If only there were a way to combine the two, then we could keep an even larger bubble going.
Can we switch back to the need based economy instead of the greed based economy?
Which economy was that? We’ve had greed for hundreds of years, if not many thousands.
Sure, but it will have to change eventually, we can’t keep pumping out more and more throwaway shit year after year, there will be a critical mass, or maybe we just die buried in our own garbage.
It seems the nature of things are changing from physical things to digital things, and that has infinite potential. I expect at some point we’ll start mining the landfills because it’s easier than extracting stuff from the rock. Once that happens, there’s no physical limit on the greed.
Inifnite potential? Like NFTs? Subscriptions? I suppose… I’m beyond not interested in buying digital things I don’t even have the rights to, but I seem to be in the minority.
Whether you have the rights is kind of irrelevant to this discussion. Let’s say it’s GOG games that are all DRM-free, my point is digital consumption has nearly infinite upper limits for consumption.
Fucking greedheads.
Lost all your money on Bored Apes, now generate your own!
Crypto mining is (mostly?) total waste… Proof of Work by doing hard but useless calculations and using it as kind of currency is like travelers on a desert world use water as a currency - but by intentionally spilling it 🤦🏻♂️
Great cryptocurrencies does not need power hungry hardware. Eg. Nano (XNO) have a secure network error or using around 17 000 000 times less energy per transaction.
Couldn’t agree more. Proof of Stake is the future of crypto.
most grifters like Trump and Elon are in both
Hey, now that we have this obscene energy-wasting capability, let’s see what other ways there are to generate equally obscene profits!
At least they’re pivoting instead of just doing both.
The difference between AI and Bitcoin is that people actually use AI to do productive things.
So there’s no difference.
You know absolutely nothing about blockchain technology or LLMs if you actually believe that.
