I saw a video where they pointed out that shorting bitcoin futures is a perfectly sensible hedging tactic for bitcoin miners. It costs a lot in electr...
Bitcoin's already dead IMO. It may go to a million US first, but it's going to zero. It has unsolvable scaling problem, electricity usage being one of...
We walked on the moon in 1967. In 1968 MLK and RFK were assassinated, the cities burned, and in the following years the country realized the governmen...
This is actually not true. Bitcoin is not as anonymous as people think Every transaction is tracked forever. For example that NiceHash $62M theft, tho...
That's the crazy thing. How is the price going up if nobody can actually manage to buy it? It's possible that there's a lot of price manipulation by t...
Heat is a measure of average energy over a region. Thermal equilibration is a statistical process. My remarks stand. I'm perfectly happy to talk about...
I suspected that, but didn't want to complicate my point.The Wiki article on the cosmo principle does note that the sun is different from the earth, s...
Well the probability is zero. But that is not the same as guaranteeing with absolute certainty that there is another earth. That's the claim on the ta...
This is something that troubles me deeply. You are claiming that physicists assume that Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory applies to the physical universe. ...
I think I found the smoking multiverse. I went to the Wiki article on the multiverse. I searched for "ergodic," and found this: A prediction of chaoti...
Thanks for the tip. I'll check them out. ps -- CEX has a much higher price for bitcoin than the other exchanges. Also there are some Reddit complaints...
Yes the exchanges and wallets are the weak point in the system. The core protocol is cryptographically secure (unless the NSA already has a backdoor, ...
Did you try Gemini? They couldn't verify my ID (same problem you're having) but they emailed me and said I can link a bank account. Coinbase is absolu...
Yes I'm all over it. Top things you need to know that aren't in the mainstream news: * Invented by NSA in 1996. Satoshi's 2009 paper is strictly for t...
In one post you said there are countably many Hubble volumes, and in another post you said there were uncountably many. Can you clarify this? We would...
I don't understand how you can say this, yet claim you don't understand the idea of countably many coin flips. They're the same mathematical idea. You...
If all you have is insults and you can't coherently explain your point, you've got nothing. You're the one claiming there are infinitely many universe...
Please explain it to me. If there are no measure zero events, then NO distribution of states to universes is possible. Just like if you flip infinitel...
That's a pathetic response. A non-pathetic response to the question I asked you would be one of the following: * "I don't quite get this measure zero ...
Before I compose a detailed reply to each of the points you raised; can you please tell me which part of my post is giving you trouble? Do you not und...
Thank you for clarifying. I don't feel that you're engaging with my point. Your bullet items are probabilistic. And you are applying probability theor...
Only speaking loosely. Ignorant of the physics. Asking if there's an explanation of why all states must occur. Is this all as in all? Or all as in sta...
That's very interesting. How does it know to do that? In the early moments of the universe it's cranking out all these possible configurations, and it...
As I attempted to make clear earlier, I'm ignorant of physics and so I have to take on faith a lot of what's written here. But now and then the discus...
Yes. Needed to think about that a little. There's only one way there can be zero heads. There are countably many ways there can be one head. (Could be...
The space of coin flips is uncountable. So countable additivity still allows individual events to have probability zero. When people are talking about...
Doesn't help your argument. The limit is exactly zero. But if the probability of one event in a countable event space is zero, your probabilities don'...
No. The probability of any particular sequence of infinitely many coin tosses is zero. Exactly zero. The question at issue with the "infinitely sided ...
When you replied to me earlier spouting buzzwords about the Hubble radius and such, I tended to believe you since I don't know much physics. But when ...
Can you explain exactly what you mean by that? Are you using your own private system of mathematics? Making an argument based on a vague misunderstand...
So you are requiring the assumption that you are then claiming is true? Well by that logic you're certainly right. If you pre-load your desired conclu...
I'm not the one claiming the universe is infinite. I'm simply pointing out that in an infinite collection of regions, with each region taking on one o...
The passage you quoted was written by me. I read it very carefully and stand by it. If there are only finitely many states S1 through Sn, and infinite...
That doesn't make any sense. You're completely misunderstanding the discussion. The claim (which I disagree with, but accept only for sake of argument...
If there are two states and infinitely many universes they could be 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ... If 0 is the "earth" state, there is no other earth. 1 is may...
No, there is no grid in the sky on a manifold. There is a distorted grid in the sky at each point. But each point has a different distorted grid, with...
That a manifold is a locally Euclidean object that exists on its own and does not live in an ambient Euclidean space? Most definitely. That doesn't me...
That's pretty mysterious to me. Do you mean that the new universes don't come into existence? Are you saying that they're always there? I should empha...
In math, the idea of a manifold is more abstract than that. Naively when we imagine the 2-torus like a big donut in space, we imagine the donut embedd...
False. Consider the Peano axioms. Given a number n, there's a greater number called the successor of n. That gives us a sequence 0, 1, 2, 3, ... Howev...
NoAxioms and I just had a lengthy conversation disproving this very point. Could you please review those posts? What you say is simply not true. At be...
I can only go by the Wiki article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation They say it's an interpretation. You say it's a done deal....
Perhaps I stand corrected. Are we talking about interpretations of QM? Or actually proven multiverses? My understanding is that Many Worlds is an inte...
By typical you mean random, or noncomputable. Alan Turing described computable numbers as numbers whose decimal (or binary, same concept) expression c...
