Crypto apps running in eg smart contracts will be able to interact directly with it and trust it, rather than needing to trust a third party oracle that retrieves the data externally.
After seeing the initial post on Twitter, I did something similar and have been running consistently for the last two months, having not previously enjoyed running. I love it now.
A more intriguing possibility concerns the labour force. According to our estimates the rich world is “missing” 10m workers, or roughly 1.5% of the total workforce, relative to pre-pandemic trends (see chart 3). In Britain and Italy the workforce has actually shrunk. Early retirements and an increasingly elderly population explain some of the deficit. Covid may have pushed people to reassess their priorities, prompting them to drop out. Some even speculate that long covid is forcing people to stay on the economic sidelines. Whatever the explanation, falling participation has wreaked havoc with companies’ plans. Many fired staff when the pandemic struck, only to struggle to rehire them in 2021. That year vacancies across the oecd hit an all-time high of 30m.
They're still subject to economic considerations (assuming a non-state actor). If the expected value on a cracked account is less than the expected cost to crack it, a rational actor won't bother. That they may use cracked AWS accounts, or botnets, to perform this cracking does not change these economic considerations.
