I'm seeing some people (not on Nostr) share that BI hit piece on fiatjaf. I don't really want to read that article, but does anyone have anything they can point to that addresses points made in the article? Even from what little I can tell it mentions, it sounds incredibly outlandish and reeks of sensationalist journalism.

How is Proof of Stake not just a rich get richer scheme? If you're not rich, you're exit liquidity... Diluted by ETH gentry.

It would have been cool if Alan Turing could have seen all that's been built using his ideas.

Fewer than 10,000 blocks to the halving. Bitcoin mines ~1,000 blocks a week. Tick tock next block...

Epoch 1: 210,000 * 50 = 10,500,000 + ... Epoch 2: 210,000 * 25 = 5,250,000 + ... Epoch 3: 210,000 * 12.5 = 2,625,000 + ... Epoch 4: 210,000 * 6.25 = 1,312,500 += 19,687,500 / 21,000,000 = 93.75% Just Bitcoin math to start the day. View quoted note →

Everybody's skeptical when I say we need to get rid of the patent system that's secured only by the state's monopoly on violence. They're like, but we won't have drugs! My response is, of course you will, in a free market, if there is demand, supply will come to meet demand, so long as suppliers are allowed produce and innovate free of state interference. High drug prices are a consequence of cronyism, not of capitalism.
