(Same for cocaine, compared to amphetamines) A century+ of making all the precursors as tightly controlled as the drugs themselves. In the unlikely event that fentalogues don't completely push agricultural heroin out of the market I expect the next big thing for both heroin and cocaine to be recombinant GM algae that produce the active compounds without all the big footprint big visibility farms. shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Jan 13, 2019 |

revwinnebago posted:What, are you trying to say major american banks tend to be way behind the times on technology? I mean it only took them like a decade to bring chip and pin to America, and they only started instituting well after the rest of the world had learned to hack chip and pin negating almost all the possible benefits. No no we got chip and signature, providing all the transistion costs with none of the benefits and a 500% slower transaction at the point of sale.

Andy Dufresne posted:This is much less impactful than you think. Like any change in Bitcoin, miners have to ratify it and the community has to decide that the new version is "the" Bitcoin. This effectively means there are no real changes to Bitcoin. There have already been several forks by people attempting to solve the numerous problems with the system and they all get laughed out of existence. The Craig wright fork would be no different.

You just gonna let these assholes walk all over your walled garden?" The message is very much telling these influencers it would be in their interest to make some calls and bring legislative pressure.

OzyMandrill posted:You do know that in filthy communist Europe there is an evil banking network that runs on trust and I can send money to any account just by logging into to my bank, or using their app, and it takes at most 2 hours to get there and costs me absolutely nothing? In fact, the bank even pays me the equivalent of several hundred dollars a year just to have my account with them. Even better, most of my regular bills get debited directly from my account, a service which costs me... less than nothing again because many places offer lower rates if you use this system. The bastards. The thing you have to understand about our dumb american system is that account-to-account transfers are pull-based, so the first step in paying someone is giving them a level of access where if they punch up an extra zero, it's coming out of your account. And your bank doesn't give a gently caress, that's just an opportunity for them to charge you fees for overspending. It's shameful that bitcoin was many people's first encounter with the concept of push-based transactions but for them, it was revelatory. shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Jun 20, 2021 |

Hihohe posted: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. 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.
