Thanks for the Lemmy original, nice touch!

It can write really buggy Python code, so… Yeah, seems promising

Yeah it’s gotten a lot of praise lately and I found the movie a bit drab and jarring. I might need to re-watch it

House and House II are classics, nice to see a human with some taste

I think the original comment might be referring to the fact that the US wouldn’t allow it even if it were the current sitting president’s stance. See the last 50 years for references

Any archive link?

This project looks very cool, I hope it comes to be

I am okay with that, although not sure if I would have another opinion under different circumstances

Source?

That must mean there will be close to 4x the stuff in it!

Probably not more for wages or ingredients, but more for CEOs and need to appease stock holders so their behavior will be different than a small shop, no matter what the scale

Right? “Local spots have better quality, better prices and better interactions” ™

I think the creators had some knowledge of how currency worked, since there has been movements to make digital money in the cryptopunk scene for 20+ years before BTC. Also, you don’t need a degree to be an economist, a library card works just as good

Having a fixed supply might reduce astronomical debts but still allow for smaller debts or ones that are collateralized. But yeah, day to day life would be drastically different. No credit cards for sure, but also no compound interest, because can’t have compounding interest on anything with a fixed supply or it will acquire all of the resource (or at least attempt to)

Yay, higher prices to offset the theft and increased surveillance!

Traceability might be nice since the black market is estimated around 20T USD. Cuts out bad actors which means no fraud, and no hidden inflation since we can see the quantity compared to USD which the Federal Reserve doesn’t even know

I think the idea of cryptocurrency is funny, since it’s just “I’m not playing your make believe money anymore, so we’ll pay our own make believe money since you are obviously rigging the system”. Kinda makes sense if adoption keeps up and the planet isn’t on fire

Totally. Get a PSU? Or use solar with a PSU. Or batteries. Always a mitigation for the mitigation lol

Well, if it’s not on a WiFi network, it’ll be fine. CCTV is a great example of this. Just wire up some cameras, encrypt the harddrive and put it somewhere difficult to get to. Only way to disable all cameras at once would be an EMP. There are kits for a few hundred $ and all the data stays local
