1/ Never underestimate the importance of infrastructure and how it can change the world. Rome built the network of good roads (some of which still stand to this day) and built the biggest empire in the world.
@BoringSleuth Love the C part as everything is a public ledger. So yeah they will put their most secret operations in public view so we all can see them. Finally follow the money is available to all.
We still have no euphoria in the market, no one taking portfolio pictures, no lambos, no yachts, no one quitting work, no real celebrities pushing scams, no pictures of a rolex.
We are still early and that’s a beautiful thing.
Raise targets.
I expect a few more weeks of pumps before a larger correction occurs.
What happened today on $BTC is normal when market is heating up.
After that - a funding reset and another strong, months-long run across the board, with new highs for $BTC.
@nikzh Was it ever scalable? Is any block chain? Or it needs to spread its load around so the popularity doesn't smother it? I find it kinda funny. The more used the chain is the more useless it can become.
@TXMCtrades As long as you can divide the underlying community in any setting and let them fight each other you can do pretty much whatever the fuck you want while in power.
@GwartyGwart That might backfire one day as it gives ammo and justification for regulators. $SOL is centralized so that's the weakest point. It just means one day an agency will knock on the door and have a court order to make the devs turn the chain off.
@AndreusLV @AutismCapital If we would switch all power to nuclear then the nuclear fuel we have available now on earth would last us around 2.5years. It is a very rare and very finite resource.
This is what will matter 1000 years from now.
Not your politics. Not your stupid tantrums about who platformed who on some website. Not your incomprehensible desire to send NASA's entire budget to the third world.
This guy reignited the Space Age.
He spent his own money, hired a bunch of dudes, and reignited the Space Age. And together, they underbid and outdid NASA and its pet dinosaur corporations on every conceivable level.
This is history happening before you.
If you are a puddlefish, if you think this is a wasteful showpiece or science project, then you don't understand physics, economics, astronomy, or in fact the basic layout of the universe you live in.
We live in a tiny puddle at the bottom of a well.
Out there is an entire universe, full not only of stuff to explore, but full of stuff to build things out of.
Big things. Wonderful things. Things that are going to make all of the cool stuff you have today, all of human civilization to date look like early Assyrians writing stuff down on wet clay with a reed.
Infinite resources. Infinite energy. Infinite space.
Instead of fighting over little patches of land, we will have an infinite 3d volume. Enclose it in steel, pump it full of air, spin it, and it's a habitat.
Instead of scratching tiny scraps of metal out of the crust of one planet, we will break down entire asteroids and smelt them.
Instead of drilling for hydrocarbons and turning water wheels, we will harness entire suns, split the atom, and eventually draw our fuel from the substance that makes up 99% of the entire universe.
None of your local, temporal Earth politics matter compared to this. This is more important than pride parades and abortions, more important than tribal conflicts in eastern Europe and southwest Asia, more important than tensions with Russia and China.
More important, in the long run, than the United States of America.
America's most important function, its one most vital purpose, is to serve as an incubator for this.
Because this changes everything.
All of our arguments about conditions on this planet become obsolete, because the whole planet becomes just one suburban neighborhood.
All of our wars over resources and territory become obsolete, because no one has time to brawl when we're all sitting on top of a dragon horde with sacks and shovels.
Everyone who was alive at the time remembers where they were when Kennedy died in Dallas. When the towers fell. When the Eagle landed. When the Wall came down.
But this... this is the real moment, one of the first of many. They are what every child will know about a thousand years from now, even if they have four arms and are genetically engineered for zero-g, or are sentient blocks of code running on a sphere of computronium enclosing an entire star.
You may not live to see that, depending on what we do or don't invent, and when.
But it will happen, and you will live to see wonderful things.
If the puddlefish don't get in the way.
Don't be a puddlefish.
@minchoi Crushed two actresses during filming. I bet there will be "you have 10 seconds to comply" moments before we figure out proper safety to functionality ratio.
