@hellome66678 @iamZatoshi The "tradition" of murdering a tree and setting it up in your living room is complete insane anyway.

@RyanSAdams Bitcoin works perfectly well on layer 1.

BTC doesn't.

«In this large epidemiological study in Chinese adults, higher fresh fruit consumption was associated with significantly lower risk of diabetes and, among diabetic individuals, lower risks of death and development of major vascular complications.»

@LynneSaunt @RNewstat @kevinnbass While that might sound plausible in your head, you might have forgotten that humans coevolved with fruit-bearing trees and plants in the tropical equatorial rainforests for tens of millions of years; there is ripe fruit available all year there.

@RNewstat @kevinnbass True, but apparently he has included various non-quacks too because they promote a way of eating he is clearly ideologically opposed to; viz. Esselstyn, Campbell, Ornish, Kahn, Hyman, Greger, and Barnard, all as evidence-based as it's possible to be.

[Nicholas Tidemann @NicholasTidem]

@kevinnbass Esselstyn, Campbell, Ornish, Kahn, Hyman, Greger, and Barnard do not belong on that list. They all converge on the same facts about human nutrition based on the mountains of scientific evidence available about human physiology, biochemistry, and our evolutionary origins.

@kevinnbass From animal studies, there seem to be chronic problems rather than benefits. Mice on long-term ketogenic diets develop diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hepatic steatosis over the course of 5-6 months: https://t.co/6shBl63n7g

Ketogenic diets only mimic the health benefits of fasting.

@joakim_holmer @m_murfy Seems like you got that backwards; that means you're a speculator, not an investor.

@RailroadedMI @AlexJoos3 @CalvinAyre @clint_dahn How is that relevant to my statement? XRP isn't a blockchain, and isn't based on mining; that's a fact. There is no PoW, and thus no Byzantine fault tolerance; in other words, it's fiat.

Why do financial institutions like fiat so much? I'll leave that one to you.

[Nicholas Tidemann @NicholasTidem]

@AlexJoos3 @RailroadedMI @CalvinAyre @clint_dahn XRP isn't a blockchain at all. It's no different from fiat.

[Nicholas Tidemann @NicholasTidem]

@justicemate @kilrcola Exactly; Bitcoin is built on game theory, and this is precisely the intended solution.

@BitcoinSofia @22centurycrypto Are you from Sofia, Bulgaria? I believe I read somewhere that the Bulgarian government owned several hundred thousand Bitcoin across all chains (pre-forks).

Fiat: lose 2% per year, in a consistent manner. Crypto: gain 50% per year, in a volatile manner. #bitcoin
