Bitcoin is the only meaningful digital currency and sound money.

Run the game in the cloud, stream to the VR. The more you pay for cloud computing, the better your graphics. Why no company is doing that already?

A technology like Google Stadia will probably solve this. Nobody will need a expensive hardware to run it. The graphics will be generated in cloud computing and streamed to the VR. Keep creating hardwares to run better graphics is a dead end.

What's the chance of having a cancer after using it?

Very interesting invention though.

things in Brazil are getting really weird.. most ministers and politicians started to use alt-right vaporwave meme aesthetics on their social media profiles, even though this is a clearly neonazi joke

A ten year old technology named Blockchain could solve this problem.

Just another fancy token... not a real currency. The only global digital currency that has a future is bitcoin.

Well, clearly not an exponential growth.

The bitcoin software is not the same as before, updates have happened in the meantime. Now, 40% of all transactions happening are SegWit transactions, a lighter format which enables the network to handle a higher volume of transactions simultaneously. SegWit transactions are also cheaper in terms of fees.

So, the number of transactions can exceed the previous high without colapsing the confirmation time or fees.

The technology still evolving. 10 transactions is not and will not be the limit. The Lightning Network already proved that a much higher volume of bitcoin transactions can be made without slowing down the bitcoin network.

I like to think the energy consumption of the bitcoin network is an "idle energy":

10 transations/s = mid-size country

100 transations/s = mid-size country

10.000 transations/s = mid-size country

An increase in transations do not directly increase energy consumption.

Bitcoin on-chain transactions are almost on its historical peak again:

This forum has been denying bitcoin since the first time someone posted about it:
