Which is fine, there's plenty of people who believe in it enough to buy at lower price points and think the current level is a bubble. What about $100 billion for the entire market, all the miners, all the companies, venture capitalist, developers etc... Who says Bitcoin even needs to be worth anything, the faster that stuff dies the faster the rest of the crypto world can move on without it.

The market as a whole won't tank completely unless its revealed that blockchain or DAG tech can't ever scale and decentralized tech is just too slow and inconvenient to use for everyday purposes.

At some point during said panic sale-off people will think, hey have the fundamentals changed or is this just a panic sell-off? Then they won't sell or will sell with the intent of buying in lower.

Honestly if they nail this 44% is small potatoes, this is a dying company with little to no future revenue streams. I'm surprised it didn't go higher.

They were irrational because if you analyzed all the coins in the top 100-200 you'll realize that it was primarily cheaply priced coins that were making the outsized gains and a lot of it can be attributed to market psychology.

It feels better to own 200 of something you don't understand than 0.00159. But at the end of the day returns are returns and it makes no difference if you have 200 of a coin or 0.00159.

Anecdotal but in Asia, white features are in "high" demand. One of the most popular surgeries in Korea is lifting the eyelids higher to look more Caucasian.

Meh to a certain extent but I'd rather use a giant Wacom on my desktop with all its processing power when using something like Zbrush then to do it over an iPad. Same with music, it's a lot easier to present dense amounts of information when you actually have the real estate to display it.

Well that would depend on the token and its implementation details wouldn't it. If you own x% of the pool you get a voice at the table with x being adjustable. Or alternatively all the small token holders can choose a rep or series of reps to vote on decisions on their behalf.

Asset prices usually dip in Dec

I'll happily take you up on your offer xrb_3enb5r6u5tguje5jknzi7zepnqdqrsy7io7z7jwxbpuxjkinhwhomawmnry5

I had heard about XRB for awhile but I'm surprised I couldn't find it on any of the major exchanges.

That must be it, the more intrusive it can be, the better the anti-cheat will preform.

I'm sure with Overwatch trying to become legit and the hundreds of millions that will go towards the Overwatch League, they need to ensure a level playing field.

Yea, kid's who grow up with food scarcity probably wouldn't believe they would even get the second marshmallow. These are the type of kids who hoard food even when it becomes completely unnecessary later in life due to their childhood experiences.

I imagine a better way to control for this is to have separate groups for different socioeconomic classes.

Yea but I also like getting paid more and adding a feature to something like React or Node would pretty much put you in the upper echelon of JS developers most companies will hire.

Also if you're switching to new frameworks and languages, doing open source will open up your career opportunities.

If China's firewall can't stop it, nothing will

The thing is we already have a solution to that, high speed commuter rails from the suburbs into the city, there's just not enough funding to build out the infrastructure.

The amount of people who come into Tokyo is mind boggling.

There are limits to specific protocols, like bitcoin.

Saying we've overcorrected on racism is like saying we've overcorrected on feminism. If 2017 has shown us anything, its that there are a lot of skeletons hidden in many closets.

There's extremist in both groups that fight for overcorrection but lets not confuse that with an actual overcorrection of any kind.

Yup, and that liability consumers are protected from? Merchants pay that back in chargebacks and chargeback fees.

Some premium credit cards come with annual fees and benefits. $100 a year for the ability to use a censorship resistant, semi-anonymous payment system doesn't sound like a bad deal.

Usually the time you need to book is lower than the full 40 hour week, I have to book 37 even if I'm pulling 60 or 30.

I think you do have to acknowledge the point that engineers are sometimes thought of as commodities and the business often don't realize the effects of their requests on the engineering team. Management is always very quantitatively focused and its hard to justify a lot of the yak shaving that needs to be done . This leads to poorer quality code or engineers working extra hours so they don't end up swimming in shit every day.

Of course if you are in those situations, just leave, we're in high enough demand right now. Only in a recession should you worry about those qualms.

No asset in the world can hold up against that....

I feel like this is a strawman argument here, you think your buried gold, bank accounts or any other number of things going to hold up against that?

How is censorship free money not useful for something.

You've got an entire darknet, you've got 80% of the world's population living in areas where censorship resistance is valuable. Chinese wanting capital flight, inflation infested countries looking for an alternative, areas of high political risk and instability.

To say its not really useful for anything is just facetious. Bubble sure, tech isn't there yet sure, no future use cases, now that's definitely not true. Will the use cases be worth 400 billion, that's a better question.

Well let me know when you can created a distributed network where more than 30% of nodes can fail without a PoW algo. Some are in development of course but until Satoshi did it, 30% was the limit, now we're at 51%

Yup, web of information into a web of value which more closely replicates the real world.

Combine that with AR and VR tech among other wearables and sensors and we won't just be digital nomads anymore, our entire world will have become completely digitized.

I could be wrong but the Lightning Network is hardly a proof of stake system, just used to open up state channels between two members for lots of off chain transactions before finalizing on the main chain.

It's just a tendency for things to become more restrictive and less open as the masses get on board.

It's a problem with human scale. We're not meant to scale to the billions despite technology enabling that. Once the internet scaled, all the human problems came with it. The innovators are part of a smaller and smaller % of the population. The inertia of current systems bogs down potential future changes. Innovation is traded for security, convenience and entertainment. Certain things become ingrained.

So, all the people move on and start again in a greenfield. Maybe its not the best but honestly, taking the lessons of the past and applying it to a new greenfield can't be the worst approach.

Somebody turned cryptoPunks (https://www.larvalabs.com/cryptopunks) into cryptoKitties and made bank, genius.

It's fine, the real innovation moves on. Telecommunication is a history of openness followed by control, radio, tv, internet and whatever comes next.

At least hopefully this isn't the end.

I think its exacerbated the issue. Social anxiety ramped up due to social networks, plenty of cheap entertainment over the internet to just barely keep going while sinking ever deeper.

Well you could also fork Chromium I guess.

If you save some of the wages you get in bitcoin from 800 - 10k I'm sure you'll be pretty happy, not like the fiat increased in value.

In my opinion, journalistic integrity is more important than ever and I'll gladly pay for quality instead of being swamped with clickbait.

I don't want my journalist to be beholden to advertisers instead of trying to provide the most truthful, unbiased facts to their readers.
