It's not the opposite either. Chess is a game of skill, poker is also a game of skill. The difference is that chess is deterministic and poker is not. Chess skill means being able to forcefully convert a winning or…
I think the author needs to come up with a different title because it's highly misleading. The author's premises are also highly exaggerated. For starters, the game of chess has not stopped evolving, because our chess…
I never said it was the most intuitive, just the most streamlined and most efficient. I'm having a hard time understanding why you think it's not the best organized. Most math courses are taught with a pretty straight…
Math is presented in a way that's supposed to be organized, compact, and categorical. If we taught math the same way math was proven and discovered, it would be so slow and inefficient that we would still be covering…
How to really multiply Roman numerals: convert them to Arabic numeral notation, multiply them (use a calculator or your favorite algorithm), and convert them back to Roman numerals. It's very interesting to discuss this…
It's a profitability issue, not a logistics issue. It would not be profitable to convert that natural to electricity if it was used for anything besides Bitcoin. And worry not, this is benefiting you even if you don't…
If you make a Bitcoin address, memorize the private key, and never write it down ever, then the only way for anyone to "reverse" transactions is to force you to physically say or write down the private key. This…
Thanks for your sacrifice, now I know what kind of tree hugging hippie Im talking to. The unfortunate reality of the world is that sacrificers like you have to live with resource gatherers like me. And your opinion…
Would you go vegan to reduce your CO2 output, and does it make you a sociopath if you dont?
Then you don't know what the definition of a sociopath is at all.
Not a sociopath, just someone whose priorities are in the following order: - my family - my friends - my country - the rest of the world I'm not going to restrict my own economic goals to save the planet at the expense…
Not really: - You cannot censor a Bitcoin transaction. You are talking about a completely unrelated issue and pretending this is an issue with Bitcoin. - People in China are still mining Bitcoin and using crypto even…
Monero, Dash, Zcash, Beam Grin, are all completely private and anonymous. Nobody can see you using those blockchains.
You know what? You're 100% right and I agree with you. I am wrong here. But still by your definition of logic, anyone can logically conclude it's a scam. Just make the assumption that people don't give out money for…
Could have but did not want to? I want to use crypto and so do plenty of other people. That's why the option to use crypto on craigslist even exists. First, it was criminals, now it's the planet. You are all over the…
Actual, deductive logic can't be used in any scientific field because we don't have scientific objective truths. Science is based on inductive reasoning and constant hypothesis checking. Plenty of scientific facts we…
I'm not even 30, born to poor immigrants who didn't graduate from school, and I own my own property that I paid for with my hard work >;)
I've legally bought and sold quite a few things on craigslist using cryptocurrencies. I'm personally finding it easier and easier to use cryptocurrency as a payments system as time goes on. You really don't know what…
I don't think the strictest sense of "logic" has much use outside of pure math. Using commonplace definition of "logical=rational", it's logically refutable. Any rational person should be able to reason out that it's a…
If you're a homeless bum you'll have all the free time in the world to draw and make music and read and hang out with friends. That's what you want, right? You sound pretty classist asserting the life of a bohemian is…
Plenty of cryptocurrencies are private: Monero, Dash, Zcash, Beam, Grin, etc... I actually prefer using the public ones when I want a paper trail. But I've got a stash of the private ones in case I ever need to relocate…
A lot more people than just criminals and money launders. But yes, criminals ironically tend to be some of the first adopters of new technology. So the fact that it's so popular with criminals should be the signal that…
It gave us an uncensorable, global, and decentralized payments system. To some people this is extremely valuable.
If everyone worked 25 hours a week, dog walking would not even exist as a job. Literally anyone can do it as long as they can walk. Let's not pretend it's a noble contribution to society here, it's objectively speaking…
"But why should I have to pay the entrance fee and why should I have to work?" You don't have to, nobody is forcing you to work. If you want to dumpster dive and live on the streets you never have to work. Plenty of…
