I thought that word might bug someone.
It’s not just a distributed hash table. That’s not a trustless cache. It’s Byzantine fault tolerant. Trustless.
It combines game theory with distributed hash tables and makes them irreversible.
And yes, even satoshi himself was upset he couldn’t get the anonymity perfect. Great strides in other chains to do that, and zk stuff for confidential activity.
Look, it’s not for everyone. It’s not for you obviously. But it’s a breakthrough for sure - tech, science, whatever category you want.
It’s the first time man created a system that can’t be reverted. That’s a big deal.

I’m not an idiot that’s buying shit that rug pulls. It’s just dd. A lot of ppl like to gamble memecoins and shitcoins.

Irreversibility is what Bitcoin brought to the table. Prior to it, nothing else has ever had that capability. It’s literally the scientific breakthrough. It’s why it holds value.
If you can’t see that value, that’s one thing. But it is there.

Scamming is done by humans, not digital currency. Scamming isn’t new.
Crypto is liked by scammers for the same reason it’s so valuable to everyone else, including nation states. It’s irreversible. It’s a mathematically perfect ledger objective of corruption and military might. It’s a source of truth in a very grey world.
- Comment on US passes Genius Act, first major national crypto legislation 3 days ago:
Indeed. But only one can be printed by state actors who over millennia have proven to mismanage and fail.
- Comment on US passes Genius Act, first major national crypto legislation 3 days ago:
The usd has a huge dependence on other nations accepting it, and capital being injected by wealthy nations and people. It’s backed by military might and threats for not using it as a reserve currency to trade oil.
- Comment on US passes Genius Act, first major national crypto legislation 3 days ago:
Both are dependent on banks and whales. Only one is dependent on the trustworthiness of a govt tho.
- Comment on US passes Genius Act, first major national crypto legislation 4 days ago:
Ok I’ll bite. What’s a scam? Currency in general, or currency on a distributed censorship resistant immutable ledger?
- Comment on is there any way to invest ethically as a sole individual? 4 days ago:
not tied to oil in any way
Like a company that doesn’t use plastic at all in any way?

Wow you typed a LOT to defend not making a GitHub issue. That energy redirected to writing a GitHub issue would be stellar.
- Comment on Desperate search for missing girls as Texas flood death toll rises 2 weeks ago:
They say the same thing when I say this same thing to them. Can’t yall just mind yer own and love one another?
- Comment on Desperate search for missing girls as Texas flood death toll rises 2 weeks ago:
Coincidentally I just sat next to one of these crazies at the diner also.
My point stands tho. To laugh at these deaths because of ignorant ppl isn’t helpful at all. It simply furthers the divide and is completely just as batshit crazy
- Comment on Desperate search for missing girls as Texas flood death toll rises 2 weeks ago:
They’re already trying to claim it wasn’t a real flood, but was caused by cloud seeding to fake climate change, and saying the kids were murdered.
Who’s “they”? Some crazy person’s opinion you read? I hardly feel that’s relevant. Your leap to lump everyone into some red v blue bucket is root cause to most this infighting.
Even if the whole state were ignorant to the science causing this, I fail to see why we’d use it as a rallying cry to make fun of people’s deaths.
- Comment on YSK: Condé Nast Parent Company is a Major Owner of Reddit, You Should Avoid their Publications (Wired, Ars Technica, GQ, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue,...etc) as Much as Possible. 1 month ago:
I wondered the same thing. Seems we’re getting older than the median age on here. Lol
- Comment on YSK that after leaving power, Margaret Thatcher became a lobbyist for tobacco companies 1 month ago:
I don’t follow much politics, and I dont follow political history either. I felt that this was a quality post and I appreciated it.
You’d do yourself a favor by not thinking and speaking for all of us.

Same thing they always try to imply. Just ignore the jerks on this platform and you do you.
- Comment on DHL to suspend global shipments of over $800 to US consumers 2 months ago:
Ah so you meant to write the op was “hey, as a homeless dude, I’m offended ya prick so fuck right off”. Cant argue with that!
- Comment on DHL to suspend global shipments of over $800 to US consumers 2 months ago:
I’ve been homeless and work closely with the homeless.
No homeless person was harmed or offended here. It was a person making a point. Ffs chill with the sjw

Ah yes. I still wear my 25 year old “deleted a prod database” badge with honor
- Comment on Hate speech on X surged for at least 8 months after Elon Musk takeover – new research. 5 months ago:
Strange. I’ve been a daily user for 4 years. I’ve still never seen Nazi stuff. It got more political in the past 6 months, but that’s expected.
- Comment on Why I am not impressed by A.I. 5 months ago:
Yes, people are using it as the least efficient communication protocol ever.
One side asks an LLM to expand a summary into a fluff filled email, and the other side asks an LLM to reduce the long email to a summary.

Actually, it was the US president removing the convertibility of the US dollar to gold.

- Comment on Apple's controversial iPhone accessory may have been discontinued 8 months ago:
That’s certainly a good possibility.
Could it instead be related to them discontinuing the lightning port on all devices, and usb-c to 3.5mm adapters are available for $2 on temu so they’re not bothering? Is that alternate reality also possible?
A follow up, if wired headphones actually are unpopular, why are there pages and pages of sellers in all marketplaces selling usb-c to 3.5mm adapters?
- Comment on IFIXIT: Victory Is Sweet - We Can Now Fix McDonald’s Ice Cream Machines 8 months ago:
This was exactly what I thought. You could start a staffing company that supplied skilled temp workers with this skill set.

- Comment on New largest prime number discovered by former Nvidia software engineer 8 months ago:
I disagree. I find it quite relevant to have the person/ group, the strategy or method, and the device used (including chipsets). Most articles on prime number discovery will mention all these things.
The fact that he worked there seems pretty irrelevant tho.
- Comment on Internet Archive breached again through stolen access tokens 8 months ago:
There are really good, incentivized versions of decentralized storage networks. Unfortunately discussions about them are stigmatizes under the “crypto” umbrella so the mere mention typically gets you buried.
If you have an open mind, check them out!
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 8 months ago:
Community is fine, your comment is at the top, along with others pointing this out.
It’s the “non-community” if you will booting this. The passerby’s not reading comments.
