Entertainment and reality

Elon Musk posted on X questioning why people side with the resistance in apocalyptic films but don’t do the same in reality. That’s not surprising. All entertainment, even that which is inspired and positive, is being secretly manipulated by Satan to numb the human sense of reality (both evil and righteousness). For example, apocalyptic films mostly don’t achieve any sense of biblical pre-warning but only create two alternative effects: first is a false sense that… Read More »Entertainment and reality

Truth and academic credentials

Here is a post on Twitter about Bill Gates. I have no problem with the point being made there, but it is based on fallacious reasoning. Bill Gates is wrong about vaccination because he is misled by his own ungodly view of the world and life, not because he doesn’t have a formal academic degree in medical science. Gates’ knowledge of biological sciences is broad and quite deep, I would say even beyond most PhDs… Read More »Truth and academic credentials

“(AI) World models should not be generative”

Yann LeCun, VP & Chief AI Scientist at Meta, made an interesting post on LinkedIn about AI world models: Post | Feed | LinkedIn. The short post may just be one of the most important posts on AI. “World models should not be generative.” I always knew this was the case, but it is great to see empirical confirmation. If one is willing to go beyond the mere empirical, he may start to see the… Read More »“(AI) World models should not be generative”

Discovering the real blockchain

Behrad Babaee, a technology evangelist in Aerospike, writes about why he changed his mind about blockchain: Why I Changed My Mind About Blockchain – The New Stack The article gives insights on database scalability and how a scalable blockchain like BSV solves the problem. The good news is that top IT system architects in the world aren’t fooled by the crypto schemes. They even rightfully despise it. But the bad news is that they don’t… Read More »Discovering the real blockchain

Universal Blockchain Assets

Dr. Owen Vaughan of nChain has published and presented his work on Universal Blockchain Assets. The Universal Blockchain Assets (UBA) is a novel protocol for issuing and transferring tokens across blockchains without the need for a trusted third party or cross-chain bridge. In the UBA scheme, the blockchain is used for double-spend protection only, while the authorization of token transfers is performed off-chain. Due to the universality of the approach, it works in almost all blockchain… Read More »Universal Blockchain Assets

Bitcoin, decentralization and distributed computing

I don’t understand celebrating a tiny database & nodes…🤷‍♀️ I want peer-2-peer electronic cash. Scaling matters. Robin deLisser on LinkedIn Robin is right.  Scaling matters. Scaling isn’t a mere quantitative advantage in that more of the same stuff is done, but more importantly a qualitative advantage because it enables new things that couldn’t be done without the scale. See The Structural Impact of The Cost of Transaction (CoT). Regarding distributed computing, the decentralization of the… Read More »Bitcoin, decentralization and distributed computing

Judge’s declaration in COPA v. Wright

At the end of the COPA v. Wright trial on March 14, 2024, Judge Mellor made the following oral statement: Despite the suspected ambiguity, I assume that the judge has declared that Dr. Wright is not Satoshi. I don’t think the judge’s oral statement has made it more uncertain than it would be. If anything, it probably has reduced the uncertainty. Certainty will not come before a formal written judgment, or a final judgment if… Read More »Judge’s declaration in COPA v. Wright

The price is just a symbol

In this post, the author accuses SEC of committing a crime for causing a drop in stock price. People who do this assume that stock prices must be protected as if they were a value in themselves. That is wrong. It is a good example of what’s wrong with today’s financial industry as a whole. It confuses symbols with reality and price with value. A temporary drop in stock prices is not a destruction of… Read More »The price is just a symbol

Code is not law

‘Code is law’ is a proud crypto proclamation. Some may even regard it as an inviolable creed. Few question it. But occasionally, some brave people do voice doubt. Here is an example: “Code is law,” the phrase, is a metaphor which is useful in terms of framing practical realities of the use of smart contract...

Enterprises are starting to see the truth in blockchain

  In this post, Worldvest’s Garrett Krause shows admirable insights and steadfastness. The company made a move to tokenize gold on the Bitcoin SV blockchain. Tokenized gold is in itself a great move (see, for example, Gold is superior money, and tokenized gold is a superior currency). However, choosing the Bitcoin SV blockchain requires a different kind of knowledge. Very few can cut through the fog and thickets that currently exist in the cancerous crypto… Read More »Enterprises are starting to see the truth in blockchain
