Does the customer on the $40 plan think it unfair he pays for more resources than the customer on the $20 plan?

It will all make it to n-gate.com. Don't worry.

Predictions?

On balance, anyone remote before the pandemic and traveling the world has probably had a better life than someone with the same skills making double the salary in SV. Just the reduction in poop on sidewalks speaks for itself.

Apparently this comment triggered someone lol.

It's very exciting. So far Brave is not so popular in the cryptocurrency space compared to its peers. That will change I'm sure.

Ah, "generally" excludes a country with 330 million people. Got it.

From the Austrian food survey study:

> Our results revealed that a vegetarian diet is related to a lower BMI and less frequent alcohol consumption

Wouldn't you say lower BMI is healthier?

I thought the answer would be laser hair removal for rich people like this guy.

How many? What is the transaction volume like compared to Ethereum, Bitcoin, BSC, etc?

I think people generally want to enjoy their lives. I have a friend that keeps his house at 60F in the winter. I think you can argue that I'm not going to die at those temperatures or experience hypothermia. It's quite unpleasant nonetheless. During the summer if it's hot indoors I feel miserable and tired.

A lot of us could live a more simple life (i.e. no cars, fewer children). But humans are attracted to comfort and the ability to pursue their dreams.

The terms of many of these auctions give a percentage of the sale to the original creator. I don't know the terms but it's possible Mike Winkelmann got quite a bit from the resale.

Actually, Brave gets a lot of hate here.
ketamine__··on Coinbase mafia shows how tight a circle holds sway over Bitcoin
Big industry means lots of jobs. They were right to bail them out. Are we supposed to let the car industry die on principle if it causes a massive amount of destruction? China wouldn't let it happen.

Taking that a bit further many startups have raised a traditional round before an ICO. Since ICO's are so popular I think one could argue that they don't need to do this. Are they loyal to the VC's or the token holders?
ketamine__··on Ethereum Isn't Fun Anymore
It's sort of a chain letter. You already have to be in the game pretty deep to think these are revolutionary.

I will offer some criticisms:

Aave - Earning interest on a speculative asset with counter party risk seems a bit silly. Most of the risk is bundled in the asset itself. If you invested $1,000 in a token as a small percentage of your retirement portfolio you're probably hoping the return is 20x. In this incredibly logical scenario 2% is meaningless.

Uniswap - It's cool if you trade tokens because it skips the extra step of sending the asset to a centralized exchange, trading it, and withdrawing it. The centralized scenario might actually be cheaper. Either way it's only impressive if trading tokens is impressive. And at this point it's not.

Cool domain name.
ketamine__··on Bitcoin's vast energy use could burst its bubble
Yeah, but every blockchain that isn't used much has fast transactions. And even with smart contracts they will be missing layer 2. It's a long time to wait.

Cardano doesn't have smart contracts yet. How many years has it been? How can they still be top ranked?
