Bitcoin is a "machine that greens". It will drive sustainable energy development in an emergent free market fashion and take us to a type 1 civilization.

Fix the money, fix the world.
The beautiful thing about Bitcoin is that is it a pure, global, free market writ large. There is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent individuals from choosing to participate in it. Therefore the correct retort to someone like you is to tell you to "cry harder".
same 500 error for me
Because from a first principles line of reasoning it makes the most sense to my brain. There is plenty of historical reading over at mises.org by various authors.
They scored higher for those times and places / were actually available.
Thank you for the succinct defence of the validity of game theory.
On a meta level: Is there a generalized reason why people reject tools of analysis on the basis of "imperfect reflections of reality". I've never come across someone rejecting the formula for the diameter of a ball just because it's "only an approximation". Does it have something to do with number and size of assumptions involved?
We learned this lesson in 2016 during the Bitcoin scaling wars. The path to global unit of account does not begin with "medium of exchange" it begins with "store of value".
The primary purpose of Bitcoin is to be a store of value (the definition of money), without this achievement it cannot evolve to a medium of exchange (definition of currency).
The more interesting way to analyze history, rather than trying to evaluate the degree of barter, is to seek out the most saleable good which was in use at a given place and time. Humans must solve the problem of "coincidence of wants" (ie. You raise chickens and I'm a woodworker - do we always need each other's goods?). Naturally, they begin to use the most saleable good available to their community as "money" for trade. The most saleable good (the most marketable and easy to sell) is usually the good available to them which scores highest on the following five properties (imagine a radar chart): Divisibility, Durability, Portability, Fungibility, Scarcity.
This way of thinking can provide a satisfying explanation of the emergence of gold as a global store of value.

Cool, but if you want to sell it, Z needs a "killer app". What does this do better than ANY other language?
Ex: Web server in 5 lines, or super simple matrix manipulation.
To get the most out of my periods of intense focus I try to plan multiple after hour activities. I find that tactile activities such as climbing and pottery really help with balancing my brain and softly undo the anti-social mood that develops in me during long coding sessions.

Implying it won't accelerate the development of more/better solar.
If they were centralized they would most definitely have reversible transactions, and probably NOT be anonymous.
This would make a great movie!
As a react chart enthusiast, I love this.
Add a max-width and center the content of the demo page to avoid elongated charts on large screens.
You should publicly denounce this company, in your article and here on HN.
Grab as much evidence of the unacceptable behavior and put it online for all to see.
I see no reason to give your identity politics fetish air time. As other commenters have pointed out, you posit definitions that are both absurd and insulting.
I've long been a fan of the GA optimization technique. I created this little tool to explore the genetic algorithm. You can tweak parameters on the fly and watch the effect it has on the current set of top solutions. https://github.com/nk1tz/explore-genetic-algorithm
Such a troll
Developers are a cynical bunch. It comes with the chops.
If there is demand for cheap food as well as an assure flow of money into the hands of that demand, it seems reasonable to believe the market will address that demand. Am I missing something?
