It's a permissioned blockchain. But for practical purposes, I like to think of PoA as PoS where the stake is their off-chain reputation.

Kind of. PoA is PoS where the stake is their reputation.

It is pretty clear that Bitcoin as a blockchain is a colossal waste of energy. As BTC custody continues centralizing to a few ETFs, CEXs, institutions, in the long term >50% of BTC will be held by a handful of organisations Might as well just cancel PoW and move to PoA at that point. It would actually be *more decentralized* as PoW will inevitably centralize over to a handful of industrial players and pools due to crippling economies of scale. Plus, it'll solve the security budget problem. As before, the full nodes will be there as the last line of defence irrespective The only thing matters for BTC is it remains a speculative store-of-value, doesn't matter the mechanism to achieve that https://x.com/i/trending/1885868663116296256

Nah. Congress is responsible for declaring war. Cuban Missile Crisis is beyond a simple Executive order. I'd rather have a going-senile president that listens to cabinet members than a deranged one ready to prime nukes without Congressional approval.

Also, he should've mentioned that luxury and luxury electric cars are amazing in China. Nowhere else do $50k cars look like $500k cars in America.

Uhh. China was never that bad in the first place for the past 2 decades. Maybe he was going around the shittier parts of China before.

So what does this mean in the greater context? I don't remember anything particularly important happening around 2011-2012 other than the bottom of housing prices and the supposed end of the world. Housing prices are at ATH now.

Hopefully this channel works out better than the (private-invite) Coinbase Wallet Discord server, because that server is a barely-moderated mess.
