This is awesome. I just wish more governments would wake up to the fact that crypto does nothing beyond suck resources and warm the planet. If you want to bet on things that go up & down, there is the stock market where things go up and down 20%+ every single day.

Well then if we must choose between planet, and greaseballs, we'll choose the planet any day.

You cannot move "underground" when you are sucking that much power.

The government did what they should have done, and what all governments should have done a long time ago and shut this nonsense down. It's sucking up resources and only adding to wealth inequality.

Bitcoin rewarded a small group of very smart people very very very well. It then rewarded morons... hordes and hordes of morons very very well too. We will be living with the consequence of this for decades to come.

yup. I just keep a terminal open set to that path. Had just 10Mbit wifi before but that is now 500Mbit. Will have to revisit this solution. Something like a rsync would be nice.

Here is an idea:

  Don't take the Saudi money.   Don't take any money.  

  Just build it, and ship it.  Work a regular job and work on your startup at night.  

  Create a product and charge very little for it.  Wipe out the competition with a better / cheaper product.  

  Once you think you are having an effect, short your competitor.  Continue to ship your as good or better product for 1/3 the cost.  

  Take down the world powers.

  Just an idea.

You need to understand the S-curve.

Exponential change!

Not really my point that selling options is the problem.

imo, allowing < 25k account holders to buy short dated options should not be allowed due to their outsized effect on stock price. And the tendency for that price rise to snap back like an overstretch rubber band. It's just creating more volatility.

Not really.

It's about removing leverage from the system.

Are there examples of this happening?

His idea seems like a rough sketch. I don't know how deep he has thought about it. But he mentioned it in at least a few talks.

Would be awesome if you all just looked him up & went to talk with him.

He represents the "what bio can do" part of the equation. And bio does quite a lot already.
