This is a longish read, 39 pages, that came out last December. For those interested, it provides a good breakdown the of cryptocurrency ecosystem and advocates for the need for regulation. Worth your time if you have curiosity about that area of the economy.

I’ll definitely check out the white paper.

The name of the author of that paper is Nicholas Weaver. I haven't seen his tv show "The CryptoFiles".
Interesting read but I still don't get the hype with or without government regulations in place. I'm sure tho the brains bigger than mine will sort this all out eventually.

I remember watching "McCloud", also remember Dennis Weaver in a thriller movie called "Duel". Not sure how I managed to get Dennis into the thread title, sorry for any flashbacks I induced.
Brains are funny things sometimes - it amuses me that seeing Dennis' name the first thing I thought of was a tv show I hadn't seen in 40+ years but I couldn't tell you what I ate for breakfast yesterday.

I thought the movie was dumber than dirt, it didn't make any sense to me. Maybe there's some allegory or foreshadowing or other narrative technique that I was missing as a kid, but I'm not anxious to watch it again.

I read a series of cryptocurrency articles in Time magazine years ago, and it seemed to make sense to me (at that time). NFTs, much less so; but I don't understand, at all, how one company can/would "support" NFTs in the first place. I suspect a lot of people, some maybe even smarter than me, will be losing a bunch more money.
Funny how, once certain crises fade (COVID, trumplicans) other things keep popping up to take their place. Sigh.
