I hear #bitcoin has been surging lately?
I’m not blanket anti-blockchain and crypto currencies (though I’ve yet to benefit from it any way), but the proof-of-work believers continue to perplex me.
You’re saying that in the year 2024, half a decade into the Information Age, we should all agree that this token of yours not only stores but *appreciates* (increases) in value over time, because you did us all the great favor of crunching some loopy math and burned a lot of energy in the process?
