    Bespoke: expect social attacks on bitcoin because _way_ cheaper than 51% attacks.

    Joke: Bitcoin mining wastes 1% of the world's energy production. Woke: Attacking Bitcoin costs 1% of the world's energy production.

    Privacy is Consent. "The personal-data [consent] war is long over, and you lost." Is not how consent works. It is not how people work.

    Everything you do has been recorded, munged, and spat back at you. It has been for a long time, and it’s not going to stop. The age of privacy nihilism is here, and it’s time to face the dark hollow of its pervasive void.

    30/ In summary, if crypto was a party, you showed up at 01:30, drank all the punch, kicked the host in the nuts and spent the rest of the night flirting with the family's underage daughter. Now it's 06:45, you're throwing up in the laundry bin & complaining that nobody likes you.

    22/ One of the most idiotic things newcomers of 2017 did was to reject all cautionary recommendations from bitcoiners as "Bitcoin maximalism".

    TL/DR (quater): Bitcoin's POW acts like a homogeneous field and its effects are global and cumulative. Any metrics trying to measure its efficiency should reflect these properties.

    TL/DR (ter): The main utility of Bitcoin's PoW is the security of an economic history.

    I just published "Gravity", first part of a series of 4 articles about Bitcoin's PoW, its properties and its efficiency.

    Tip: the first step on this path is the identification of the properties of the system that you try to replace.

    I am not a “PoW-hater” by ANY means, but I fail to see the logical reasoning here. If we can create an immutable ledger WITHOUT burning so much energy, why wouldn't we seek it out? The purpose of PoW is to solve a consensus problem:

    Protip: stop amortizing the cost of PoW into the number of bitcoin transactions. That's a breathtakingly stupid approach. Do better, critics.

    No need to say that Galilei was a fucking idiot. They should have burned him !

    Can you believe it ? Those stupid bitcoiners think that some rivers flow 365 days/year...

    this is why bitcoiners who claim bitcoin is actually GOOD for green energy are lying idiots: bitcoin mining needs 24-7-365 continuous power and wind and solar are super bad at that. so bitcoin shifts to coal.

    "Electricity production can increase while still maintaining a minimal impact on the environment. Rather than focusing on how much energy uses, the discussion should center around who indeed is producing it – *and where their power comes from*"
