      Cryptocurrency is an ingenious technique for converting concentrated wealth into widespread shortages, ransomware, and carbon dioxide. Whoever figures out how to run it in reverse will have their statue in every public square

      Tom's Hardware has gone into detail on some of the Chia induced price spikes and high-capacity HDD shortages. But the real pain is probably in fast SSDs, since you need those to create the Bram Cohen Bingo™ cards to fill the big hard drives withhttps://www.tomshardware.com/news/analysis-hdd-prices-skyrocket-high-capacity-hdds-sold-out …

      The fact that 1/3 of Cohen's new "decentralized" cryptocurrency is already controlled by a Chinese pool that requires users to install custom software is the cherry on top. Of course, they're working on adding more software to re-decentralize. Code is the solution to all problemspic.twitter.com/CtIUJ4nTNL

      The appeal of cryptocurrency to a certain class of mind is that it purports to be a technical solution to a social problem: How do you pay strangers without trusting anyone? But it shows that you can't escape social problems with technology, you can only dig yourself in deeper

      The attempt reminds me a lot of early attempts to formalize mathematics—that if you could put everything on a basis that you could prove theorems about, and had enough expressive power, you'd eventually get arrive at a "God's eye view" of Truth and Beauty and so on.

      The discovery that this is not possible even in principle was a pivotal moment in human thought. There's a similar (if less lofty) principle at play here. Any interaction between people is irredeemably and ineradicably social, no matter how much code you slather on top of it

      The problem with cryptocurrency, though, is that it has that false promise. It seduces people who are exceptionally brilliant but (for whatever reason) uncomfortable with the messiness of social interaction and human institutions in general. And it attracts raging sociopaths.

      The usual mantra is that technology is amoral, and we twist it to our human ends, for good or bad. But cryptocurrency is a good candidate for tech that is inherently evil. It's an intellectual island of the Lotus Eaters for smart minds, and you can also do lots of crimes with it

      The internet-mediated diversion of extremely smart people into dead-end basins of thought like hyperintelligence or cryptocurrency is something I post a lot about on this site, rather than making productive use of my time

          The good news is that given how many very smart people buy into crypto, it may offer a solution to the evil AI problem. Simply tell the AI about cryptocurrency and it will spend all its time talking about crypto on Clubhouse instead of making everyone into paperclips.

          I remember when the self described best and brightest were busy making you click on ads. I'd imagine ad-tech is a good source of people who believe their work to be amoral. That the bad stuff comes from people abusing the tech and not it working exactly as it was designed to.

          I suspect a superintelligence might rope humans into providing its computing hardware needs by inventing some kind of supercoin that combines all three of compute, memory and storage, with the mining being some kind of distributed global AI computation.
