it uses different characters because it was invented in the mid-19th century before hexadecimal numbering with letters was standardized.

Oh man that kid's tonal numbers homework made me really, really sad. Little guy's never gonna be able to figure out real loving numbers if they spent their entire childhood learning archaic base-16 bullshit. I mean even when they hopefully flee as far away from their hosed-up dad as they can and try to learn base-10 stuff to be able to function in society at even a basic level it will always be massively harder for them since their brains won't be squishy anymore, like learning a second language as an adult except instead of a language it's how math works. :smith:

During one of my school vacations, I went to a space-themed bible camp thing.

Okay, I lied, it wasn't a camp, I got to go home at night.

I don't remember much about it but I don't remember enjoying being at my school and doing quizzes while I was on vacation, despite the space theme.

our school had a "calculus camp" for a week during the school year if you were in one of the AP courses, but it was actually really awesome. Instead of 5 days of a normal school week we screwed around in the woods and made huge bonfires and did two hours of calculus each day. That's twice as much calculus as a normal day, but no other classes plus actual camp, so it was great overall

quote:

February 24, 2015
Adam Tepper, CEO of the Australian Bitcoin market Independent Reserve, has a lot to say about Bitcoin. He speaks from the position of a long-time industry observer that has grown to admire the tenacity of this fledgling but thriving ecosystem. The Bitcoin technology has earned its recognition slowly but surely even midst a seemingly continuously falling bitcoin price. In a discussion paper on Bitcoin and digital currencies released by Independent Reserve, Tepper observed that Bitcoin both has come a long way and has a long way to go still:

“At the moment, the price of Bitcoin is very susceptible to any kind of change or news, but this will diminish as Bitcoin becomes more mainstream, there are more users, and the infrastructure continues to solidify. Bitcoin will continue to fluctuate in the immediate future but the swings will reduce over time.”

Independent Reserve Believes in Bitcoin
I absolutely agree. Over the last year we have seen reddit post after tweet after forum thread asking why X piece of news didn’t cause the bitcoin price to either go to the moon or crash into the ocean. Gone are the days of bouncing corpse jokes. We have already seen the trend that Tepper has described so adequately. Bitcoin will always fluctuate because it is not fixed. There is no disappearing price floor, which is somewhat like a convoluted and unmaterialized currency peg if you really think about it. However, especially over the last year, the Bitcoin price has maintained more or less a steady trajectory. Of course, the trajectory during that timeframe has been mostly down and around. Much to the lament of newly-tech-savvy get-rich-quick schemesters, the lack of humongous drops in the bitcoin exchange rate on failing exchanges is also accompanied by the lack of the bull runs of yore.

Why doesn’t the bitcoin price fluctuate and move as much as it used to? What will ignorant “tech” journalists write about to stay relevant after failing to predict Bitcoin’s demise for the umpteenth time? The most important development in the Bitcoin ecosystem during the last two years doesn’t make it all the way to your local Fox News channel the way that Ross Ulbricht’s recent conviction might have. Bitcoin has attracted the attention of some of the most forward-thinking venture capitalists in the world. The visionaries that saw the potential in the products that you are using today are into Bitcoin. Those that developed the concepts and actions that are second nature to you today but were completely unthinkable to you ten years ago – things like tweeting. sharing, posting, and tagging – are into Bitcoin. As Tepper says:

“It has some powerful backers, including Sir Richard Branson, Bill Gates, and venture capitalist Tim Draper, who bought XBT 30,000 seized from Silk Road auctioned by the US Marshalls for around USD 19 million.”

Draper has since bought another large chunk of bitcoin outside of the US Marshall’s auction setting. Tim Draper’s son, Adam Draper, is leading Boost Venture Capitalist accelerator/incubator into its fifth Bitcoin class. Each of Boost VC’s supported Bitcoin companies gets access to an industry-leading team of consultants and advice along with 300 BTC in addition to the normal $10,000 to $20,000 in fiat currency exchanged for equity.

The vast amount of new Bitcoin startups moving to San Francisco to join up with helping hands such as Boost VC or Plug and Play are just one side of the growing Bitcoin ecosystem. Around the world, new services such as Independent Reserve are rising up as many founders are leaving their positions in the old guard of fin-tech to tread into new and unexplored territory. As both users and employees leave banks for the Bitcoin world, there is no doubt that the future is bright. Expect to see more high-profile signs that Bitcoin is beginning to chip away at existing financial systems, which are by and large inefficient and out of date.

Tepper finished with these salient words:

“There’s no doubt that the traditional banking and payments systems will fight to maintain their dominance of the markets. But as consumer demand continues to grow, we will see Bitcoin integrating more and more into the financial ecosystem. Significant progress will be made this year, and by new year 2016 we will see Bitcoin far more prevalent among mainstream users.”
Salient words from Mr. Tepper, he is truly the wisest man in the bitcoin economy. we'll be hearing from him for a long time.

February 28, 2015
The body of Adam Tepper, 34, was found in Sai Yuan Junction on Wiset Road below a destroyed traffic sign. The motorbike Mr Tepper was riding was about 30 meters away.

Mr Tepper was not wearing a helmet and struck his head on the sign – he died instantly,” said Capt Thada Sodarak of the Chalong Police.

“I believe he was moving very fast at the time of the crash, as part of the sign pole was buried a meter underground, and it was pulled out by the impact.”

Mr Tepper’s body was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital.
