It's just supposed to be short for collectible currency and the domain that was still available.

Might put that somewhere so it's easier to remember.

The crash is absolutely rational; the cascading effect highlights the missing moat for companies like OpenAI. Without a moat, no investor will provide these companies with the billions that fueled most of the demand. This demand was essential for NVIDIA to squeeze such companies with incredible profit margins.

NVIDIA was overvalued before, and this correction is entirely justified. The larger impact of DeepSeek is more challenging to grasp. While companies like Google and Meta could benefit in the long term from this development, they still overpaid for an excessive number of GPUs. The rise in their stock prices was assumed to be driven by the moat they were expected to develop themselves.

I was always skeptical of those valuations. LLM inference was highly likely to become commoditized in the future anyway.

Coming from an account created 3 minutes ago, spreading whataboutism and discrediting it by calling it "sci-fi" at the same time.

Lisp is one of the oldest programming languages developed in the 1960, it came before and is very elegant actually. You can write incredibly powerful things with this pattern and it's also really simple to build an interpreter for it with the stuff they had at their disposal at the time.

No, I talk about the ADL having a point and his recent behaviour, including the lawsuit, leading to an increase in antisemitism.

You are totally right, the whole statement is ironically antisemitism here on Hacker News: Facebook/Mark Zuckerberg and Israel.... what is the connection. It's clear the poster is on X/Twitter and you can see what Elons behaviour perpetuates.

Elon Musk doesn't know how the advertising business works, get's rid of moderation and let's banned people back. Which obviously leads to an increase of antisemitism on Twitter and the ADL justly fights against it.

Now after the lawsuit this guy thinks: Elon is a genius, it must be the jews who control the media who have prejudices against Elon and his management.

If it is a medium of exchange, all the attention never made a lot of sense.

The use cases are niche; that's the thing. Venezuelans who avoid inflation and ordering illegal drugs are not a trillion-dollar business. All the legal/regulated areas mean competing with existing financial infrastructure, which is low margin and incredibly competitive.

So if you see the space as a whole, it never had the potential market to begin with to justify those valuations. It was fuelled by low-interest rates, speculators, and venture capital. It was, in retrospect, simply a bubble, and some people feared missing out after some became insanely rich with it.

Historically speaking it was nothing special: Tulips, new economy, real estate and now it was crypo.

When you are in it, invested people always tell you why it is different this time. The underlying economics stay the same; value creation is usually incremental and hard.

This might be an interesting application in some early medical devices for blind people.

What if it's binary but has a better resolution and they would see like that?

The early stage of Theranos wasn't really a scam, they tried to build the actual product. The scam started when they failed to do so and then lied about it.

You can replace the battery for a fraction of a new one, I basically have that already.

My second battery of my 6s now makes trouble again, no other issues. I struggle to come up with a good reason why I shouldn't get a new battery for another 2 years.

Isn't Apple in a pretty mature market, they have to double their earnings in the next few years to justify this p/e ratio.

Is that realistic?
