What you don't say is what you don't get

Perpetual-ish motion machines exist if you know where to look.

Source?

You might be surprised by the tremendous amount of value in AI posts. AI considers context NI doesn't.

The problem with ambiguous boundaries, messy constraints and the perception that there is no linear path to transferring meaning in language.

That you know of.

If it was only a minor incremental innovation, in this specific form, wouldn't it have appeared years earlier?

> haven't seen a use case but crypto yet.

BTC is up 500%+ since 2 years ago. This looks like a use case to me. It maintained purchasing power better than stocks and bonds.

This comment read to me like AI slop.

> its nothing more than a high risk stock

Nothing more? Proof-Of-Work wasn't innovative?

With fiat you have high risk of losing 50% of USD's purchasing value within 2 years, which already happened, and which is not far from being robbed, as have happened to millions of people too.

One interpretation of this comment, if viewed from an adversarial angle, is that comments like this, although perhaps not this comment specifically, are designed to dissuade people from buying crypto days before a bull-run starts.

Accurate data illuminate a lot of things.

A different metric of comparison isn't Bitcoin's energy consumption compared to other countries but compared to the existing banking system it's trying to replace, which burns more energy than Bitcoin and allegedly burns more energy funding wars with fiat. Mining gold instead of Bitcoin burns more energy than Bitcoin too.

Compared to that for energy consumption, Bitcoin is superior really.
