Cryptocurrency is not my thing. I think its silly and bound to implode one day. It seems obviously made for illicit transactions, scams, and wild speculation.
But I understand it.
I cant quite figure out the point of NFTs though. Do they have any legality?
yeah.
you own the token, and possession is nine-tenths of the law, so they're 90% legal.
Except the token has zero actual legal power as a proof of ownership.
So it's literally the "Certificate of Authenticity" you got when you ordered a commemorative plate from infomercials.
You know, what is the difference between rock and stone?
I always vaguely assumed that rock was raw material and stone was what you got after you mined/collected rock but apparently they're just synonymous.
(to the tune of Power Rangers)
go go English language!
I feel like size has something to do with it as well
Like, something you could close your fist around is definitely a stone, not a rock
I'd actually go the other way
Like a rock is something you can pick up whereas stone to me always implies construction of some type (stone countertop, stone wall, stone building, etc.)
The only time I really hear "stone" used to refer to something small is a skipping stone
This is probably a UK/US thing though

Hmm, I think the blockchain is kind of conceptually important! People trying to build a network of exchange that doesn't require central authority or trust, and running into the problems of enforcement in the absence of those things — these are interesting things to discuss
The rug pulls and scams are a fundamental part of the concept

This mayor says he wants to get his first few paychecks in bitcoin tho so I think the discussion that he wants to have happen might not be the same one you're thinking of.

I've put in for PTO for deer season opening day on Monday :biggrin:
Just a lot to figure out, still, among that being the logistics of a one car household and my needing to get out to the woods before sunrise, and my wife needing to drop my kiddo off at daycare. :-/ I don't know. MIL and FIL visiting, maybe.

Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

Clearly you're camping overnight.
I don't even know if I'm permitted. It's a HAP parcel with a sign-in. I need to call and ask how early I can get there and all that good stuff.
I could have my wife drop me off at like 6am right when kiddo wakes up? I don't know if that's early enough to get a slot.

Crypto is also an object lesson in how you're not just going to I N N O V A T E your way to anarchist utopia; creating one new system doesn't disconnect you from existing systems, and you need to thoughtfully construct communities to support social organization in any form

I'm still waiting to hear someone explain how once the collapse happens crypto is going to continue working when the computer networks required to facilitate transactions no longer, you know, exist.

yes, except significantly harder to counterfeit
which would matter if those certificates had an value whatsoever but
Hey everyone, Deep Rock Galactic is 50% off and it's fucking delightful! They just added a bunch of stuff which is nice but mostly I want to play with non-randoms so more PA folks need to buy it.
Edit: And most importantly for a multiplayer game, it's fun when you play solo and it's been nothing but fun when I play with random folks. No real chat needed since the objectives are pretty straightforward and you can mostly achieve them by just sort of bumbling around and trying not to stray too far from your team.

I think it's pretty easy to argue that the blockchain is meaningless because we didn't make meaningful progress toward building a network of change that doesn't require central authority or trust, due to the predictable two problems of existing power structures deploying their monopoly on force against it and of bad-faith actors doing antisocial things

Maybe in the accelerationist sense, wherein Bitcoin causes society to collapse!
I don't think that will happen, realistically the buy-in nature of crypto fundamentally just reinforces and exacerbates existing social stratification in a way the further alienates the majority of people from levers of power. Crypto will either always exist in this sort of parasitic relationship with state power or will integrate into it directly, depending on how the existing financial apparatus decides to tackle it.

These are interesting things for a technical audience. They're tremendously unimportant when it comes to the layperson's understanding. Rug pulls are conceptually divorced from blockchain and you could rug pull on virtually any sort of investment.

Eventually crypto bros will just realize that all they need to do to ensure that the value of their currency and ownership is respected is to have the monopoly on violence

Honestly, it's not important.
Really? Then why are these people jerking off about it?
I dunno why do people jerk off to simulated incest?

I feel the opposite!

Didn't you hear? The forums will now function entirely by obligatory metaverse integration
so people like the blockchain because of deep seated cultural taboos and millennia of assortative mating strategies?
