Those entities can abuse your trust if they decide to censor or cancel the transaction for some arbitrary reasons. Same can apply in the context of money, rules of said money can change, a person won't be necessarily…
A blockchain is a database. But a regular database doesn't really minimize trust, that's the point of public blockchains. The need of not relying on a centralized entity or third parties in the digital space does exist.
Bitcoin solved the double spending problem in a decentralized system. This has numerous consequences, among them the possibility of creating a currency that doesn't rely on a centralized authority, trust minimization,…
Unlike php, I can see Javascript slowly disappearing thanks to Wasm.
The wealthier might lose more wealth overall (if we exclude the options they have to diversify and protect) but that doesn't mean it won't be harder for the poor. A poor by definition doesn't own much. They probably…
Bitcoin can change depending on the need of the users, assuming it's something accepted by them, which sounds fair to me. As for the inflation/fiat it just seems to me that you keep ignoring the possibility of a failure…
In practice, I'd say "selected" lower level standards aren't changed but built upon. Standard tools also tends to not change much. web protocols, C, C++, php, those are not getting away despite many attempts to reinvent…
The fact that so many people don't know that cash/fiat is losing value over time makes it somewhat of a problem. Furthermore the creation of cash/fiat creates high benefits to those that benefits from the newly created…
When I see those kind of subjective opinions getting popular, I'm glad that projects like bitcoin exists. It's really a political topic, as much as economical or tech.
Just like today's "don't spread personal data on the internet and avoid forms", the future of that will be "don't use a brain-computer device/software that is not entirely open-source". We're warned. Now what we have to…
We have no idea if the forced voters will vote blank or not.
If you force to vote the many people that wouldn't vote otherwise, you will likely have results that are not representative of what the citizens want, due to skewed data. Don't expect forced voters to represent a normal…
For web dev, I would rather have an expert in rust obviously, but I would also rather have an expert in php who expressly choose php over rust for the sake of the kiss principle. Plus he would probably be satisfied with…
I don't understand how people are jumping head first into a new technology that is so young. It reminds me of the different js frameworks fads. Why would you use that in production, with no decent level of certainties…
Governments are important to protect freedom. I'm in favor of national currencies, but when it comes to the world wide web, and computers in general, I'm more comfortable with having a neutral currency not influenced by…
