Elon has been secretly buying even more Bitcoins with all his government grants to prop up TESLA. Those GigaFactories, are really covert Bitcoin mines which are powered by... wait for it... his SolarCity project.
Ultimately, Elon is a visionary. Whilst everyone is talking about Bitcoin going to the moon, Elon had plans to take it to mars all along... enter SpaceX!
What about the underground Boring company you ask? That's his version of puting all his cold wallet stored Bitcoins in the ground, like gold, except 1 Bitcoin is now worth more than 1oz of gold, so you gotta have much bigger holes in the ground. The Hyperloop was just a pet project to ensure he could quickly access all his geographically dispersed underground cold storage Bitcoins, should the need ever arise.
Finally though, he saw that AI would be smart enough to figure out where he stashed all his Bitcoins, so he's come up with the NeuroLace project to enhance the human capacity to memorize Bitcoin brain wallet addresses, whilst still ensuring a high degree of entropy.
Oh no in a $230 BILLION dollar market we find $374K of fraud... let me do the math on that... oh right... 0.00016%. In other words one thousand of one percent of Crypto is a scam. Ok let's multiply that by 10 just cuz there have been a few other scams. One one hundred of 1% is a scam. Hmmm... sounds a bit better than WallStreet no?
I'll take my chances with Crypto than JP Morgan, Goldman and other FlashBoys scaming all your manipulated stock market. See you when Crypto hits $5 Trillion.
Except this "fad" has been up and running for 9 years and has hundreds of bluechip companies (IBM, Intel, HP, Microsoft, Cisco, and top 100 banks globally) hiring and training entire departments on the technology. Ya you will be the late majority at best. Enjoy buying Bitcoin at $100,000 per unit.
Considering Crypto has made HUNDREDS, if not thousands of millionaires, it's hardly a scam. Sorry you missed out. Now get ready to watch this thing explode to a 5 Trillion dollar marketcap cap in the next 5 years. You will be crying yourself to sleep for decades for missing the opportunity of your life... and why? Because you speak without knowing the facts or having done anymore than surface level research. Crypto has more Phd's working on it than Google, Facebook and Amazon combined.
Considering Crypto has exploded in return on investment, the suckers are those that show up too late to the game. Bitcoin has been up and running for 9 years with explosive price gains... when did you buy again? Oh you missed out? Bitter? That explains it.
It was only when I read the article the third time that I clued in they weren't talking about HP Enterprise employees, but rather High Performance Employees (HPE). Hate it when IT re-uses acronyms to mean something else.
I haven't even read the study and can tell you the title conclusion is completely ridiculous, bordering on bad click-bait.There exists over 1 Billion cars in the world. Unless the governments of all countries in the world both fully subsidize AND legally mandate people to switch to electric cars AND build global infrastructure to support 1 Billion electrical cars, then it ain't gonna happen. Simple as that, end of story.
... to create a private and permission based blockchain between banks a la R3CEV.COM with so far 46 banks. This way, when the keys get compromised, that hacker can be the richest person in the world.
It's ok, you utter the word, the secret's out now... Anyone seriously looking at "blockchain" technology is considering using Ethereum (aka bitcoin 2.0), not Bitcoin, including R3 CEV in the linked article. The ability to script transactions in bitcoin is fairly limited and not flexible. Yes there are ongoing ventures and ideas to work around that: side-chains, blockstream, colored coins, rootstock, etc, but these are all non-existent for production use at this time. Ethereum launched 6 months ago and can be used now, although it has far less time in the open than bitcoin (6 months vs ~7 years), so from a security perspective, it still needs to prove itself. Meanwhile, research teams of organizations can start testing it. Where Bitcoin can disrupt the financial sector, Ethereum can disrupt finance and "everything" else.
If it was 2 or 3 different authorities ok, but when it's thousands of pilots and hundreds of air traffic controllers who know the difference between an airplane and somehting that can do a 90 degree turn while going 20,000 miles per hour... and when it's hundreds of insiders in high ranks telling you not just what they saw, but what they know from decades on the job... at some point you have to pull the ear plugs off your ears and have a listen.
Oh right, when they held positions in the scientific community, were Surgeons in hospitals, ex-NASA employees etc, in charge of F'ing nuclear weapons facilities they were all sane. All of a sudden they see a UFO and they are all crazy. Nice logic fail there.

I want to print Circuit Boards at home and ideally even be able to assemble components on them. PLEASE work towards that goal, even if it takes 2-5 years. Printing & assembling prototypes with traditional vendors costs anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000 PER 2 (identical) boards. It'd be nice to do it all for less than $500 per board at home, even if it takes 2-4 days to print it out & assemble it... which is still faster than 15-45 days via traditional printer & assemblers. Thank you. That is all.
I think you mean Sanskrit. Have you heard Hindi these days? Having never studied it I already understand 20% of it, because 20% of it already is English. Don't believe me? Turn on the Hindi channel on your TV. Hindi is one of the most bastardized languages that I know of.
Bitcoin Exec? Really? Is that like the Bitcoin CEO the media was reporting on earlier this year? C'mon slashdot... How about some accuracy in your headlines for a change?
There is no Bitcoin Exec because bitcoin is not a corporation. There are thousands of bitcoin related companies, but they each have their name. So maybe a title of "Bitinstant Exec..." would have been more accuracy.
So let me see if I got this straight. Less than 300 years ago the fastest method of transportation was horse and buggey and sail ships on the Ocean. In 300 years we now can put ships in space that can travel at 87,000 mph (143kph), and your best reasoning borrowed from Astrophysicists no less, is that aliens can't be here or make it here because the distances are just too vast ?!?!?
This lacks basic reasoning at minimum and surely imagination.
Imagine if you can how fast we'll be able to travel in space another 300 years from now. Now imagine how fast an alien race could travel if they were 5,000 years more advanced than we are. What about 100,000 years? 1 Million? 10 Million? Pretty sure after even a few thousand years the problem of going across these vast distances will be solved.
Look it up. He saw this coming over a year ago. DarkWallet = anonymity for Bitcoin. The guy is not stupid by a long shot. Also listen to him speak, he's a great philosopher with the wisdom of an immature teenager.

It seems to me you are. Your statement contradicts your signature. We call that hypocrisy around here.

One day, scientists and their followers will feel like complete idiots, when it becomes obvious aliens have been here all along.
