In what way. You would call being 18th in income mobility "tremendous?" I wouldn't.
Pretty confused by the downvotes. People don't like data? I mean in fact it's worse than people think and you are no longer likely to make more than your parents when a few decades ago you had a 90% chance of doing so.…

So what's the point of complaining about PoW as if Gridcoin used that when literally 1 of the 2 sentences in the wiki says it uses PoS?
Not to be that guy but did anyone read the 2 sentence wiki? "Gridcoin attempts to address and ease the environmental energy impact of cryptocurrency mining through its proof-of-research and proof-of-stake protocols"…
>Whats the use for the coin? Its an incentive obviously but its only so because it has a price tag. Who should buy the coin from me if I "mined" one and what would he do with it? This is the same for any crypto coin.…
Why is this surprising? Has anyone been inside a Chemistry or Bio lab? You think that what happens in those labs to get research done is industrial grade?

Sounds like SOP for American business to me.
The same could be said about flowers.com, macys.com, or literally any company doing business on the internet. Scale is basically a solved problem so pretending that AirBnb is a "Tech Company" or that they have any…

If you believe you determine your actions in a literal sense you are saying you believe in magic because there is no mechanism that could make this possible in a deterministic universe.
The type of free will that people subjectively think they have is so called "Libertarian Free Will" and it's basically universally understood by the majority of philosophers that this does not exist.

Yay I can't wait for a trip to the grocery store to take 12 hours because every transaction takes 20 minutes. lol. This is just pure bitcoin hype, there are far better coins to use if you are actually interested in them…
Go ahead and do the math on how long it would take to launch enough bots to match current energy spend on earth.
