I take all cryptocurrency projects case by case. This one appears straight up as it's proposing an actual protocol and the associated token actually addresses a problem. Being YC backed ups its cred too.
But yeah, 95% of all ERC-20 tokens are BS.

It looks like a cool project too.
If you ever speak to Masako, please tell her she inspired an old geek in America.

I'm my own agent and an international network is the bank. Classical banking can't compete with that in the long run though I'm sure they'll still be of use.
We can't do that with classical banking.
The dollar's value derives, in great part, from the existence of the US military. It uses far more energy per year than Bitcoin does.
Bitcoin's energy usage seems a better deal. I doubt anyone would ever launch a war funded on Bitcoin.
Banks now: "lol jk. No Bitcoin for you."
Wikipedia is like a weird cult of powermad accountants.
“The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users.”
“We expect that advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers.”
“Advertising income often provides an incentive to provide poor quality search results.”
“Since it is very difficult even for experts to evaluate search engines, search engine bias is particularly insidious. A good example was OpenText, which was reported to be selling companies the right to be listed at the top of the search results for particular queries. This type of bias is much more insidious than advertising, because it is not clear who “deserves” to be there, and who is willing to pay money to be listed.” [0]
Can Wireguard be described as an encrypted, stateless, roaming, keypair based UDP tunnel?
No. Human beings who put money and control of land and resources over and above the welfare of other human beings are a threat to us all and always have been.
I wish sociopathic hypergreedy control freaks were viewed the same way we perceive pedophiles instead of being rewarded.
A lot of trade in the stock markets is based on similar dynamics: lack of clue on the investor's part, just go with what someone told you.
Bitcoin etc are currencies native to the network environment just as cash is native to the meatspace. Both have their advantages and shortcomings.
Wisdom is found in using things if they serve you and leaving them alone if they don't. Cash serves its purpose in the meatspace, cryptos serve their purpose on the network. Use them as they're useful.
I don't find it wise for anyone, Buffett or otherwise, to expound on things they don't know anything about. It's even less wise to take advice from those who speak from ignorance.

President of American Association of Buggy-Whip Manufacturers takes a strong stand against internal combustion engine, argues that the so-called “automobile” has “little grounding in theory” and that “results can vary widely based on the particular fuel that is used” [0]
