I've never seen a recordable disc (CD-R, DVD-R) experiencing disc rot. I've only seen one commercial audio CD from 1993 (commercial/pressed discs use aluminium) having disc rot in the outer edge. I'm talking about a…

Optical discs can be quite reliable if we're talking about a good brand (like Mitsui Gold CD-R or Taiyo Yuden Ceramic DVD-R). They can last up to 100-200 years. I have optical discs from the 90s/2000s and they're still…

What if the population decreases rapidly in the future, while Monero will keep churning out new coins in eternity? Don't you think the deflationary nature of BTC will shine for a store of value?

No, there's no reason to put a noisy ASIC in my house, but they don't look like scammers to me: eBay/AliExpress are more risky, especially if you try to import stuff outside of EU (more taxes/tariffs, especially for a…

A decentralized, bias-free AI will scare them...

Not in the slightest! Here's why.

The bottom of the previous cycle was 3k in Dec 2018 and 4k in March 2020 (COVID black swan). That's 17-23x. 15k (Nov-Dec 2022) -> 130-180k (Nov-Dec 2025) That's not 2x... more like 9-12x. Diminishing returns, but still…

In 2 years from now (late 2026 - early 2027) we'll experience a new bear market due to Taiwan (Ukraine No2) and possibly yet another CEX failure (FTX No2, although Proof of Reserves is meant to prevent Ponzi schemes…

Did you read my entire post? Read it again, from top to bottom:

I remember telling people since 2020 that EU's Digital ID initiative is going to have some serious repercussions in the society, but few people believed me back then... they were too focused on the COVID plandemic.…

I clearly remember Michael Saylor saying on Twitter that you need 250 billion $ of ASICs and 4 years to manufacture them (and chances are in 4 years from now the hashrate will be 4 times higher, so more like 1 trillion…

What if each satoshi is worth more? That's the point of a deflationary currency. Even if miners earn less sats, they will be worth more over time. Transactions will keep increasing, because the network will have more…

Who determines what's the ideal block size increase? Regarding Satoshi's 1MB decision, he's most likely no longer alive, so let's spare him. And if we're going to increase it, why should it be static and not variable…

1 million? Is that extrapolation or what? Currently you need 250 billion $ of ASIC equipment and 4 years to manufacture so many chips (assuming you have a big, advanced fab like TSMC) if you want to perform a 51%…

Value-wise it seems BTC can go a lot higher: https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/bitcoin-btc-to-reach-100000-by-end-of-2023-and-1-billion-in-2038-predicts-industry-giant-fidelity/ And I said value-wise, not fiat-wise,…

Oops, yet another red flag: https://twitter.com/brqgoo/status/1661396918864424960

LN is prone to double-spending? How so?

The 1 million dollar question: does it have franky's Seal of Approval? On a serious note, I'm not sure I understood how it works... maybe someone needs to write an ELI5. Lightning is very simple to understand if you…

Some people keep asking why, even though they've been registered on this forum since 2013 (the 1st BTC cycle)! Sports/bet gambling (aka instant gratification) has ruined their already rotten leftist brain...
