Faster it hits you the more addictive it is. IV heroin is more addictive than smoking heroin too.

Urban foxes

I’m not looking for work but make sure to reply to ever recruiter who tries to get me to move to London telling them I’m only interested in remote work 🫡

Worked in webdev for a decade before getting my cs degree so aye.

Have you always lacked foresight or was there some blunt trauma ?

They won’t need to build anything there will eventually be mature open source tooling that smaller artists and venues will start using, it’ll gain mindshare and become the standard. Or you can wait for ticketmaster to be included into a cbdc coming to a country near you soon. Going on the on-chain either way but it’d rather we took back control.

The parasitic middleman.

They only got those contracts because there was no alternative. Try to infer using your common sense next time. Lots of cities had contracts with taxi companies before uber. And some on chain app will eventually remove the remaining parasitic component.

You don’t need it because we have ticketmaster? That’s your argument lol? It’s to prevent the next one.

Why would Satoshi do this

Ransomeware is a pretty small segment. Much dodgier shit happens with cash.

PoW can be used to store energy. Geothermal farms in remote areas mining energy credits. Spending energy on important stuff is also fine. We spend much more on inane nonsense. US tumble dryers use more energy than bitcoin. Other countries just use drying racks

For now.

What about local exchange trading systems?

They do solve problems though. If there was a simple app that musicians could sell tickets direct to customers, you can loose all the predatory middlemen

Crypto is cypherpunk not cyberpunk.

You can create new alternative economic systems outwith existing monetary systems. Global mutual credit, local exchange trading systems, etc. There are plenty of solarpunks and leftists in crypto and have been since the start.
