Kazamai··on The Allure of Small Towns for Big City Freelancers
If I could only find a remote job...
Kazamai··on Bitcoin Visa debit cards are cancelled
Have you tried to sell millions of dollars worth of bitcoin to USD? As soon as there is a down day the exchanges shutdown and stop people from trying to withdraw. The money to cash out billions doesn't exist. All these headlines of founders being billionaires is false. $1.5 billion fake USD pumped crypto. Good luck to anyone holding millions of dollars trying to cash out when the market turns downward. This is adult musical chairs. There will be millions of bag holders and rich exchange criminals.

Tether
Kazamai··on Bitcoin Visa debit cards are cancelled
The liquidity to sell to fiat is drying up after many are realizing the valuations for crypto are completely fraudulent. There is an astronomical amount of centralized crypto printing going on that has corrupted the entire crypto ecosystem. Tether just wrote in their legal terms that as a of January 1st tether can't be redeemed or used by Americans even though it backs USD. Corrupt exchanges inflated the prices and issued worthless tokens to buy bitcoin then sell it to main street. This is Bernie Madoff x 10,000.

Looks very bubbly. Would be interesting to see what bubbles pop

Ban ban ban
Kazamai··on YouTube Demonetization Screenshot Leaks and Secret YouTube Meeting
If I was a company buying lots of ads on YouTube, I definitely would not want them next to any channel like leafy or any other troll spam channel.
Kazamai··on The Case for Not Being Born
Anyone else think that suffering is the means to the end. Eventually through enough suffering, such as climbing a mountain (or building a country) then suffering diminishes. Won't the end game be like Elysium in thousands of years of suffering?
Kazamai··on Tether Critical Announcement
Trust in exchanges is what keeps Bitcoin prices up. This is bad for Bitcoin and all digital assets.
Kazamai··on Tether Critical Announcement
If you have money on bitfinex, get it out now~
Kazamai··on The Bitcoin bubble – Greater fool theory
Someone care to explain how forks / clone coins are not the same as money printing. The motivation behind them are the same. Greed. I would have imagined the value of Bitcoin would have went down a lot after every copy
Kazamai··on The Bitcoin bubble – Greater fool theory
If you are holding now then I would be worrying about how to get it all out in cash a.s.a.p
Kazamai··on Why We Terminated Daily Stormer
I reported a website for human trafficking a year ago, which is still online and protected by cloud flare. I referenced parts of the forum to their staff where users mentioned enjoying raping women. Their response, "I don't see anything wrong with this content".
Kazamai··on If borders were open
This is only a good idea if we ignore that a billion people would migrate in a few months in an attempt to escape poverty. The results would be catastrophic.
Kazamai··on NASA admits it doesn’t have the funding to land humans on Mars
I don't see the purpose of landing people on Mars. Just to say, "we did it". Wouldn't it be a much more rewarding goal to research and execute systems that could send humans one way to planets in our galaxy. Even seeding organisms on other planets in the hope that they evolve into intelligent life.
Kazamai··on Snap Jumps in Debut After App Maker Raises $3.4B in IPO
Ignorance is bliss in a world where half the people at YC could develop the core snap chat app in a week.
Kazamai··on [dead]
This is a joke. The keys are generated not stored. And searching your own private key would be very stupid, since the service can log all searches and then steal your bitcoin (if they wanted to).
Kazamai··on Western Union admits to aiding wire fraud, to pay $586M
Western Union has also been aiding international fraud from romance scammers etc. Even though they know the sources are suspicious they still let people send large amounts of money to countries like Ghana and Nigeria.
Kazamai··on $718K penalty against M.C. Dean for blocking Wi-Fi devices (2015)
Would it not be under the authority of a privately owned building to regulate their own Wi-Fi or radio signals?

For example, a movie theatre, airport or hospital could all have good reasons to block radio signals.

Kazamai··on Donald Trump Is Elected President
I see a lot of comment saying "the USA cannot do this x,y,z because we don't have oil money to back it". USA is in the top three oil producers now at 10 million barrels a day. Yes even that won't cover the total cost for free health care or free education, but that is still a huge amount of money. More importantly, the amount of money the US government has wasted could have paid for the above. Trillions of dollars have been burned on Quantitative Easing and other ridiculous stimulus. And the result was over capacity in oil production and debt that can never be repaid. Instead of hundreds of billions burned, the US government could have given every unemployed individual a whole new education.
Kazamai··on Shame on Y Combinator
Really naive to think that supporting a political party and supporting Trump are the same. Of course, Peter Thiel does not support the BS that Trump says. It would be a huge contradiction coming from the same man that took down Gawker. If there was no single reason why people are supporting Trump, it is American's version of Brexit, by voting Trump people are protesting the massive economic chaos in the USA. They aren't hoping Trump will fix it. The opposite, they are hoping Trump will fail miserably, which will effectively hit the reset button on the American economy.
Kazamai··on Alleged hacker Lauri Love to be extradited to US
The US should give him a job hacking China
Kazamai··on Why there is no Facebook killer: the death of the P2P dream (2014)
If P2P is dead, does that mean that 99% of cryptocurrency traffic go through server farms?
Kazamai··on Lessons from a 45-year Study of Super-Smart Children
There is a characteristic not mentioned that can determine if someone will reach a high level or not. Self gratification or the ability to delay self gratification. The "marshmallow kid", even a gifted kid that cannot fight their own human condition to seek a dopamine reward from eating, entertainment, etc can't reach their potential. If you got a reward from problem solving and knowledge acquisition then it wouldn't take much to focus.

Why can we focus for hours gaming, but when it comes to solving a math problem, most of us will never start or stop shortly after.

Kazamai··on The Drug of Choice for the Age of Kale
Short circuiting your brain is not the path to spirituality, therapy or enlightenment.
Kazamai··on Microsoft to acquire LinkedIn for $26B
Good idea to buy LinkedIn, but for $26 BILLION!

Isn't that a million times earnings? Way, way over valued. You could hire a team and ad agency to make a better LinkedIn for $10 million...

Kazamai··on It’s cheaper to build multiple native applications than one responsive web app
I guess he hasn't heard of React Native...
