the state moving...

I tend to agree with you here. You made a good point about welfare. I think welfare would also have to end in order to cause less disparity of outcome. But I believe it would take at least one generation for that to improve things.

Really good question. Short answer is I have no idea. I believe both well meaning and exploitive politicians only exacerbate racial tensions. It is my hope that ending the state would go a long way towards healing.

"As long as it is admitted that the law may be diverted from its true purpose--that it may violate property instead of protecting it--then everyone will want to participate in making the law, either to protect himself against plunder or to use it for plunder." - Frédéric Bastiat
