It seems a bit arrogant to claim that every one of the thousands of economists who study inflation are idiots.

You can look up the methodologies used to determine the basket of goods. By non-volatile I mean that they’re aggregates over purchasing categories - for example, it’s not the simply the price of a “40inch TV” or cod fillet (which may change in ways non-representative of general purchasing practices - as TVs of a given size get cheaper, or cod has a good year) but an aggregate over the entire purchasing category (fresh fish, consumer electronics) based on typical purchasing habits.

as someone that has complained about a lot of uber's resume driven development (see comments), I can attest that this system is

a.) necessary, and saves the company millions

b.) a simplification over the ... unusually ... architected system that came before and did not scale.

there's a lot of junk technology at many large tech companies, but scaling problems /are/ real when you have hundreds of millions of users and have demanding performance and reliability requirements. RAMEN is a differentiated and necessary part of Uber's infrastructure, even if that can't be said of a lot of uber eng blog posts.

It requires 100% because it only takes one miner to include the transaction for it to eventually be included.

Chain splits do not "edit" blockchains, they still require their own proof of work, and they cannot modify transactions, only drop them. Honest participants in a chain that is orphaned will not have had their money spent in the new chain, leaving it available to spend again. That's all that can be done. It requires a lot of work to be done once, let alone maintained over time on consecutive blocks, and in extremely short order the rewards sacrificed by fucking with the blockchain make continued attacks expensive to the degree that they'd be practically impossible.

People aren't thinking this through. The "race to the bottom" endgame is not that miners consolidate in one state with subsidized electricity, but that mining operations eventually power themselves off-grid through renewables, making distribution entirely detached from geography and jurisdiction.

Stats that include gold used as a store of value show much different numbers. But as I said earlier, the price of gold was never inflated by industrial use, it’s the other way around. The good thing about bitcoin: you’re investing in something that won’t negatively impact real world use cases.

Ah yeah, looks like things might have changed since I got that guidance.

That's annoying. Would be nice if they didn't keep changing things around all the time.
I think the biggest failure of Bitcoin is that it was marketed as a "currency" and ended up becoming a commodity. Bitcoin isn't something you use to spend wealth, it's used to hold wealth. Unlike a stock, however, whose value is based on what price people are willing to pay for it, Bitcoin's value is determined by its scarcity. Sound familiar?

That's why I hate the term "cryptocurrency". It has a lie baked right into it, the fact that this is supposed to be a "currency", when in reality it's just the same kind of digital assets that dominate all forms of entertainment these days. If the term you're using to refer to your product is itself a lie, what does that say for the rest of the product? The organization creating it?

Crypto, overall, is just hard to trust.
Bitcoin is volatile because it is not yet widely used and the market for is still relatively small.

Yes, people are investing to speculate on its price, but they are also investing because it has a fixed supply that cannot be inflated away by governments.

Take a look at the U.S. M2 money supply YTD and the DXY and consider what happens next as more wealthy investors begin to recognize this advantage inherent in Bitcoin.

Wow, really great stuff! I wrote something similar for my high school a few years ago (back when I was less experienced with programming -- ack!). I used a library called JSCPP to interpret the C++ directly in the browser.

50/50 you read the article, so I will leave this here:

> Google is testing a new feature that will surface Instagram and TikTok videos in their own dedicated carousel in the Google app for mobile devices — a move that could help the company retain users in search of social video entertainment from fully leaving Google’s platform.

In short, it appears they scrape and display content from sites they don't own in an effort to keep people on their platform. This is anti-competitive, and any smaller player engaged in similar behavior would have the door shot on their fingers.

Google use help people find their way to interesting places. Now they seem more and more interested in keeping them in a walled garden.
> re-invent every last feature of the banks they thought they were going to be escaping.

> centralized mining activity in a country where centralization means it's effectively owned by exactly the kind of government most people thought they DIDN'T want looking up their butts and where the people who that government allows to "own" this whole business work together as a cartel.

It looks to me like an attack on the reserve currency status of the USD. It's not a sure bet, but China is willing to tolerate it in the event it succeeds. Chins holds the mining power, so they effectively win if Bitcoin takes over. It's easy for them to clamp down and control.

> This is a pretty funny point because every time I go on twitter and see people talk about crypto, what they're essentially having is a discussion about public policy, and often they seem to try to reinvent institutions that already exist

The Bitcoin early adopters want to replace the incumbent systems with their own so that they can enrich themselves.

Now that Bitcoin has had time to play out, it feels like an attack on USD with way too many downsides.
This is an opinion presented as a fact. A source would be helpful.

From the tone of your statement, I think you meant mis-understanding. I'll add also a misunderstanding of macroeconomics and a rejection of empiricism. The cryptocurrency folks read a bit too much of von Mises.

I bought my smartphone from Hong Kong, in part because I wanted a specific variant that would be more likely to work with open-source ROM's.

The seller initially requested payment via Transferwise, who sought crazy amounts of personal information and bullied me into a privacy-hostile customer agreement. Days went by and they still hadn't activated my account.

Growing frustrated, I convinced the seller to accept Bitcoin, which was comparatively instant. The phone arrived a few days later, meanwhile the Transferwise morons still had their heads up their arses with no movement and no good explanation. I'm not a financial risk; I'm a good little citizen with no red flags. Reading between the lines my sense was their staff were overloaded or their onboarding system was simply broken.

Bitcoin was incredibly helpful for me that day, and my favorite feature about the phone is the way I paid. In addition to a great story, I've got to admit there was something liberating and empowering about giving what felt like a big middle finger to the slow, decrepit, old-fashioned institution who couldn't even deliver on their core business proposition. Like saying "screw you, I don't need you and your crappy service anymore, come back when you can compete on merits".

Whatever else you criticize about Bitcoin, it's still "cash you can email", and even if that's all it ever amounts to I still find it a bloody useful innovation.
Oh, it was made in good humour.

Because you could easily tweak the algorithms to make it act like stockpiling cheese. If you use a value time pair adding inflation that reduces the value of old coins is trivial.

Bitcoin has demonstrated the existence of a deep, pent-up need for a financial instrument that:

- can preserves value over the long term (implemented in this case via demonstrably finite supply)

- isn't easily manipulated by governments trying to finance their mismanagement of public money

In this by itself, it is already not a disaster.
When the government issues bonds, they sell them for commercial bank money, the same type of money in your bank account.

When the central bank later buys those bonds from banks (they never buy them directly), something different happens: the bonds are exchanged for "bank reserves", a different type of digital money that only exists as numbers in the central bank's database. This "money" cannot be used to buy groceries.

The entire BTC market cap is minuscule -- about 600bn as of this writing.

That seems like a lot, but compare it to Apple -- the market cap of just this one company's stock is currently ~2,238bn.

The market cap of gold, US dollars, Euros, etc. are all many times more than Apple. The value of all BTC is a tiny microscopic speck compared to the amount of USD or gold in the world.

This means (among other things) a few small players (with tiny capital relative to, say, the size of all USD) can swing the BTC market either way with a comparatively tiny amount of value moving around.

That would seem to greatly limit BTC's usefulness as any kind of inflation gauge for the broader economy.
Despite the crazy year, bitcoin still has less extreme volatility than some actual country's currencies. So for that small percentage of the world, bitcoin is a better "currency" too - besides for obvious things like local brick and mortar acceptance.
Do you have a a link? If you're based in the EU I assume so, but the EU doesn't regulate the world. (At least directly, if you comply with GDPR you're likely to port that over to other regions to avoid possible legal issues)

If you want to complain about meaning of the economic system just think of a virtual economy simulation. Why would any human participate in such a virtual economy? No matter how much money you possess in the virtual economy it is ultimately meaningless. All the goods and factories that you own are also virtual. Why even care? Well, because we like playing the game.

The real world is exactly the same. We live because we like living. Even if you only produce the most essential products you will still run into the meaning of life problem. Sure your food production is allowing people to live but why even let them live? If they didn't exist you wouldn't have to make food for them. It's completely circular at its core. Essential needs are purely artificial just as non essential needs are purely artificial. The reality is that people are selfish (both in a good and in a bad way), they want things, especially those that don't serve any essential purpose.

They don't care about endless growth, they just care about getting the best deal possible and that's exactly what capitalism offers. Communism at its core doesn't care at all. It just cares about the essentials and nothing else.

It really isn't, you're right.

Historically, inflation always meant inflation of the money supply. Its definition has changed over time and you've been swindled.

If you have a name for something, name the root cause, otherwise you're obfuscating its study, and perpetuating the non-identification of the root cause.

"Inflation, as this term was always used everywhere and especially in this country, means increasing the quantity of money and bank notes in circulation and the quantity of bank deposits subject to check. But people today use the term `inflation' to refer to the phenomenon that is an inevitable consequence of inflation, that is the tendency of all prices and wage rates to rise. The result of this deplorable confusion is that there is no term left to signify the cause of this rise in prices and wages. There is no longer any word available to signify the phenomenon that has been, up to now, called inflation. . . . As you cannot talk about something that has no name, you cannot fight it. Those who pretend to fight inflation are in fact only fighting what is the inevitable consequence of inflation, rising prices. Their ventures are doomed to failure because they do not attack the root of the evil. They try to keep prices low while firmly committed to a policy of increasing the quantity of money that must necessarily make them soar. As long as this terminological confusion is not entirely wiped out, there cannot be any question of stopping inflation." [0]

These plays can work. Why? Because USDS employees are government employees with escalation paths all the way up to the very top which gives them a lot of power to break down bureaucratic barriers to modern software development that government contractors & consultants would have no chance of doing. They then can bring in contractors to work in the relatively modern shell that they've created.

For example, here's a project started by the USDS in 2015. It's responsible for managing the complex bureaucratic process of VA legal appeals. (https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/caseflow) It's open source, continuously integrated and deployed with close to 100% test coverage, deployed on an AWS GovCloud VPC, and was built on a fraction of the budget of similar systems.

Active development on this system is now done primarily by contractors now that the relevant bureaucratic barriers were removed.

How do we scale this story? More talented people with the desire to serve their country. It's not easy, but it can work.

The limitation is that the bonds need to be payed back with income from taxes.
But recently, the U.S. Treasury has issued a ton of debt to the Federal Reserve. The Fed is creating dollars and handing them to the Treasury in exchange for T-notes. The recent debt increase has actually created U.S. Dollars out of thin air. Following this line of thought, those dollars have made their way into the "real" economy in the form of PPP loans and Covid checks. It was a similar story in 2008, but the amount of federal debt held by the Fed has exploded this year [1].

Furthermore, the last time the Fed has tried to draw down its balance sheet of federal debt, commodity prices went crazy and Jerome Powell had to abandon that quantitative tightening program. So, it's not even like the Fed can easily move those T-notes to the private sector and pull USD out of circulation -- we're stuck in an inflationary period.
