I’m surprised the game companies themselves aren’t interested in these projects.

Seems like easy money to just decompile a retro game, add some quality of life improvements and stick it on steam.

Are their hands tied by legal or what other factors are preventing this?

I always assumed these wallets were never meant to be withdrawn. In the case of satoshi’s - it’s public proof that the Bitcoin network is still secure.

He was openly maga and a homophobe and a transphobe. I wouldn’t consider these qualities for a role model.

Agree. I’m finding quite a lot of success with AI but i’m writing detailed prompts. In turn the LLM’s are producing 99% error free massive refactors.

No one but seniors with years and years of experience is producing like that. As evidenced how much the juniors i work with struggle to do the same

You’re right. Let’s wait for it to pump 20% before we buy. Lol what?

That isn’t something you can categorically say for sure though. If it hits 125k next month then Bitcoin does go up over the long term. Same if it hits 125k next year.

This can’t be a serious comment. If ww3 starts the respective countries central banks will keep the gold for themselves. You are so naieve if you think any government is going to honour the fact that you have a piece of paper that saya you own some gold in their vault.

I do not buy into the idea that “everyone did it then it must have been a good idea”.

We’ve already seen the negative side of fiat currencies in how they eventually collapse (Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Argentina) and even in more developed countries wages have not kept up with inflation. Money is trending to zero People are trending to destitution.

We saw it recently in the UK - where public sector workers were not given pay rises because the government argued it would fuel inflation. So how does that even make sense.

This argument falls apart when you consider technology though. And even daily essentials. No one would not buy food and water because they can get more in future. They need it now.

The same goes for technology. We all know next year’s iPhone will be better than this year but we still buy them…because we need them now.

I’d argue inflation’s incentives are worse - the constant need to invest/spend so that your money doesn’t lose value. It means money flows into anything and everything like zombie companies, over consumption, property. Those on the poorest end are just trapped because as soon as they get any money it starts depreciating.

Has it ever been worthless (post pizza guy). There’s always been someone who will give you some fiat for them.

And this has proven successful in many countries such as Zimbabwe, Venezuela, and Argentina

I see it as the ultimate honeypot. If those coins haven’t moved yet the network is secure.

Are you talking from experience with DoorDash or Deliveroo? This has not been my experience with Deliveroo in London, UK. There’s just no way I could get the same food quicker, everyone is on motor/pedal bikes so delivery is usually about 20-30 minutes. Food is always hot on arrival bar the odd item (Nandos chips specifically, always cold).

Also I’m ordering Deliveroo specifically so I can get the time back, that’s the price you’re really paying - I had a long day at work and I want the time to relax and not spend it sourcing and making dinner.

Do you not just write code that’s backwards compatible?e.g an api deployment should not break the front end. The api changes should work on the old front end and the updated front end that uses the api change.

Maybe most people can get all their work done in 4 hours so sitting in an office for 8 is pointless

It’s easy to put those two pieces of information together and arrive at crypto bad.

I think it’s worth noting that bitcoin uses a fraction of the energy required to mine gold for example.

It’s also a driving force in renewables, by stabilising energy grids (mining can use the spare capacity during quiet periods and switch off during peak hours).

So I don’t think it’s as black and white as “bitcoin uses energy = bad”

Will we see as much outrage about this as Bitcoin has received about its supposed energy use?

Sounds like an issue with your team rather than graphql

And maybe that's fine? Look at it from the opposite side. All those artists complaining about how terrible macbooks are because you can't draw on them.

The app itself looks very basic and cheap. Can copilot really not do this? I have no idea because I don't use Tailwind but copilot knows the depths of some obscure npm libraries so I would assume so.

If the value of the reserve money is $2b one year and it deflates to $3b the next, does that mean you can print more fiat every year? Sounds like an attractive proposition to me

And fiat...!

> Nobody was going to wait 30 min for a transaction to complete

Depends on the transaction. To buy coffee? Of course not, but there are transactions that can take hours or days to clear.

No there is a hard limit of 21m Bitcoins. You can't just "print more".

Yes it's possible to trade "paper bitcoins" but if you don't own the underlying asset you are always at risk of being found out and not being able to cover the amount.

So what, it's "play by our rules or get bombed" ?

This article speaks to me a lot. I played FF7 Remake when it released on PS+ in ‘21 thinking I didn’t enjoy JRPG’s.

From there i played the entire collection - the ps1 version, crisis core, advent children, and then remake again.

Those months were fantastic - either playing, listening to the soundtrack, thinking about materia combinations. And it’s likely to consume another 3 months of my life when Rebirth releases.

Take the following scenarios:

1) solar storm destroys your country. It would wipe the traditional finance sector. Servers. Backups. Records. All destroyed. How do we restore everyone’s wealth to what is was?

2) solar storm destroys your country. You hold bitcoin so you either wait for electricity to be restored. Or migrate to another country.

Pretty poor article that has the usual Bitcoin bingo points - criminals and terrorism (because that didn’t exist before 2009?) and volatility.

It misses more interesting aspects or theories about bitcoin - it’s scarcity or how it supposedly incentivises clean energy.

It also misses an obvious reason it’s pumping which is the looming approval of the ETF’s supposedly in January.

I'm curious as to why BCH is not a ponzi vs BTC given the former is a fork of the latter - so they pretty much work the same way apart from a larger block size.

It has a shopping mall (singular) and is surrounded by tons and tons of residential buildings. Seems odd to drop a giant sphere and 60k tourists in such a residential heavy area.
