That's sort of what we're waiting to see. From the conversation with Stephen (who is a lawyer, but not yours), the plaintiff seems to be arguing that the actions of Bitmain, etc. had the effect of centralizing bitcoin cash into their control. If ...

IANAL, but my understanding is that someone filing a lawsuit needs to have "standing," which as I take it means that they specifically are damaged by something that the defendant took. If nobody "owns" bitcoin cash in any meaningful sense due to its ...

It's sad to see that Daniel Krawisz, who in the past wrote intelligent articles, is digging himself into a hole deeper and deepet because of a misguided belief in Faketoshi.
"Football players can make a good income playing football, but there is no evidence that their income would be higher if the rules were determined by the players!" Excellent. Thank you for epitomising the point so well. Included in this analogy, is...
There is a fundamental flaw in Daniel's argument that miners need central control in order to maximise their return. Miners are essentially the players in this game, with the consensus protocol being the rules and users being the fans (via their dema...
rotalumis A world of exciting possibilities is unfolding as we wrap our heads around digital tokens (such as Counterparty assets like LTBcoin) and their uses. Here are a couple of use cases I have been thinking about lately: token-based affiliate programs and token-based member-invite-only systems.

In April 2014, Stefan Molyneux, came down heavily on political corruption and warmongering in an Amsterdam conference talk titled Bitcoin vs.Political Power. Right after he uploaded the talk to YouTube, Google suspended the eight-year-old YouTube account he had used t... Read More
rotalumis How do we turn crypto-skeptics into crypto-advocates?
It can be quite fascinating to hear people who are involved in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies talk about the time they first heard of the whole phenomenon, about their first impressions, and about how their opinions changed. You will find it is not always a tale of love at first sight.
