Comment on YSK: The Invention Secrecy Act is a US federal law authorizing the government to suppress disclosure of certain inventions for reasons of national security. 6,543 inventions are currently suppressed.
They’ll suppress it unless they can make money off it like crypto or “AI”.
Bitcoin was publicly released with full code and no pre-mining. It could not be patented for this reason.
The original creator is still unknown and has never moved their coins.
This strategy is the way.
Yo. Thanks for curing me of my ignorance, i had no idea. I’m going to have to read more about this! I always thought crypto was cool in theory, unfortunate the state of its practice.
I’m kind of on the same page as you, as a concept it’s really cool but all the hype and techbros around it are a huge turn off.
