If they believe they can stop the future, they are wrong. Finally, let it be a reminder that just because a person is powerful and influential, rich and pedigreed, "educated" does not mean that they aren't an idiot.

Blockchains aren't secure at all.

>> No.8151967

Some problems with blockchain technology:

1) All data is REPLICATED and visible to all parties. Stop saying "but muh data protection" because literally with blockchain as a data structure all data is replicated everywhere.

2) Immutability of data. Makes things really bad in practice. Ie: lost my private key to my bank account -> can't ever recover my balance. Someone got my private key and stole all my funds? Can't do shit about it. Immutability comes with massive hardware storage costs. Currently the etherium blockchain is around 100 gigabytes, and etherium's transaction volume is miniscule compared to someone like Visa's. Imagine how big it will be in 20 years. That means if you want to setup a node (ie: a wallet) you will need to download the entire blockchain. Oh, you don't want to download the entire blockchain and will use a wallet service? So much for trustless.

3) If making the blockchain cryptographically secure via proof of work, every transaction must be verified by every node. Total energy consumed by the blockchain is probably quadratic with respect to number of nodes in the blockchain because each transaction is O(n) to verify and number of transactions in the blockchain is also proportional to number of nodes (in most cases, but application specific)

Which is exactly what many are
>That claim assumes that banks, which already use efficient systems to process millions of transactions per day, have reason to migrate to a markedly slower and less efficient single cryptocurrency.
The second statement doesn't follow from the first at all. Blockchain's status as a global computer doesn't assume anything about banks at all.
I suppose this is a generational thing but it's worth noting that he is profoundly fixated on the primacy of banks. Bank adoption is his litmus test for the legitimacy of cryptocurrencies, which demonstrates a profound naivete (or perhaps malicious misinterpretation) of the value of non-bank related forms of value. Ask Greek people who can only withdraw 200 Euros a day, or Venezuelan or Zimbabwean people whose runaway inflation has made local fiat worthless. whether they perceive any value in a global, bankless, super-regulatory form of fungible value.

The whole thing's pretty fucking dreary and I was going to go through it all, but I can't be bothered. The authors literally can't get their heads around the fact that, insofar as the currency aspect of cryptocurrency is relevant, people will want to use it specifically as a parallel economy to mainstream finance. Even if it doesn't work as well as legacy systems (and new structures of blockchain/DAG are suggesting that the book is by no means closed on this this) then people would STILL use it because they don't like the banks, or mainstream finance.

Lets be honest, your employer will always pay you in fiat into a bank account until the end of days. We can't just adopt a system where no one pays any tax

Then once you get that fiat, you will always spend that fiat at big businesses (who will likely never accept unregulated volatile meme money). The imagined marketplace like world that drives crypto simply doesn't exist

Crypto NEEDS to fit in with our economic system or the economic system collapses.


Crypto sceptics present their arguments in the world the see today, which is much more likely that the dystopian world where people trade shitcoins for grilled rats that crypto fanatics present their arguments from.

If you need to imagine a non existent economic system to win your argument you may as well call crypto a cult.

The thing is that "blockchain technology" is indeed not something all that revolutionary.
People, especially the media, jumped on the "blockchain" thing when it was the "money by the people (literally) for the people" aspect that was the most important.
Bitcoin was meant as a global and digital version of "community tokens" whereas small communities agree to create their own currency and trade using it.

Blockchain is like the "Cloud", a buzzword. The Cloud is merely a bunch of servers owned by one (or more) company to distribute their storage and computing over, this is essentially the very basic of networking rebranded as "Cloud" and sold to others as some miracle solution to hosting issues.
Blockchain is essentially a p2p distributed database; distributed databases have been around for ages in financial institutions and big intranets, what is "new" here is the peer to peer part making said database open to internet instead of being limited to some intranet.

I think anyone who goes around raving about blockchain has missed to point Bitcoin was actually meant to make... That is, people can agree to create and trade a currency without governmental interference.

You can go to a coffee shop in Houston, Texas and pay for a coffee using Indian Rupees and the shop can receive US dollars. The shop can buy their import coffee supplier with US dollars and they can receive Bitcoin. The coffee supplier can pay their shipping company and farmers in Britain in Bitcoin and they can receive British Pounds. And all of this can happen quickly and on a private or public ledger that is immutable and trust less, while paying the appropriate income/sales taxes with minimal fees of less than 0.5% and even smaller as the network becomes more efficient.

Nothing he says is anything new and it's clear from the article that he actually knows and understands very little. If you're going to post criticism at least post one from someone who has more then a superficial understanding of how cryptocurrencies work rather then a dinosaur economist who thinks he can see mathematical patterns in what is ultimately mass social behaviour.

No, there is nothing that does what Bitcoin does "better", which is a trusted decentralized currency. Anything that claims to do one thing better will sacrifice something else - be it security, decentralization, immutability, etc.

Blockchain tech is overrated. It's only useful for allowing a system to be decentralized with no centralized servers.

However in order to achieve that there is a steep performance/energy penalty.

There's not many applications where decentralization is needed to such a degree. The exceptions being anything where a centralized entity is prone to corruption. The only obvious application so far is money. It's still early for cryptos and blockchain tech, but it may end up that there's not too many other applications.

Yes, please enlighten me on the best way to achieve decentralized computing without decentralization? Distribullted databases, p2p energy, ect.
You're the equivalent of a brainlet back in the 90s who thought books were more effecient than online databases because navigating them was hard and he couldn't see farther than his nose.
I personally care very much about blockchain tech and even went back to school so I can be a blockchain engineer, but don't care about disrupting the banking system. The capabilities of blockchain extend far beyond currency, and there's far too much focus on that factor right now.

listen, I’m Canadian and I know that my country is ZOG and that we are a captive people. The government lost the consent to rule over me when I grew up and learned all these things on my own through studying politics, philisophy, and history (something they never bothered truly teaching in the public education system). At this point they are a coercive force in my life and the institutions in society that I traditionally could rely on (marraige, courts, media, etc.) have all been hijacked and repurposed to be used against me
