Another awesome post, can’t wait till your new book is released…couldn’t think of a Bitcoin related question but was wondering what do you do for fun or downtime that doesn’t include computers or a screen?
Lingo in bitcoin is insanely tricky. I wish we would have better words to describe it, but I'm afraid that we're stuck with old and misleading metaphors. https://dergigi.com/terminology
Absolutely, the concepts "mining", "wallet" and so on, are so far-fetched that
are causing most of the confusion.
I will insist on calling Bitcoin 'electronic cash',
it was it from the very beginning and that will be, forever.```
Take these 10k sats as a token of appreciation for this article and the great writing that you do in general Gigi. Keep it up and I look forward to the whole book, whenever it's done 😉
Translations are very personal and after reading few lines of the
Spanish site linked I would probably change some expressions.
I would suggest opening a Github to accept contributions and
changes to the translation so they are they closer to theoriginal
work by Gigi.
Just a suggestion, of course.```
Wow! haven't finished it yet but this looks like another legendary post. Thanks dergigi!
Thank you for the premature praise! 😅🧡
always amazed by your work
Sounds like you are more in agreement with Jason Lowery's cyberdome defense/attack take than you may care to admit...
But I do admit it: https://twitter.com/dergigi/status/1521957870396493825
Cool. Didn't know...👍😎
Whats the biggest risk to Bitcoin?
Do you have a morning routine?
I started work on this over 2 years ago, and finally pushed it over the line. Happy to answer any questions over the next 48h or so.
What are your biggest concerns regarding Bitcoin?
@dergigi what are your thoughts on infinite halving.
That way, block rewards would always be there.

I love this takeaway. Dergigi will single handily make bitcoin concepts and vocabulary accessible to the masses.

Cheers from Austria. Huge fan of yours. Keep it up. 🧡
It is happening, slowly, but unstoppable.Yes, the double-spending problem was one of the biggest achievements early cypherpunkers.
We did have hash-and-sign before. But in a decentralized (not signed by one individual) and fungible was an amazing feat. Very under-appreciated.
Indeed! I portrayed some of this history in Chapter 1: https://21-ways.com/1/
