I see. Could you elaborate on that at all? What are the claims vs. the reality? How is power concentrated to those with more money? Genuinely interested.
Crypto is vast my friend. It is not a financial system per se. At its core it is tools for human coordination which, by necessity contains a financial system.
It is indeed an experiment but it's a little premature to say that it has failed. The cake is still in the oven.
It's true that plenty of crypto projects have failed. That's to be expected in a bleeding edge experimental space. People try things out and sometimes they fail. That's how it works. There are however, plenty of projects that are still going strong fueled by very talented developers working tirelessly to address all of your criticisms. It just takes time. This is complex stuff. It's the merging of cryptography, economics and computer science among other things. It's going to take a little while.
The ease of piracy. Literally type whatever you want into any search engine.
Sure. Why the hell not?
I like golf.
It's super challenging, which I find fun. I like that I can slowly get better at it and watch myself progress but probably never really master it. Plus, it's a really great way to get outside and do something with some friends or even some strangers.
I hate the elitist, racist, and sexist origins of the game but, like all bad ideas they're becoming extinct. Sexism and racism have been pretty much eradicated from the sport compared to the time of it's inception.
I play on courses that are reasonably priced and open to anyone and I have plenty of options. I'm not even remotely wealthy and neither are any of the people I play with. Equipment can be expensive but it doesn't have to be.
Almost every passtime requires some space and often some level of infrastructure needs to be built and maintained. Think about swimming pools and hockey rinks, not to mention giant stadiums built for only a few professional teams to play in. Hardly anyone is mad about those things, and the list goes on.
I get hating the rich. I get hating something because it's perceived as something that only rich people do but that's not really the reality here. Sure, rich people play golf but only about a quarter of courses are private so maybe there are actually way more poors like me playing. What do you think?
It could be both.
The hottest 12 months in the past 125,000 years...so far.
I love how the dude uses phrases that he picks up earlier in the film.
"This aggression will not stand"
"You mean, coitus?"
There are a bunch more but those 2 immediately spring to mind.
It depends on what exactly you are intending to do. Ethereum might not be out of the question. While it's true that under certain circumstances transaction fees can get quite high, at the moment they are quite reasonable and have been for quite some time. They tend to only shoot up to outrageous levels during a bull market or when something get's hyped up and released on the chain. Other than that it usually ok. The thing about other, cheaper chains is that they tend to be less secure. You never know when something unforeseen might happen which could cost you money. Not that Ethereum is immune to that sort of thing but it does have a pretty decent track record in that regard.
To try to actually answer your question, I think Solana has pretty cheap transactions. Maybe cardano. Binance chain, Tron, Avalanche, the list goes on. The only problem is, there isn't a heck of a lot going on on these chains so far.
Yep, experimentation is the essence of fucking around. But also finding out. Maybe I'm wrong here. Maybe it's somewhere in the middle.
I know it's not symmetrical, but personally, I would consider "test with experiment" part of the fuck around phase.
