tenuousemphasis··on GSA Eliminates 18F
The Limits to Growth predicted (in 1972) a collapse of industrialization caused by exponential growth well before 2100. Since then we've only accelerated our rate of growth. I think we have far less than 75 years left before things go very badly.

With Bitcoin, you could create that third party in a trust minimized way, something impossible to do with the banking system.

For instance, if the third party refuses to authorize a legitimate transaction, you have a third key you keep offline somewhere that can be used to force a transaction through.

tenuousemphasis··on Reddit has been down for more than an hour
I think the biggest upgrade that can never happen on Reddit (because of the entrenched moderator community) is the ability to democratically oust a rogue moderator.
