If you are going to ask me. It really meant nothing to me. Stacker News is my witness right now. It does not mean a thing to me. I just could not relate. The numbness is at the highest level. I could not even be bothered to react to it until now.
If you can use it with a simple computer and Block Stream Satellite it is permission less. If it is protected by 51% of total mining operation then it is censorship resistant. Incidentally we are talking about Bitcoin.
I paid the frontend developer to add Optimism layer 2. It was still like $1 ON LAYER 2, to save a simple little tiny single character string to the blockchain, or the emulated version of it. (whatever layer 2 is...)
It is crazy that even layer 2 technologies could not make anything cheaper. By your experience, we are learning.
You were right on point when you compared Bitcoin to Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and Ethereum. These coins are the perceived competitor to Bitcoin up until the Cerveza Sickness when Bitcoin showed them all who is the real King of Proof of Work. Ethereum is shown to always change its direction from Hard Forking away from Ethereum Classic to shun the embarrassment that they experienced from hackers and to return the "coins" of their friends and allies, through creating a new path using DPOS. It literally destroyed their roadmap to greatness while the non meddling mentality of Satoshi Nakamoto helped Bitcoin flourish to levels that we have yet to imagine. Talk is cheap is but this is just the gist of what transpired in past 15 years and you successfully summarized the disaster that shipcoins have created themselves by succumbing to greed and gluttony.
From the the inventors of QR code comes the best QR (Quick Response) code scanner. No more fake scanning animation gimmick.
They can always try to co-opt Bitcoin. Try if they can. They thought that Bitcoin will collapse on its own now they are trying to co-opt it. This is the work of a clown. Governments around the world are proving that they are clowns. ETF entities have posted their Bitcoin address publicly so if you send them coins from COINJOIN tainted wallets that makes their Bitcoin holdings tainted?
Now that you mentioned it I truly believe that polls are a good addition to Stacker News experience. You are engaging us to vote for something that we believe in. The idea about those with 50 votes is perfect for getting the pulse of the active participants in the polls. Also it is not that hard to look for the results since the search engine of Stacker News is near perfection.
What is happening here Florida? Florida is seemingly afraid of the macabre. This is crazy if they think that it goes in contrast with their political inclinations, that is just too childish a reason.
I expect that stackers will just respect each others decision to zap or not to zap. I have made a couple of mistakes while trying to navigate my way here. I also tried to participate in a poll although I do not have SATS to spare. Everybody wants the zaps but let us not allow ourselves to be consumed by apathy. We need cooler heads because I think our primary goal here is to create evidence that we are the best zappers in the Internet. Nobody can beat us at this game of accumulating zaps for the purpose of redistributing to most active users of the community.
Scams will only prosper if you have some hidden desire to earn more in a very quick way. They are exploiting that hidden desire hence high paying salaries for workers and the best perks that you could only dream of in your lifetime. It is gut wrenching but lucrative.
I think I will go for the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. It is expected to be a compelling read, judging by the title alone.
They can't afford it. The dollar store is not a dollar store anymore besides their online counterparts are eating a huge chunk of the market share for dollar store.
