RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)Anarcho-capitalism is a wonderfully abstract ideal that can inspire innovation. It helped inspire me to help invent cryptocurrency.But real-world cryptocurrencies are not trustless -- they are trust-minimized. Each cryptocurrency has a legal attack surface, representing the kinds of ways governments and/or private entities can practically use law to disrupt their operations. The layer 1 of a good trust-minimized cryptocurrency like Bitcoin can withstand much more interference than ...

RT Wall Street Mav (@WallStreetMav)I suspect the CEO of Ford is lying here.There are 500,000+ mechanics in the USA (automotive technician). Their salary range is $35,000 to $80,000 per year.If Ford is really offering $120,000 then there would be tons of experienced mechanics applying. https://t.co/Yn2P31V8Jf ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)I'm writing about very real laws in very real jurisdictions in which Bitcoin miners, pools, noderunners, and wallets operate. Real laws in real jurisdictions are quite far from being "speculative boogeymen." There are, today, libraries full of an extremely wide variety of laws that apply to an extremely wide variety of arbitrary content.In all the technology examples you list, it is possible for the operators to *delete* data once they have obtained knowledge that it exists, witho ...
