The government wouldn't be able to attack the network if they wanted to and I guarantee they've already tried.


Stop! This is a danger to our Democracy! The information above will give doubt to our glorious oligarchic leader Bill Gates and how much of a saint he is.


You also have the same problems of history revisionism for the far left as well.

You can't trust wiki when it pertains to politics.

Why would I invest in a failing financial system? Fuck it let the system that survives on a growing debt population burn down


This is an ad to make AI advertisers look positive.


The internet was more fun until the crybabies and control freaks ruined it.

This site is like a Reddit for the Silicon Valley community, you're not going to find much support. They will soon completely fail though, their ideology doesn't create value. Just keep watching.


The money is back up by US treasury bonds. When the government wants more cash, they issue new treasury bonds in order to print out more dollars. People buy US treasury bonds as a safe investment that they can cash in 10 years later at a certain % interest based on Federal Reserve interest rate.

If you keep printing out money faster than the economy grows, the money will depreciate. If the money depreciates too much, people lose a lot more money on treasury bonds. When people stop buying US treasury bonds, the government can't spend more/pay their bills.


BLOCKCHAIN IS NOT BITCOIN.

Cardano is decentralized.

https://pooltool.io/

With 2,459 active stake pools operating all around the world to process Cardano transactions.

You can see the distribution of Cardano in Biggest Groups (Stake) on top left in the link below.

https://adapools.org/groups

It would take many many groups getting together to take over 50% of staked Ada in Cardano.

Bitcoin on the other hand is not that decentralized

Bitcoin Mining Pools 2020

You can see that if three major mining pools joined together, they could take control of the entire Bitcoin network.

I know this is a site where everyone likes to think they are way more informed than the world population but in terms of cryptocurrency, I find the posts here woefully poor in quality and information.

------

And I haven't even started on Cardano's Project Catalyst - their democratic method of funding new cryptocurrency projects/developers and adding projects on the Cardano Network. All decided and controlled by ADA holders and not necessarily IOHK/Cardano Foundation/Emurgo, the organizations who made Cardano.

If you have a problem with my statement, then actually challenge what I have to say instead of hiding behind a downvote. Cut the bullshit propaganda and have an actual conversation about it.


Ethereum staking

Still will have high gas fees.



Use proof of stake coins like Cardano and Polkadot

They use 10000 to a million times less energy than bitcoin to process payments!


Genuine question, what do you mean by "use Cardano"? Use it for what? Can I create borrowing/lending decentralized platforms?

Can I launch my NFT marketplace on it (at this moment)? Or perhaps create a DAO for the governance of a Dapp?

I don't understand how Cardano is even a choice right now.


Polkadot is terrific and has a place, especially in private blockchains.

Cardano is interesting but much less inspiring to me.

But I still think that Ethereum 2.0 will be the public blockchain of choice down the line.


Don't forget about Kusama. Expect Chaos... ;)
