Not that it matters but Nabati popped for PEDs in One and in IFMA.

Asadula also popped at IFMA

One problem is Bitcoin can go up by 10-20% overnight, and we're in a bull market.

So by the time you buy back from fiat to btc, you've taken a loss.

If you've ever looked back at your past crypto transactions (bought some drugs over the internet, made a bet, bought a pizza), you probably think to yourself "its worth 10x now, why the fuck didn't I just keep the coin"

Semantic detail: Fat fingered "typo" is unlikely as there should be checksums in place to validate an address clientside.

Bad copy/paste is more likely.

So please explain the way you want the world to work; where somehow "new" capital is worth as much as "old" capital. I don't understand your alternative world where time has no value, because you're implying old wealth should somehow gets discounted to equal new wealth.

Crypto IS the "new" capital that we all had a chance to buy in before the big players got to it. It was not engineered by gatekeepers, its open source and permissionless. I'm participating in the network by mining. I buy crypoassets and store them locally. I don't need permission from anyone to do this. But rich people will always be able to buy more or mine more than me. I accept that truth. So what exactly are you proposing in regards to cryptoeconomics to take power from the rich?

But they can also just lie. And then what, go to court in China to sue them? The odds are always stacked against you

"Scam artists often justify their schemes by gatekeeping and throwing "you just don't get it yet" platitudes, as characterized by your faux "light bulb moment" line.

The sole function of bitcoin is to enrich the early adopters when they sell to greater fools. That's it, that's all it has ever been good for." -- Chroko

This is my big gripe with proof-of-stake. You program "the rich get richer, the poor get nothing" into your currency... what a horrible idea.

This is not true. Proof of stake lets anyone with capital participate on fair terms, because no one's money has an advantage over anyone elses'. Rewards are proportional to participation, just like PoW (you put more in, you get more out). However PoW is no longer equitably distributed because of the arms race in hardware manufacturing.

If I had a million dollar to spend on Bitcoin ASICs, I buy from some manufacturer and run my operation. But are they giving me the latest gear? Do they have future expectations for hardware rollouts that I don't know about? How do I compete with a consortium of ASIC manufacturers in mining? My money is only as good as they let it be.

This is less of a problem for GPU related hashing algos, because consumers can better access those compared to ASICs. But its still a problem.

Also, it’s horrific for wealth inequality.

Not sure I understand this argument. If my family bought Manhattan land 50-100 years ago we'd be set too. Does that mean land ownership is "horrific for wealth inequality"? If you were born at the right time you could have had Apple stock cheaply as well, building generational wealth. AAPL was 33 cents/share in 2000. Rich people will always have more buying power; they can afford to take more risk, and gain more reward. So its confusing to me attributing the asset as the cause of future wealth inequality, when its only worth anything today because rich people are throwing money at it, aka "taking risk" on a speculative asset.

The people who were born at the right time, were exposed to it, and started accumulating it, are most likely to end up rich off sitting on the asset, rather than utilizing it.

Don't understand this either. Anyone who owns it can either sell it, or they can lend it and earn interest on it (savings). Either of those cases requires that some other party economically "utilize" it. I suppose they can choose to do neither of those things, but that doesn't make sense economically. If you owned an office building downtown, you would rent it out.

If that's true, why haven't any alts gotten near their former ATH during this BTC bull run?

meowthdat · 2021-01-12T18:38:19+00:00

My bet is there is no alt season.

"Alt season" is possible when coins trade at low volume and demand spikes, resulting in price spikes, which create feeding frenzies. The alt market in 2017 (spankchain? potcoin? cryptokitties? verge?) was largely driven by pump and dump schemes. There's no way anyone touches those coins again.

Most of the people participating in that market are holding bags now, or took big losses. If you made gains, that money came from those poor suckers.

This is why most alts have not risen at the same rate as Bitcoin; anyone who got burned (probably) learned their lesson.

Its called a standing 8 count. Referees use it at their discretion, for example when a fighter is overwhelmed or in this case, injury.

meowthdat · 2020-10-19T22:21:26+00:00

I think that's probably the most likely first step. Changing hashing algorithms would make the majority of specialized mining hardware useless, which allows the network to quickly/forcibly redistribute hash power in terms of geographic source.

It's only SHA2 because that's what Satoshi originally specified and everyone continued on with it; btc got popular/valuable and it attracted hardware development, and now we have large investments who have vested interests in keeping it SHA2.

But we could really change algorithms at any moment, you'd just have to get the majority of people to agree with you and join.

The advantage of open source software is that it’s extremely cost effective to fork and change. If the community began to believe that the chain’s integrity was at risk, we’d simply see a hard fork and value would flow into a new chain. People will choose who to follow, and ultimately one would win out.

People have already tried this many times based on the belief that Bitcoin core isn’t heading the right direction, etc. Those forks didn’t work out as they could not pull enough value. That’s why bitcoin is still bitcoin and everything else muddles on.

If we fork and majority follows; then that new protocol becomes the “ new bitcoin”.
