| Satoshi's pride: * ability to fund shadow libraries without fear of censorship * lists with a single item still count as lists |

| To be fair, the theory with the whole coin thing is solid, and I'd say it should count as something to be proud of even if in reality it gets tainted by speculative investments. |

| ▲ | bawolff 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Yeah. I personally think the original bitcoin whitepaper is a work of genius. Balancing the soft game theory incentives with hard cryptography garuntees is really cool. I'd love to see more systems exploring this combination approach. There is a saying about not being able to solve a social problem with technology. Bitcoin is the blueprint on how to do that. Its everything that came after that point that is the problem. | | |

| ▲ | mistercheph 3 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | That's why most shadow libraries are funded with cash. | |
| ▲ | drdrey 3 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | who do you hand the cash to in order to fund a website? | | |
| ▲ | zufallsheld 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Sending cash via snail mail to buy stuff online exists. While Anna's archive does not support it, it certainly exists. | | |
| ▲ | vasco 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | This is also forbidden by several post offices. In my country it's against the law to send money by mail. | |
| ▲ | account42 3 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Ok, but now you're not comparing bitcoin to cash but rather to cash+mail, which has many more tracking opportunities. |
