Airplane drones are actually easier to automate because there's no obstacles or traffic in the air so telling the plane "go full throttle while pulling back on the yolk. Good, now dip your wings until you're facing waypoint one. Ok see ya" isn't difficult.

pinning your safety on big sky theory is a bold move, lets see how it plays out

Landing is tricky but if the drone is worthless enough just let it crash and fix it.

Right now it's mostly quadcopters, but many autonomous drones handle wind amazingly well with relatively simple control schemes. The bigger the aircraft, the easier it is to account for.

I wonder if there is a metric for the total real wealth gained vs wealth lost after sale. Seeing as how bitcoin is not a real money i want to see how much actual money people have collectively gained after they sold it for profit or at a lost.

I know some people have made out but is the money gained more than the total money lost.

Do coiners just keep all thier coin? Are they playing that market and selling like 1 at a time it at profit? At a lost?

Wtf are you doing with this poo poo that makes it whatever price your asking for it.

we can set an upper bound, the maximum potential loss across the entire ecosystem is equal to the price paid for currently held coins by all current holders plus the total cost of all electricity and equipment ever used to mine minus the face value of all existing tether.

Forget spendable money, what percentage return does salt have on paper, anyway? Unless you're incredibly lucky and bought at the lowest of lows and did not sell through everything, with bitcoin's recent highs, it's probably something like x2-x5. Hate to break it to you, but I've had several stocks that have done x5, including one that did about x10 in only several months after they were bought out by a pharmaceutical conglomerate which means - gasp - everyone who held got a payout not from other greater fools, but from a multi-billion dollar company as hard cash deposited in their accounts. Sure, buying BTC when it was $3k would have been nice, but it would have been nicer if I did not sell AMD at $15 when I bought it at $3 and kept it until $120. You can still make gainz without the crypto bullshit, without setting your hopes on artificial pumps and Musk tweets.
