That's a unique interpretation
yeah i dont think anyone seriously buys into bitcoin=private in 2024 thankfully. they are still deluded on monero, but its only a matter of time.
It is similar to open source social media.
thats federation, not open source. reddit was open source for a while, but not federated -- and now we are here. whatsapp uses an open source protocol, but isnt federated -- some asshole hawaiian (resident of hawaii, not the other option) controls it. Signal is open source, but won't federate, its controlled by people who are way more into crypto than helping their users (moxie was actively against federation, using such examples as email to prove how federation is a failure)
don't recall, it covered both bitcoin and etherium and investigated who owned what. ill see if i can't find it. edit: this seems to be the academic version of it, but theres a prettier journalism version with more stories and pictures: https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.02871
in this case i seem to have misremembered owners vs miners, but I'll keep poking around. this one is also older than i remember.
Please clarify why the TPM, a decade old security chip, is bad for gran
make it better
Like the rest of society, some people get ridiculous wealth by luck of being at the right place at the right time. That is no reason to not have open source money.
thats not the point, there have been studies that show bitcoin is fairly vulnerable to 50% control due to early adopters and other wHaLeS controlling the currency. and the studies can show this because bitcoin isnt private.
Bitcoin Core is MIT licensed.
the software is, but what relevance does that have to people using it as currency?
More people will switch to Linux once and for all.
lol, so 2025 will truly once and for all be the year of the linux desktop? do you like...ever learn history? should try.
I hope not, politics define almost every single moment of our existence. It's like physics, but with more assholes.
