funny how many big brains work in crypto

and after 16 years the most successful application is:

the dollar on a blockchain

Nordics are walking back the cashless society initiative because their centralized implementation of the concept is too fragile. Cash turns out necessary as a backup.

Ethereum needs to be resilient enough, and private enough, to be able to credibly play this kind of role.

@RenIsLyfe @dopetard @hashflownetwork @renprotocol This is interesting but unless there’s a good degree of decentralization I don’t see why it’s any better than ripple or binance dex where all nodes are run by the same entity and therefore centralized.

What Hashflow is proposing doesn’t require a bitcoin token issuance.

@RenIsLyfe @dopetard @hashflownetwork @renprotocol Last I remember, Renvm was using Shamir scheme to distribute the secret required to spend the BTC on bitcoin blockchain among several nodes and then using those locked funds to issue a btc token.

Chart from fall 2014, when Bitcoin was $300, predicted price of $10k for today —Nov 22nd, 2017. We're at $8,000. Next milestone on chart: $100k in summer 2021.

Updated: great math model of several important aspects of Bitcoin. A better way to reason about blockchain security.

New video! Ever wonder how Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) actually work? https://t.co/1Ov0Hc328f

I agree, though I have a strong preference for cryptographic smart contract architectures (such as UTXO) over computational smart contracts… https://t.co/ck8gHtRtop

1. I absolutely do not wish ill on bitcoin, and I hope that it continues to prosper. Satoshi *is* after all the father of cryptoeconomics.

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

1. This is me socially precommitting that I will not be an advisor for future ICO projects.
