I'm hugely critical of Bitcoin Cash, but I don't think it's comparable to a 51% attack.

I would love to know too. I am part of a cryptocurrency Facebook group and most of the people on it talking about Eth are Dutch.

The UI is clunky and impossible to efficiently use.

Compare the galaxy map to the one in Elite Dangerous in which it is far easier to control the camera.

They meant well but they might be better restarting

Update 1.35 is improving that, you might want to check it out.

Market cap is a poor way to measure each coin. You can create your own coin premine 1 million of them. Sell a few for ~5 dollars and claim it has a market cap of 5 million dollars.

Market cap can be a totally valid way to measure total worth. In the case of a cryptocurrency with a large circulating and trading volume, like Ether, it's a reliable measure of total value.

With most ICOs there is no risk that anyone other than the persons who created the ICO's will make money.

If you mean that there are plenty of ICOs that are scams operated by criminals, they yes you are probably right but regulation doesn't stop crime.

Can you actually picture in your mind a criminal preparing to do something criminal and stopping because it's actually illegal too?

"It's a thought crime."

uhm wat?

My mind was changed on this. I used to believe it was simple, you're XX or you're XY. Even two people with the same genes could be quite different if those genes are expressed differently.

Exactly, i used to be of the same mindset, turns out biology isn't that simple.

Certainly any job that only offers "do this and we give you enough money to barely live" will have to pay more.

Or no, since the person will already be receiving enough to live.

Well, the price of goods and services will go up because everybody suddenly has more money and the owners of the businesses that sell those goods and services have just had their taxes doubled, so we're back to square one anyways.

Increased demand for some goods will create competition and prices will stay the same or fall. Commodity goods providers don't have pricing power so they can't raise prices without losing sales to competitors. There is also the "menu cost" which is the resistance of businesses to react in real time to economic events. A restaurant won't reprint menus everyday and the $1.99 cleaner won't change prices very often.

In addition. The total money supply isn't growing, it is being redistributed to people more likely to consume. The velocity of money will increase but the total amount won't. This will keep prices relatively stable.

I worry about this too. Who cares if you have more money if it has less buying power per dollar? This is also why I worry about drastically higher minimum wage. Poor people have more money but all the places they spend it have higher costs that lead to higher prices. Rich people don't spend the majority of their money at Wal-Mart so it affects them less. EITC and other tax reductions on the poor seems more effective and doesn't reduce buying power.

>Who cares if you have more money if it has less buying power per dollar?

People who are broke care. Some money is always better than no money.

But the wages they pay to workers have gone down.

We'll add a tax on private armies first.

The rich will make their politicians add a tax so that the middle class to pay for the armies that keep themselves in line.
