Bitcoin's realized cap finally hit $100b!

I'm kicking this one around but man Alcor and others have a bit of a professionality problem to overcome.

As I said, if I'm frozen like this I want "This person has the passphrase for 20 bitcoins memorized. Revive me, You get half" etched on my container. If the world comes where that is an incentive to revive me then I *really* want to live there.

And then you wake up in a torture chamber because they want your key....

they dont have to revive you. just your memories.

so 10,000 years from now some dude drops your brain into a MemoSeed Blitztractokator (tm) machine. which basically is a blender with some chemicals and nano tech tossed in. he blends your brain to a fine puree, the tech absorbs the memories, and stores them so AI can look for seed phrases. your brain goes to the compost pile. profit?

The rise of cryptocurrency is changing the philanthropic world by causing the redistribution of wealth from old money to visionary innovators and early tech adopters. The new crypto rich invest their donations by supporting scientific research in groundbreaking fields that may one day enable humanity to cure aging, reverse death and completely change the relationship between work and income.

Curiosamente, Hal habla sobre una base de 20M de BTCs, y no los 21M que se generarán, dando pie a especular sobre los motivos por los cuales omitió 1M de BTC en sus cálculos.

Hoy en día su cuerpo se encuentra criogenizado y bajo la custodia de la Alcor Life Extension Foundation, luego de haber trabajado durante sus años finales, y junto a su esposa, por recaudar fondos para la investigación de una cura para el ELA.

Desde Barcelona Blockchain Week, que este año se llevará a cabo del 25 al 31 de octubre, consideran que uno de los instrumentos más efectivos para expandir la tecnología blockchain es generar referencias y ejemplos de casos de uso, aplicaciones, carreras profesionales, creaciones, propuestas o actuaciones dignas de ser honrados.

Bitcoin ≠ Visa

Ultimately, bitcoin is not competing with Visa for supremacy in global payments. Instead, bitcoin is competing with the dollar, euro, yen and gold as money, and any comparison to Visa, its transaction volume or transaction speed is fundamentally flawed. Bitcoin fulfills the role of currency issuer and final settlement. As a result, the proper comparison would be between bitcoin and the Fed as currency issuer and as a clearing mechanism. No one makes the mistake of confusing the functions of Visa for that of the New York Fed, but for some reason, the comparison is often made between Visa and bitcoin.

While it would require time and investment, Visa’s payment network could sit on top of the bitcoin network to fulfill payments much the same way it sits on top of the existing banking system. Rather than clearing the currency through a central bank, final settlement of transactions would clear through the bitcoin network. In the existing architecture, the payments layer (Visa) and the settlement layer (banking network/central banks) are separate and distinct. The principal problem bitcoin intends to solve has little to do with the former, but instead, with the mechanism by which currency is issued and cleared (think the Fed and QE). Visa helps move dollars but Visa is not the dollar. It is a technology company that provides a service; it has 17,000 employees. Bitcoin has none.

Whether credit or debit, Visa is an inherently trust-based credit system. While consumers generally associate swiping a Visa card (or the equivalent) at a point of sale terminal as payment, it really is not. Instead, balances are checked, transactions are authorized and settlement occurs later. Dollars are not actually cleared through a central bank or settled at the point of sale every time a transaction is processed. Individual transactions are also never really cleared. Instead, transactions are batched together, netted and settled at a later point in time; only then are accounts credited with proper balances. So when someone attempts to equate a Visa transaction with final settlement, that is just not the way the world works. But that is the comparison that is implicitly being made when someone attempts to compare Visa with bitcoin.

Hey WO

Finally exiting from land of nowhere:

This is my 4 digits tent:


Leaving it, and hopefully never see it again!

As I hope to never see another group of nocoiner I met and were disruptive on me:

Instead of punishing banks and companies for failing, governments just give them a raise.

Nothing of the kind unfortunately, but thanks anyway
