@xor @BenDoernberg If it fails, we will learn from the failure, regroup, and try again.

@xor @BenDoernberg “deserves” = matter of opinion. Don’t get hung up on semantics. If a single exchange is a critical weakness, it will fail

@xor @BenDoernberg If Bitcoin fails due to a single exchange failing… then it deserves to fail.

@xor @BenDoernberg The demise of poorly run institutions will have a negative short term effect, but Darwinism is good for us long term.

@jefft @pmarca is microblogging at you so hard. Not his fault you can’t handle it. :-P

pmarca Large incumbents in any industry are well aware of this, so they play 2-sided game: simultaneously complaining about & embracing regulation.

pmarca Because government regulation establishes high stickiness for incumbents, vs new entrants that are unequipped to handle regulatory load.

pmarca Government regulation that purports to protect ordinary consumers generally ends up protecting large incumbents.

@YouKnowMissy If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Cryptocurrency is a very complex beast.

@HailJustin_ I’ve been studying cryptocurrency for years; it’s very difficult to distill into a few minutes of material. Happy to help!

@TheDanWells @flyosity I don’t see how this is a problem. Except that existing regs make it difficult for us to build competing providers.

@LittleShibe Completely agree that “economics = psychology of money / value”

via web in reply to LittleShibe

@aidje Or even better, shouldn’t the people own the Internet infrastructure? My understanding is that regulations are preventing that.

via web in reply to lopp

@aidje I’m all for democracy. Then shouldn’t the people choose not to use providers who impose rules against their interests?

The more I learn about economics, the more strongly I believe that nobody actually understands economics.

@AddisonTodd I’m interested to see if there will be a great outcry for network neutrality as we enter this new age of network prioritization

I’m unconvinced that government regulation to force network neutrality is desirable. Anyone want to try to change my mind?

@coinmaker321 The @tipdoge bot should be holding your coins - go to tipdoge.info to learn how to withdraw to your wallet.

@PeercoinPPC @emilepetrone Miners are concerned w/personal efficiency w/regard to their competition. Unconcerned w/efficiency of network.

via web in reply to PeercoinPPC

@PeercoinPPC @emilepetrone Sure; Bitcoin miners are worried about efficiency, so they continually design more efficient ASICs.

via web in reply to PeercoinPPC

@emilepetrone There are alt coins with other mining schemes that try to be “useful” though - such as Primecoin. Not much adoption either.

via web in reply to lopp

@emilepetrone Seems to me that if mining efficiency was of concern to the community, we’d see more Peercoin adoption.

via web in reply to emilepetrone

@emilepetrone This is an area of debate because “wasted work” is subjective. Mining system is designed to operate on brink of profitability.

via web in reply to emilepetrone

@emilepetrone You mean the proof-of-work mining algorithm? It’s designed to be inefficient. Want efficiency? Use proof of stake (Peercoin)

@carpedurham Don’t just leave money lying on the table, now!

@Dasterdizzle Yeah, “withdraw” is for taking funds out of the bot and put them in your local Doge wallet.

To new shibes who received a tip from me via @tipdoge: instructions for using the bot are on its Twitter profile & at tipdoge.info

@Dasterdizzle You’re not alone - I’ll go ahead and post an explanation.

mark_a_howard @lopp A fundamental optimism reified in the code of the Bitcoin protocol. Honey badger mocks cynicism daily!

While weasels will always be afoot, cryptocurrency is based upon consensus mechanisms that work because there are more good actors than bad.
