lol - excellent. i enjoy the tone of that piece. 

This effect is only strengthened the more people there are agreeing that the matter at hand is “cool,” “interesting,” or “complicated” — a process of mass, self-inflicted intellectual gaslighting.

Nonetheless, if the popular press is full of explainers “clarifying” what a “very complicated” investment phenomenon is all about, hide your wallet: You are being shilled into a game of Three-Card Monte.

wonderful. now I'm starting to feel repulsed by patreon for how it's creator praises facebook, twitter, and the rest of the brainwashing machine for "trying to be the best at getting creators paid" and says that now 75% of kids aged 6 to 17 years old want to be an online video creator like it's an amazing thing while calling it a cute "naive optimism". where the hell are we headed?

this guy loves the smell of his own farts... or drinks his own piss.. or both. 

headed? lot's of people making shit fighting for attention on line. people soaking it up and being tribal about it. 

feedback loop? wtf. "passion economy".. ugh. 

how many music tech youtubers do shoutouts to their followers to thank them for the new couch they put in the studio? all of them i think.

Came across tezos and hic et nunc which runs on proof of stake rather than proof of work so uses a fraction of the energy.

Put a couple of bits up to have a play around with the technology.

Decentralisation could be a great thing if done right.
But yeah, popped into a cople of the bigger NFT discords for research and it's pretty gross what's going on.

 

very legal, and very cool

ain't humanity capitalism grand?

To be fair, that tweet is quoting an article that was corrected shortly after its publication two years ago. Bitcoin still uses a ludicrous amount of energy in terms of its user base (far more than fiat currency), but the stat quoted is vastly exaggerated and completely untrue.

the most recent thing i read said bitcoin is equal to the amount of energy used by Argentina. not sure if that's still true or if it was true at the time. 

 

real question: could they find a way to create a currency out of the act of planting trees or something like that? do altcoins neccessarily need to come into existence by way of massive cpu energy expenditure?

plant a tree, get 1 Treecoin!*
 

 

*Treecoin can only be traded for a free personal pizza at participating Pizza Hut locations. 1 redemption per week, per family.

there is one, but currently in its infancy and more about trees you smoke for medical purposes.

"What [investors] do is they buy the coin and as it gets utilied by the pharmaceutical industry, or, maybe one day, it might be even be by law that you have to buy it through this. For the people that bought that coin, the demand goes up that that coin goes up.

"As of 2022, my company is the largest producer of medical marijuana in the world. If I was to force all of my customers, from your pharmaceutical people down to your Joe Bloggs, to use my cryptocurrency, for example. This coin will go through the roof. And eventually, the coin would be a marijuana-backed coin.

"At the minute the service that it does is very medical. Obviously, the reason that I bought into the company is because yes, I want to push more to the medical marijuana."

also, maximillian white is an investor so you know its going to be lit

fiat currency requires the largest militaries on earth and exploitation on an unthinkable scale.  it requires coups and assassination of leaders threatening fiat currency.  this statement you made is absurd to me.  when leaders of countries threaten US petrodollar dominance, all of a sudden they get murdered and their plans cancelled.  the vast apparatuses necessary to make that happen require far more energy than bitcoin.  yes, even in terms of the user base.

wow NFTs are going to be revolutionary! a website you can go to and be advertised to or click for laughs or boobs, who knew that sort of thing was ever possible on the internet 

could the technology behind NFT's, or whatever it's called that identifies a digital artifact as the original, not serve some other purpose, like identifying a digital document as the original? like a digital contract or something? I had a discussion with someone recently about NFT's, and we both agreed the concept of paying thousands for some stupid jpeg is ridiculous. but it came up that this sort of technology could be implemented in other avenues. 

and apologies if this was already discussed in the past 12 pages...I saw this thread again and this came to mind.
