Earth has a new moon – About the size of a car
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2235427-earth-has-acquired-a-brand-new-moon-thats-about-the-size-of-a-car/On 19 February, astronomers at the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona spotted a dim object moving quickly across the sky. Over the next few days, researchers at six more observatories around the world watched the object, designated 2020 CD3, and calculated its orbit, confirming that it has...
Strawman. I won't answer it.
>>To think there is some dark force out there shilling for big banks to scare us from adopting a technology that supports a few transactions a second and requires more energy than several small nations combined.... pretty naive.
But central banks, bankers, big time capitalists and the federal government would never do anything outside of public interests?

For the record I don't own any cryptocurrency and never will because I don't believe in it's merits like you, but I am not so naive to think that private interests wouldn't collude against a digital asset highly risky to their profitable margins.

Cap-theorem. Blockchain allows for far greater partitions not available to any other database model. In terms of consistency, while I disagree with everything many crypto companies are doing, when it comes to consistency, blockchain allows far larger scabability in terms of consistency over a larger partition than traditional corporate servers running Hadoop or Spark. The availability is surprisingly quick as well. If we're talking maximum scale of big data and their operating methodology, we're going to be talking about blockchain and how to partition the the data between different clusters and how to achieve consensus between nodes. Financial data belongs on the blockchain, outside of corporatocracy control and central bank control.
Here's a question? Why am I not being paid to witness or watch your advertisements? Why don't I get a portion of the profits, regardless of the platform? I'm actually all for targeted ads; I shouldn't be getting alzheimer medication ads at 27 or diabetic medication ads when I'm not at risk. But hey, a new video game or movie ad? Sign me up.
I think blockchain will be the revolution to this nauseating ad-nonsensical world we live in. Already the Brave browser is trying to implement this (with admitted failure so far, but they're trying) and I see future platforms adopting this. The number of ads in Youtube have skyrocketed and I know most of the profits do not go to the content makers. I'm all for advertising but I want a fairer share of the pie for content makers, myself and more targeted information.
Where and how this data should reside, this digital fingerprint should reside is problematic. I don't trust any corporate or financial database as the experian hack has shown. Still, we should be asking these questions and continuing this dialogue. No more nonsensical ads, a fairer partition of the pie distributed and less ads, but more quality ads.
