To be honest, I would probably play a game with such a plot with more pleasure than a game where all Pokemon look like puppies.

By the way, surprisingly, cartoons are also fictional, but for some reason, child abuse in cartoons is 18+ marked or prohibited. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Well, I have nothing against the players. It’s just that it’s really hard for me to play this series.

I hope the movies are not the same as the cartoons of the 90s. I once watched a couple of episodes where Ash sends Pikachu to fight in the arena and then cries when Pikachu gets hit hard. I just wanted to ask, “buddy, you literally sent Pokemon into the damn arena where he was supposed to FIGHT, what were you hoping for?” But in general, I understand you now. In fact, the plot is not important at all. People just collect Pokemon like things, like Magic the gathering cards. Now I’m not sure if this is as insensitive or logical as possible.

Pokemon. Behind the pleasant facade of the game series, there is a reality: people kidnap animals in the forest, lock them in pokeballs, and force them to fight in arenas, at least until they are damaged. I didn’t understand this game series when I was younger and I still don’t. Do people really like playing this game?

Well, in, my case first there was communism, so the state provided us with a pension regardless of who worked how much and what was happening in general.

And then there was the collapse of the USSR and in general after a while everyone realized that they would just work until death. And so it happened.

I just went to libraries and asked my friends for information.

By the way, the internet didn’t suddenly become filled with all the knowledge in the world. The first internet pages were like personal blogs filled with not-so-useful information. In those days, the internet was similar to today’s darknet. Google was just starting out, and there was no search engine as such. As a result, people just shared websites with each other. The current internet is the result of millions of people’s efforts to fill it with information. So, having access to the internet didn’t change my life overnight.

But we used to buy collections of websites and data on CDs when CD-ROMs first became available, and that was pretty fun.

UPD: and at some point, people started exchanging data through modem calls, and that’s how fidonet was born. It was a whole cultural layer where you could get an address and slowly receive newsletters and exchange data through late-night calls to sisops. It was like a prehistoric torrent, but instead of pirating, you were exchanging data.

What a picture?

Well… In my case, as many potatoes as you want. Even if I grow it on an industrial scale, I will only need to pay 4% sales tax. And for myself, I can grow at least 100+ kg of potatoes without any problems. (Because of the size of the plots, I can literally grow tons of potatoes).

And yes, I use UV lamps for seedlings every spring. Just like literally everything in my village. This happens when the daylight is very short. These are the countries with risky agriculture. I think it would be funny for some foreigners to watch the picture of the village where in every house at night with ultraviolet light shining on the windowsills =)

after testing a bunch of different apps, I settled on a notebook and a pen. There’s nothing more convenient than writing down your tasks and plans in two columns and then simply recording the results the next day.

Well, I’ve lived half my life without the Internet, because it wasn’t invented yet, and if things really go this way, I’ll live the rest of my life without the Internet. No digital sharing, no digital spying. And I recommend that you disconnect from the network for a couple of months and touch the grass too.

After all, if people are willing to read what they’re given, why not? If they like to read books with the quality of neural networks, then there’s nothing you can do about it. All that remains is to be better than the neural network. In any aspect. And you will find your reader.

But yes, the human creativity of widespread consumption is slowly dying.

The same story was told when photography was invented. And yes, the portraits really died en masse. Did painting come to an end after that? Of course not.

Part of my last minig farm, if you interesting.

and yes, I also mined bitcoins on the CPU. back when you could get near 200 bitcoins per hour of work. After that I mined altcoins on video cards, mined through nicehash. what I have not mined. and I can say - it’s all thrown money. much, much more profitable just to buy cryptocurrency and hold on cold wallet.

if you don’t want to tell me that people are setting up mining farms in Somalia (because it’s pointless from a risk perspective), I don’t think electricity rates are particularly lower anywhere else.

In any case, you can make money from anything. It’s just that the risks associated with mining don’t justify the investment. That’s all.

I think you have the wrong units. The average fee is 1.5 USD.

Percents you can calculate self. That’s not for all blocks, but in a day.

UPD: This is not for every block, of course, but for the whole day. I was wrong about that. Maybe really 2%

This is quite quick. Last time I looked the it was around 3 years. Most of the cost comes from buying the hardware.

my calculations were made without taking into account the growth of the network’s complexity. So, when I tried it last time, the network’s complexity had increased so much in a year and a half that the equipment was not bringing in much, and it was not worth the risk of investing. However, things may be different now, and I may be mistaken.

UPD: Now I just buy Bitcoin on exchanges, and it brings me the same % of income as mining. But I don’t have to deal with equipment, follow ridiculous laws, or waste electricity. =) That’s why I say that many peole just tkabe bitclin to cold wallets. Less bitcloin exists on exchage then grow price.

There have been no new Bitcoins for a long time. Everything that miners mine is just a transaction tax. In fact, to describe the reason for bitcoin’s growth, you need to understand what money is all about. Not just crypto money, but in general. In short, the price is rising because many (including miners) believe that it will rise and do not spend bitcoins. In a normal economy (except Japan), you could just print more money and the price would drop because the currency unit would depreciate. But bitcoin is a mathematical model, and it has a limit. You will not be able to create more Bitcoins than you have already created in any way. Therefore, the belief in the growth and retention of the currency reduces turnover and the price increases. If any of the whales withdraw their entire stock in one day, the market will fall for many years.

UPD: Excuse me, I really made a mistake. You can still mine 3 bitcoins per block… but to be honest, 3 bitcoins for a whole pool is only an eighth of the original 25 bitcoins per person. In general, mining has not compensated for mining for a long time.

UPD: I checked just in case. The average commission payment is now 1.5 bitcoins. almost half of the reward

UPD: I will reveal my thought even more. An ASIC at 1160 Th/s costs 33k dollars and consumes 11 kW. Even in my region with a low-cost light (only 5 cents per kW), such an asic will be able to bring only 58 dollars per day. And it will pay off only in 1.7 years. This is the moment when the miner will FINALLY stop working at a loss. And this is in ideal conditions without increasing the complexity of the network and other things. So all the miners who don’t buy huge amounts in bulk barely pay for their business.

There is a limited amount of Bitcoin, and some of it is lost in forgotten wallets, so the total volume is constantly falling. This may partially increase the price.

But in reality, as in any speculative market, the price of bitcoin depends mainly on faith in it and speculation about world events (some kind of cataclysms, regular statements of this or that person about cryptocurrency, etc.)

The main real value can only be found in countries that are disconnected from SWIFT. However, almost no one appreciates this because there are only 5 officially disconnected countries. However, if this list continues to grow, cryptocurrencies (including Bitcoin) will become more prevalent in international transactions.
