Someone is getting this as an avatar. I don't know who, but it's gonna happen.
doesn't second life already have banner ads, some of which may or may not be dicks?

of course you want to pay for your bitcoin pizza with worthless fiat. remember that guy laszlo who paid 10k btc for a pizza? if he'd held onto those bitcoins, today they'd be worth nearly half a billion dollars to whoever ended up stealing his wallet

quote:

On Wednesday, Kickstarter plans to unveil a project that will merge the two worlds. It’s hatching a standalone company to build a crowdfunding system much like Kickstarter’s but based on blockchain technology. When it’s ready, Kickstarter will switch its own website to the new infrastructure, and the new company will make the tools available for anyone to create a competing crowdfunding site.

The new company does not yet have a name. Development is slated to begin in the first quarter of next year, and Kickstarter expects to transition its site to the new protocol sometime in 2022. The change will take place entirely behind the scenes and shouldn’t affect how people use the site, the New York-based company said.

Just a whole structure made of red flags

Kickstarter's a public benefit corporation so there's at least a chance of shooting this down on those grounds.

so what you're saying is it does absolutely nothing different or better, while making everything behind the scenes more complex, fragile and inefficient

it's important to understand that this isn't a failure of decentralisation. decentralised digital currencies are designed to withstand the end of fiat currency, the dissolution of the federal reserve system, the collapse of all global finance, and the resulting apocalypse. not bgp typos. totally different scenario

it is a personal insult that we were not consulted for or invited to this or the two other episodes of his shows where he's been making fun of bitcoins and nfts

but it was fun to revisit all of bitcoins greatest hits while someone else listened to him and could only react with "ugh this is so stupid"
