Building on Bitcoin — Latest Developments

Why not build on Ethereum etc.? In my last article, “Why Proof-of-Stake Doesn’t Work”, I went over some of the main reasons why the new engine driving Ethereum defeats its own purpose by pegging the security of the network to the price of the token it produces. Without going into too much detail, here’s the…

Proof-of-Stake is Useless. Here’s why…

Proof of Stake: The Free Lunch — In this article, I’m going to delve into the topic of Proof-of-Stake on Ethereum and explore whether or not it is a viable alternative to Proof-of-Work, the consensus mechanism used in Bitcoin. As it turns out, Ethereum is broken. But how is it that cryptos such as Ethereum so consistently…

For Your Protection… and other Censorship Lies

You have three mice in a maze; their goal is to escape. The concept of this game is intuitively understandable because we all play it every day, more or less. The mice’s prerogative is as follows: Explore falsity (incorrect paths, dead ends etc) to discover the truth (the correct path) …

Bitcoin is a Bad Investment

Jeremy invests in many things, often unsuccessfully. Becoming increasingly unenthused, Jeremy looks for something a little outside the parameters of ‘traditional’ investments. He hears that Bitcoin is changing the foundations of the monetary system and has been the best-performing asset of the past decade. …

Fiat is Broken

Value is relational. Something is only valuable in the context of something else. For instance, coffee isn’t valuable; it’s valuable to you. In this sense, value is very dynamic. If you change the object of value or the subject of value, the value itself will change. Value makes the world…

Where is All the Bitcoin?

People are intimidated by Bitcoin, and how can you blame them when answers of this level of ambiguity are the standard: Where is Bitcoin actually stored? Everywhere, but nowhere in particular. When you send it, what path does it travel? It doesn’t travel. When it’s lost, where does it go…

Bitcoin Is Not Normal.

Preface: So in a previous blog post titled: Why You Wont Profit From Crypto (The Anatomy of a Crypto Cycle), I mentioned my belief that putting Bitcoin and altcoins in the same basket, when considering investment decisions, is inaccurate.
