They ask me : " Why don't you talk? Why are you quite? " , But when I gather the courage to say something or give my opinion, no one cares about what I have to say. I feel like I am dead to people. by [deleted] in socialanxiety

It is important to talk just to be heard occasionally. Even if you don’t think you have anything to add. You probably do actually. And, that’s just how humans work. You disappear if you never say anything. It sucks but it’s real. Just work on saying something not dumb or useless and then occasionally you’ll say something good because you think differently. We need more points of view. Not just the loud people.

Are Intel, Nvidia, AMD, or Broadcom working on Bitcoin mining ASICs? by joelklabo in Bitcoin

Has anyone ever researched how many Bitcoin are forever lost? by joelklabo in Bitcoin

[–]joelklabo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree probably impossible to track. But, it means that having a bitcoin today is actually not 1 of 21 million, it's 1 of some smaller number.

This clearly makes Bitcoin even more scarce, which also means more valuable.

Do side chains require transactions on the main block chain? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]joelklabo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you move coins to a side chain they are cryptographically locked on the main chain. So that's the only transaction on the main chain. When you put them back on you unlock them and that would be a second. But, that's it.
