I have a coworker that recently told me I should invest in bitcoin, but he also has a binder of magic cards that he is hoping will appreciate in value so he can sell them. Also I thought it was difficult to actually turn your bitcoins back into real money?

Costa Rica or Panama are where I'm planning on retiring. Just need to learn Spanish and I'm good!

Spanish is just loud slow English, yes?

It's amazing to me that Tether 24 hour volume is constantly greater than the other top five together.

I'm taking a course on operating systems and in one of our discussion post assignments one of the other students posted something about a blockchain OS. Isn't blockchain just a distributed ledger? How do you turn that into software, especially software as complex as an OS? How do you keep it secure?

Is there any actual use case for blockchain technology that isn't better served by something else? Currency is clearly not it nor is anything that utilizes private or sensitive data. It also can't be edited after the fact right? I am having a hard time thinking of any actual use for this resource hungry technology.
