but doesn't this ignore that a lot of the light now absorbed is become electricity instead of heat?

yes, they implemented the resulting algorithms and have charts showing real world performance on GPUs and TPUs

Houston did/does have laws that are in effective zoning laws. Parking space requirements, setbacks, etc.

Also transit systems may be required. I imagine a place with truly no zoning laws and a transit system would have a lot of development near stops

> Not to mention the financial sustainability of the past 50 years of construction

? you think we are overbuilding?

Many ways to deal with this.

1) fake wallets (give them a key to some coins but not all) 2) multisig - someone else has to provide the other half of the key or what you can give them is worthless etc

The total value of all currency right now is far higher than the value of all the gold - if there was some sort of rush back to gold the price increase would be tremendous

why are they not updating the value?

you don't have to move that far to escape all that. Plenty of areas an hour away from San Jose that are nice and a lot cheaper (still more expensive than Texas or Florida, sure).

Sure but I was responding to a comment regarding Coinbase.

I feel like a $1000 fee would be something most people would remember and complain about to friends and family...

Yeah that's a pretty well known case, specific to Litecoin. Also crypto has come a long way since 2016

Even if we're at the same home price / income ratio as 2008, a big difference is mortgage rates. In 2008 a 30 year was 5.5%-6.5%. Now it's 3%. So we aren't yet near 2008 levels of mortgage payment / income ratio

Well certainly you can do it faster with crypto. How long would it take to set up the corporation / LLC? How quickly / easily could people buy shares? Could anyone buy shares?

Yes there are more risks this way, but I don't think there are zero benefits to the crypto approach.
