Are you going to stop using AI because it consumes too much energy?

In what way? I assume you know how the minting of coins work with miners

Yes I think this is going to be the end of Bitcoin, we'll never hear about it again after this year

It is more rare than gold and getting more rare every 4 years.

What is the current supply of gold and what will it be in 2050?

You don't really believe that do you? The market disagrees as well

His arguments about the feasibility of a 51% attack are off by an order of magnitude, and the fact that you can't easily reduce the amount of energy needed to mine is a feature, not a bug

Did you buy any Bitcoin for long term investment?

Their real estate portfolio is at least 1-2B, w/ 2B in debt, they are buying the business at a ratio of 20 P/E.

Will be interesting to see how they do privately, good luck to them!

It's cool, but I'm wondering what the breakeven cost would have to be if you weren't planning on making money from PFOF?

Can easily see this being $5-10 a month without a problem or even $500 lifetime pass for early supporters. Also if you add Lightning Network deposits to a portfolio I would be more likely to use it, you can make money off the spread too as long as it is under 1%

> Yeah, that seems great! Go for it!

I mean, it is the best performing asset of the last 10 years, so yeah, it seems pretty great to anyone who has a brain.

A 98% cash and 2% Bitcoin would beat the SPY returns for any 4 year period since inception. When making investments, its important to have a long term outlook. Do you just live day to day without any planning?

> Nope, because he's been inactive for 14 years

If Bitcoin is so easy to track people why don't you find him?

> You mean the SQLite database at third parties in some cases?

Didn't answer my question, but you know you can run a lightning node at home, right?

> Links to an ETH project

What does that have to do with Bitcoin?
