decentralization is coordination without central authority a thought experiment: assume the most decentralized blockchain in existence. hundreds of thousands of nodes, run at home, with distributed mining power and coin supply. now assume, hypothetically, that if North Korea is able to move funds from Wallet A to Wallet B on this chain in a time period T, then it's tied to an automatic switch such that NK is able to detonate nuclear weapons in a majority of countries in the world simultaneously (remember, it's a thought experiment) finally, assume that the blockchain was able to fork such that Wallet A funds were frozen and billions didn't die now: was that blockchain decentralized or not? well, given that the incentive of humans is to not die, they were able to coordinate under a shared incentive to prevent this so while the chain itself is decentralized, that does not imply that the chain is disorganized put differently: decentralization actually means coordination without central authority if the cost of coordination is functionally zero, then it's centralized however, if the cost is infinite, then technically speaking, it is still not decentralized because you can not even apply that terminology to a non functional system (i.e you can't even process state transitions if the nodes don't coordinate to make blocks)

I f*cking love the singularity man. Building is so much fun rn.

it's insane to me that buy and burn has become the default for profitable crypto protocols why would a high growth startup would ever take its profits and distribute them to shareholders instead of re-investing for future growth, or at least holding it for runway

Build all the data centers

a small subset of trading terminals on solana are absolutely robbing their users the average user has no idea how badly they're getting fucked

The more AI can do, the more valuable distinctly human work becomes.

Man, no one in my high school was doing anything near this innovative.

Solana desperately needs a new winner right now

“UBI is coming.” No it isn’t. UBI has been here for decades already. You don’t need to work to eat. You can just fill out some forms. Need health care? Just show up in the emergency room. If you want to understand the social change wrought by UBI, just look around.
