What I meant is that it's not a hassle free process. You'll be reported to the IRS (or equivalent) and even be asked to bring an "approved intermediary" in some EU countries. I wish I was making this up.
Hard and soft real time depend entirely on the context. An example of hard real time is flight control. The whole sensor - actuator - decision process must happen within the given threshold.
You can't go to a bank, ask them to give you all your money in cash and hide it under a mattress (not in most countries at least). You can go to Coinbase and simply transfer all your funds to your own wallet in a matter…
I don't understand all this confusion about what RT means, this is the definition of a RT system. If you can't complete the computation within the given deadline whatever partial result is discarded and the computation…
These live streams are anxiety inducing for us, I can only imagine how they must feel!
That live stream was epic! It was great to see them so happy :)
Proof of work was not invented (or envisioned to be used with digital currencies) by Satoshi. It's been around since 1993. I can't really find a reference to prove what I claimed so I would agree I might have been…
The environmental impact of "Proof of Work" could have been a problem but the inventors did think about that and realized that mining can be done pretty much anywhere, using renewable resources that would otherwise be…

Again, I apologize. It was a knee jerk reaction to being told I don't understand something without proof. I believe that also violates numerous guidelines: > Be kind. Don't be snarky. > Please don't post shallow…
Apologies @maclured. Thank you @dang!

You fail to understand 3 things: 1. There is no such thing as "intrinsic value" and I explained clearly why in a different reply to your comment. 2. What goes up is the value of land, not houses. If houses themselves…

Most subjectively "useless" objects are used as a store of value. Only 7/8% of gold is used in the manufacturing industry, the rest is sitting there with no active purpose other than existing. Same goes for collectibles…

Extremely unlikely. Bitcoin has been around 12 years and it's just now starting to go mainstream. Most people still have no idea what it even is. You can count the number of publicly traded companies that have Bitcoin…
Yep and that's Bitcoin's network effect. There is demand for Bitcoin. 2017 was the year of retail interest, 2021 is the year of institutional interest. It's easy to see that the price is now uncorrelated with the retail…
I'd rather invest into something that is highly volatile but almost certainly appreciates over time rather than something that depreciates at a predictable yet increasing rate. We could discuss the fact that BTC might…
Created an account just to say this but you beat me to it.
