The phenomenon of “mathcoins” – Fancy tech and academic obscurantism

I wish there was a good place for news about crypto/blockchain stuff that talk about stuff other than price action. Yeah it's cool. That some coin is up x percent, but I am interested in why. There are so many cryptocurrencies that are just cash grabs that the genuine innovation gets lost.

Haskell asked the question of what programming would be like if you were not allowed to have side effects anywhere, and it led to a unique language that doesn't feel like anything that existed prior. With so many new blockchain projects being spun up, where can I find out about the ones that are going to try something crazy just to see what can be learned, even if it means never expanding beyond the niche it carves out?

I stopped reading after 5 or 6 tweets, pretty much when she started talking about politics and politicizing Bitcoin, and assuming all Bitcoin users share the same political beliefs.

Sounds like a rant to me.

Cool. Now do fiat.

We don’t want things to be this way either. But they are.
