The quality of crypto commentary from established investors seems roughly similar to the quality of commentary from random Twitter accounts. I don't think that's coincidental.

Yeah we're looking at the Caribbean right now. Some islands have better internal food production than others. Not having kids yet makes this decision a lot easier!

I think we flee the USA. It's simultaneously the most powerful country in the world and a rapidly decaying empire. A terrible combination. Optimism and entrepreneurship cannot save a sinking ship. We should live and build elsewhere.

Mass propaganda, demonizing of dissidents and minority groups, massive state intervention to "protect" the nation, economic stress (and incoming inflation). We're one epidemic away from the American version, and I already know who the scapegoats will be.

And we don't know beforehand whether higher-cost tx's yield beneficial competition or whether they're unnecessary. This is the same line of reasoning that makes people conclude "It'd more efficient if there was only one provider of electricity."

Not even in the economic sense, either, unless we assume that Bitcoin is the final-money-for-all-time. If there's ever a future innovation that makes better money, we'll need competition and plurality to figure it out. Equilibrium is never reached.

Highest IQ in the world =/= smartest person in the world. Lots of idiots have high IQ's. But Chris does seem like a thinking person, and I always enjoy hearing ideas from people with a chip on their shoulder.

Big blocks might eventually be seen as a novel solution to Bitcoin's scaling problems. The amazing technological breakthrough: putting everybody's transactions on the blockchain. A new paradigm!

This is a real screenshot. I can't see the full address. Can't click on it to expand. Can't copy it. Have to go to block explorer, for goodness sake. It's a wallet app!

Just switched the Twetch wallet. How did MoneyButton actually get worse over time? The UX looks intentionally harmed. For example, it doesn't even show the full Bitcoin address I just sent money to. It's truncated instead. How is that an honest mistake?
