Americans aren't angry because Trump was wrong, they're angry because it's not working.
We won't drop it. Ethereum was built on insecure management from day one. Satoshi proved that honest mining nodes follow the longest proof-of-work chain. Ethereum chose to start their own management and now continue to suffer the consequences.

This is insane; I've never heard of this problem before in my life, and even just reading the post for one minute I immediately thought "hey, maybe the numbers refer to something in the text?" And hey yeah, they do.

This cannot be real. This website is ill.

Volume..... <sigh>

It used to be considered a quality of good code that there would be less code, not more.

Some people always tryin to get the highscore on golf.

It's in the actual currency. It's easy to have a large denomination of dollars if the currency is collapsing due to hyperinflation.

This is an alarmist headline and should be reconsidered before being posted anywhere.

--You don't want the bank to give you your money back?--

edit: I misunderstood, or do you mean why would you get your internet back? If you're not getting your internet back, I can only offer you're not getting your money back either.

Ain't no football game son. Bitcoin clears faster than any other world reserve candidate. Every ten minutes, electricity gets traded. Tick tock.

I saw a homeless guy in the park eating a block of raw cake mix.
Scott Adams:

"I’d also like to know how the Holocaust death total of 6 million was determined. Is it the sort of number that is so well documented with actual names and perhaps a Nazi paper trail that no historian could doubt its accuracy, give or take ten thousand? Or is it like every other LRN (large round number) that someone pulled out of his ass and it became true by repetition?"

Bitcoin has a longer proof-of-work history, which is the only thing that secures any blockchain.

It doesn't. Elon will happily spam your notifications with his own racist tweets directly, even if you don't follow him.
Kinda yeah? They certainly don't navigate into long-term multi-storey parking structures.
