Yeah thats Derek allright, the man has a bit of a reputation for being argumentative and opinionated. And well with his extensive resume ( he made Battlecruiser 3000AD in 96) he has the right to speak on things, and we should be silent, listen and be in awe of the wisdom he bestows upon us. A living Prometheus, slowly back away, do not make eye contact or he will start a flamewar.
Finally a 'to the moon' you can trust.
I had not heard from it and is all sounds quite bad.
There’s a bitcoin wallet attack that uses this trick that was mentioned recently, maybe here
It was here, but also it is an older trick, it just isnt crippling the ecosystem as some exchanges simply dont care. It prob fucks up peoples lives quite badly however.
Amazing. They think thinking about science fiction and technology is the same as actually doing the work, and compare themselves to the industrial revolution. Railroads, factories, blockchain.
“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

E: I hope I don't have to explain how extremely reactionary for the industrial revolution this dumb cryptocurrency ad is. (Also how conspiratorial, nobody is stopping yall from building cryptoshit, in fact the richest people on the world are on your side and it looks like they are trying to support you (ignore the hands in the treasury), it is just that people you think are socially cool(*) think you are lame). E2 forgot to mention, amazing how bad twitter has become, a lot of the bluecheck replies that float to the top there are just crap.
*: myself excluded, I am very uncool.
Someone did some math (an actual paper iirc) on stablecoins, they actually had a mathematical stable value to which it would return, which was around the pegged value. Only one problem, this wasnt the only stable value, as they had 2. The other stable value was 0. Hmm black swans
The big grift atm isnt the money laundering (which exists, and is known and the 3 letter agencies used to be active in tracking it down). The grift now is dumping us gov dollars into crypto directly and removing all barriers to money laundering and scamming of the public.
Depends on what you mean with 'currency'.
E: Prob still is 'no' in all cases except 'I keep a rare coin collection for speculation purposes'. Saw that the local places which used to accept bitcoin no longer do so.
I'm just sitting here going 'you are hating this guy wrong!'

Sorry, I have not kept up with the guy, and that is why I made the silly joke. Thanks for pointing out what actually happened. And hey, at least star citizen is still trying to chug along (despite my own reservations. feels weird to agree with Smart), so those non-nft pictures of spaceships will prob outlive the nfts.
