Title: Bitcoin - is it a particle or a wave? Post by: DGulari on October 16, 2016, 08:11:35 PM Sometimes it appears to be a little of both and neither.

No particles or waves. Don't be ridicuous. Title: Re: Bitcoin - is it a particle or a wave? Post by: gentlemand on October 16, 2016, 08:45:26 PM It's a virus. It slowly spreads, infests and infects the mind of those who choose to let it. It can't be stopped and it can't be killed. It'll always lie in waiting somewhere.

I'm a big fan of the wave-particle duality paradox, it proves how little we know, in spite of how much we do. Well, I see the 'satoshi' as the smallest unitary element (the particle). But I see the blockchain and technology as the supporting matrix within which these particles traverse, propagate and exist (the wave). The closer we look at the satoshi, the more unimportant the wave properties. The more we pay attention to the blockchain, the less important the notion of the fundamental unit becomes. Satoshi is the quanta of the blockchain. Title: Re: Bitcoin - is it a particle or a wave? Post by: Spoetnik on October 17, 2016, 02:44:48 AM It's a virus.

In one example it was.. uTorrent the File Sharing app had it bundled before. People flipped out about it :D @OP I don't get it :'( Title: Re: Bitcoin - is it a particle or a wave?

It'll always lie in waiting somewhere. You are right. This slowly affects and infects all of us but I don't want to believe this is only a wave. |
