Could someone tell me how a Luna 2.0 would be worth anything more than 0 at launch? As all the cash is gone

I've read most of this thread and I still don't understand crypto mindset. At the end of the day crypto is worthless and it's only the dollar backing it that gives it any notional value.

Tank girl stuff aside (it's obviously a rip-off with nothing added and plenty taken away), her stuff could be considered pop art, it's a bit cheap but there's a lot worse out there. If she was just open about her process she'd save a lot of grief. OK just looked at her twitter (why) I can see the issue here

Surely it would be much easier, cheaper and more secure just to ban UK companies from trading in crypto.

It sounds a bit like the end goal of flexa is to remove crypto from the equation and just use actual money

SettingSun posted:The Flexa whitepaper attempts to address this, but doesn't really back it up. I don't know about the US, but bank transfers have been almost instant for years here in the UK. Also what do they even mean by "mobile wallet"? As my understanding of "mobile wallet" would have the exact same functionality as a credit card (as in, Google Pay) or are they referring to some kind of crypto wallet, in which case it should have a big red X next to everything?

What really gets me about "web 3.0" speak is how offensive it is to the impressiveness of the invention that went into things like "separating software from hardware". Like, they take everything invented prior to 2010 as if it was developed by luddites. Let alone the offensiveness of calling it "web 3.0" in the first place - web 2.0 was a term coined for a tech stack that already existed, it wasn't just force fed down everyone's throats and it actually improved things and was easy to understand. It didn't need an army of people screaming obscenities to get it into people's heads.

coolusername posted:We’ve got bitcoin all wrong, guys. We thought it was a horrible scam, but What would happen is that rich people would control all the wealth and decide who can get some. And states would have even less capacity or reason to distribute it more evenly. That is pretty profoundly bad, yes

Also 'Often referred to as “the web version 3.0” or “web3” (the internet being “web2”)' That article is written by the person its interviewing. Not a single dissenting voice (although it's so fricking long I gave up). Journalism this dead is embarrassing.

Lord Stimperor posted:Our provider in Western Europe has that as well. Sent us an email to rejoice, we would now providing free internet to other customers and would het free internet elsewhere as well. I was actually wanting to disable that but never got around yet to figuring out how. BT do that in the UK, I use my own router for all manner of reasons but removing all control the ISP has over my home router is a pretty major one.

I wonder what kind of compensation he was offering if he polluted an entire town and didn't find a drive with £200 million in bitcoin on it Lol everything about that article is serious delusion: "Mr Howells has now pledged about 10% of the proceeds of the drive, should it be recovered, to fund a range of crypto-based projects" "We'd like to set up a community owned (Bitcoin) mining facility which is using that clean electricity to create Bitcoin for the people of Newport." "Among his other plans are proposals to give £50 worth of Bitcoin to every person in the city and install crypto-based terminals in all shops" He's obviously completely broken, they should just tell him to gently caress off and never come back or get prosecuted for harassment

I think there can be some kind of royalty cut in an nft contract. quote:“In the analogue world, a Pearson textbook was resold up to seven times, and we would only participate in the first sale,” he added. Imagine producing something that has value stored in the actual product being sold. What an antiquated concept.

If bitcoin's endgame is to replace currency across the world, how does that fit in with the non-fixed nature of the rest of the world's resources? A return to scrips and bartering chickens for broccoli? Or would nations just invent their own internal currency and use that as legal tender, initially coupled to bitcoin and set free when that became inconvenient? Before the most stable and productive of those currencies became more lucrative for other countries to hold than bitcoin... Maybe we've been here before

cruft posted:Hi, science background here, is this a commonly-held economic belief? I feel like it is. How does this work, in economics? From my perspective, it seems to assume the earth has infinite mass. I didn't know how to word it, maybe "ever-changing"? I definitely didn't mean infinite I mean, made up numbers, there's six billion people all wanting to get paid today, in ten years time there'll be eight billion, is the bitcoin ideal for everyone to get salary reductions rather than increases? How would anyone ever know what a bitcoin was actually worth?

cruft posted:Ah, okay. Well, some people who claim to truly get economics do speak of wealth as some infinite pool that can be endlessly tapped, like, you can just generate wealth from nothing, and thermodynamics doesn't apply. That seems to be the dominant theory of economics in the world today, and we have people shooting refuse at the moon to spend it

So this current jump in price is the miners manipulating the market to continue to be seen as being profitable, so they can continue to get real money from idiot hedge funds? At some point, I assume that spigot will run dry as AI is the new shiny
