> The only question that matters is: is Bitcoin better than commodity X

No. The only question that matters is will people collectively continue to agree that it's worth something, lacking any intrinsic value?

If interest rates go up and people need to call in their assets to repay their debts, what do you think will happen? Would people rather lose their houses or their bitcoins?

I think people will dump stocks and risky "assets" like BTC and take flight into cash with some percentage in traditional safe havens with a proven track record (like gold) until things settle down. This is exactly what happened a year ago. There's no reason in my mind to believe anything would change regarding BTC's status now - I think it'll be dumped like it was last year. It may recover faster (I'd certainly buy it for a heavy discount), but I just don't buy the "store of value", "digital gold" argument.

It's an early-stage speculative asset IMO - let's not pretend it's a stable, low-risk store of value.

> A house depreciates over time

Tell that to people unable to buy because house prices have shot up. Property can also generate a good rental income - yield obviously dependent on the price paid. BTC doesn't provide any such perpetuity.

>I realized that nothing in this social media hellscape was going to help me because even in so-called “safe spaces” I was met with vitriol and hatred in the exact time I needed understanding and comfort.

What a fantastic way to sum up all of my issues with social media. How occasionally, or even most the time you do get support, when people say really f*** up things it's going to affect you. For me the negatives by far outweighed any positives I was gaining from it.

>Dating offline now is as challenging as it was for my dad. That’s how I think of it. But I feel like it’s just the right way to do it. It just rings truer.

At least for me it's actually much easier, I don't waste time swiping on fake profiles or talking the bots. In 2019 I would meet people basically at random, send one or two text messages seeing if they wanted to go out, and that's it. Every courtship indicator I've seen, has dropped tremendously in the age of social media. I recall my first relationship partially failed because I was so afraid of what she'd post on my Facebook, and who would see what she posted. There's no need to introduce this extra stress and bullshit into your life.

I've never been diagnosed with ADHD, but I did find social media and online dating would become addictions for me, it wasn't making me feel happy.

Since I got so much time back from not using social media I was able to teach myself Python in 2019 and significantly increase my income. I went to tons of Meetup groups, found people willing and ready to chat me up, got set up on a date since I attended an alumni event.

I'm very much hoping things get back to somewhat normal this year, I'll also say for certain populations social media can be extra traumatizing. And at that point it comes down to, do you want to be called slurs and re-traumatized every single day. Or do you want to wake up and live. One of my partners I met just because I thought I saw her from someplace else, and we had fantastic fun. It wasn't something where like I felt I was owed a partner, but a gift was given to me. I hope I can always live life like that.
It's a practice that's so ingrained and so taken for granted that I suspect it will not change unless a big popular package gets hacked and the vulnerability effects a significant portion of apps written in a popular language like Javascript or Python.

And I'm not really arguing against vetting your dependencies or improving dependency management. I'm just saying in the real world, that if I made this particular imperfection in software development practices my hill to die on at work, there's a 99% chance it is not good for me or my career. So my options are, swim with the tide knowing we're doing things imperfectly, or fight an uphill battle for a more perfect world knowing that unless we avoid some major vulnerability every other Javascript developer falls victim to, there will be many eyes in my office staring over at me wondering if my extra caution is really worth the company's investment. If I keep my job at all.

I want to write great software, but to do that, I need to actually have a job writing software. And until I get a job at Google or Facebook or Amazon (none of those being places I've ever actually applied to) I am generally working in conditions without the resources to do the kind of dependency vetting we're talking about in this thread.
This is completely incorrect. Transactions are processed as part of mining. You cannot simply stop mining and continue doing transactions for free; the whole point of the mining process in a PoW cryptocurrency is that mined coins are given out as a reward for helping to secure transactions.
I mean, you're not wrong... but what else is there to talk about?

Fact of the matter is, your preferences depend on where you live, your lifestyle, and the amount of time you spend on date&time fuckery in code. It's a contentious issue.

No, but the way we measure value is so flawed that it can seem that way.

Consider how we define poverty.

Suppose we discover an as-yet unknown group of people who have been using traditional farming methods to sustain themselves in the same area for thousands of years.

How would you classify them economically? Are they in "abject poverty", the same as a group whose traditional means of sustenance have been destroyed and who rely on international aid? What distinction do we make?

It's the "bitcoin is good because I have it" narrative.

That doesn't make it an equitable or even workable economic system.
But that is absolutely not the point, and it is not a nitpick. The real argument is that Bitcoin has negative value if you include externalities, and that is not the case for most assets.

This is brilliant! Do you have any resources or thoughts to share on designing DSLs? Mad respect for people doing this.
I think his point is that the externalities outweigh the actual benefits, so bitcoin is only valuable so long as a bunch of people who've never heard of it continue to be the ones who end up with the environmental liabilities.
It’s a difference in structure and power balance.

The implication that if you think the queen has touristic value you must also think that Andres Breviks crimes were great is just a silly false equivalency.

That has a long list of exceptions. But regardless, that's not backing.

No it doesn't, the value of USD fluctuates every minute, and goes down significantly over time.

Once upon a time you could take your dollars to the government and exchange it for a fixed amount of gold. That was backing.
Sure, and the cost to Hasbro of making monopoly money could scale with its price if there were a market for it. But the inherent value of a monopoly dollar would not be dependent upon that cost.

When you say "the broader cost of bitcoin" you're talking about electricity right? Aside from the important fact that "cost" isn't "value", there are a couple problems with that. First of all, many people are finding arbs in energy (eg, you live or work in a dorm, lab, or other building where don't pay an electric bill) and using free electricity to mine. That provides liquidity/fungibility by contributing to transactions, without incurring any cost to the miner. Second, people and entities with large early reserves of bitcoin have an incentive to mine even when the energy cost is greater than the mining return, because a better functioning bitcoin is more likely to attract further inflows that impact the price upward.

A lot of the early adopters have either permanently lost their coins or sold it local maximums, very few people would have hold on to it that long. And you can argue that if they had that kind of strong belief, they should receive some rewards for it.

Unless BTC changes to a "proof of stake" model like the majority of other new cryptocurrencies that are out there, it will see a large chunk of its marketshare replaced.

There's already a big shift from BTC to more technically sophisticated solutions like Ethereum (ETH).

tThe newest protocols like Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT) are even more efficient in terms of number of transactions that can be securely handled per second.

Bitcoin also suffers from long wait times because you need to wait for the current block to be finalized. The sheer amount of electricity required just to confirm a transaction is not a viable long term solution for e-commerce.
I'm not sure what point you are making.

Yet, reviewing hundreds of thousands SLOCs (across different languages) and also checking legal compliance requires significant skills, time and efforts.

As an individual, you cannot justify reviewing the entire dependency tree across all your projects.

Thankfully you can rely on the packages reviewed and built internally by your colleagues - or use a Linux distribution that does thorough vetting.

I’m guessing if you are putting the $1000 on it’s own private charter jet, then maybe it would cost more than a single btc transaction.
> 1. No shared memory.

Isn't it rather "no synchronized data access"? Remote memory isn't a problem if you can read it in a synchronized fashion (taking locks and so on).

And actually "no synchronized information retrieval" is the default even on multithreaded, shared memory systems, which is why they're a lot like distributed systems. You can use mutexes and other synchronization primitives though, to solve some of the problems that just aren't solvable on a computer network, due to much higher latency of synchronization.
FreeBee: An AT&amp;T 3B1 emulator
First, your re-wording is doing much more than paraphrasing. There is legitimate science involved in calculating environmental impact that goes much further than just whatever tax governments implement to disincentivize using carbon.

Second, this definitely cannot be said about anything. There are plenty of products and industries that produce positive economic value _even with_ the environmental impact added.
Finding time for security when scaling
You can make any number seem small if you compare it to something arbitrarily larger.

That doesn’t make the original point invalid, though. Bitcoin’s energy usage is absolutely significant. In a world where we’re chasing a couple percent efficiency improvements here and there, it’s ridiculous that people are promoting a currency that literally incentivized people to perform wasteful computing operations on the scale of a medium sized country.
> Oil is ... worth something only if you can turn it into fuel, plastic or some other product for which there is demand. Same goes for gold.

You clearly don't understand what "intrinsic value" means if you believe this. The very fact it can be fabricated into something of value gives it some intrinsic value.
They can also enslave and kill you... Should they attack bitcoin, it would be acknowledging it's raison d'être.
Nuclear is its own complicated issue. If newer plants can replace that last 10-20% of power generation -- and can do so safely, and can do so within budget constraints, and can do so on a 5-year plan that turns into a 15 year project, and puts away sufficient money for its eventual decommissioning -- then that's fantastic.

But even without that, it's a smooth curve. The existing fossil fuel plants can cover base load, and will last long enough that they can be shut down when they're no longer needed. By the time we need to consider replacing them, technology will have shifted, and we can't really know whether we'll want to replace them with new fossil fuel plants, Nth generation nuclear, batteries, superconducting grids, or fusion. The timeline for shutting down all of the exiting fossil capacity is the same as the practical-fusion time scale.

The point is that there's no reason for the public to worry about base load. The planners have to, of course. But it's a problem with a solution, rather than a leap into the unknown.

Nuclear is a nice add-on, if it succeeds, and allows us to shut down fossil fuels faster, but it's not necessary and not the long pole in the tent of reducing carbon. Renewables are built much faster and will reduce much more carbon before the first new nuclear plant is completed.

I think it could be something like only the root module could import net, fs, os... then in order for modules to access those things the root module would need to pass it in explicitly. Of course if you don't import the module at all there is no access.

Of course JS isn't a great language for this. A malicious program could spider the object graph looking for something valuable. You would have to be very careful to keep these objects hidden. And a container library would have huge amounts of access with it needs none. (For example if you want to store a hashmap of open sockets)

A stronger typed language like Rust or Haskell could do better, as you container library can be prevented from casting T to File. However even that is not enough as you can just manually cast a pointer if you somehow know what type it is. (And there is a small amount of reflection that can do this even in safe code).

> No shared memory

I'm not sure that is entirely accurate. If you have a memcache cluster and all data is stored in there, you have shared memory. Albeit slow and subject to atomicity problems, it's still shared state.

It's also a bad idea to rely on that to run your app, so there is that. But it's possible to have shared memory if you're willing to accept the hit to reliability.
> Though there is also another factor which limits mining

That's what I meant when I wrote, mining may be limited by another resource limit. I dread a future, where technological progression is halted or slowed, because people need to dig into landfills searching for rare elements bound to overproduced electronics.

Look at all the compute thrown at heat generation instead of solving protein folding problems for all of humanity. What could be done with terawatts of electrical energy?

I think prolonging the usage of Bitcoin isn't stupid, but downright offensive. Your freedom ends, where my future begins.

Yeah, I guess I'm thinking "hobbyist", so team size of 1 and no monetization strategy. Simple game engine (preferably in Go or Rust or some similarly approachable language; my hobby time is to precious to be writing C/C++ again), but maybe getting into the nitty gritty of game engine is too low-level for the write-up that I'm thinking about. I don't have a specific idea for a game, but I'd probably like to putz around with top-down tilers a la Pokemon or Zelda.

Of course, no country, democratic or otherwise, will allow this to happen. The idea that you can have monetary policy exist outside of government control is a bit ludicrous. Government does still control the guns after all, and they can make anything they want illegal, as the US has done with gold in the past.
