Read_692 – A Quick & Dirty Explanation [DerGigi]

“Bitcoin is paradoxical. It is simple yet complicated, ever-changing yet unchangeable. A novel machine without any novel parts; a technological innovation that isn’t really about technology. You can’t touch it, yet it is hard money. You can’t see it, yet it will show you a vision of the future. You can’t possess it, yet thousands of people seem to be possessed by it.” – Dergigi

In the spirit of getting back to some of the basics, I want to open up a series of hitting basic concepts around bitcoin and how to use and interact with its network and many moving pieces with the opening chapter of Dergigi’s forthcoming book, 21 Ways. Chapter Zero: A Quick and Dirty Explanation…

Read_691 – A Native Protocol for Social Media [Jack Dorsey]

The problem today is that we have companies who own both the protocol and discovery of content. Which ultimately puts one person in charge of what’s available and seen, or not. This is by definition a single point of failure, no matter how great the person, and over time will fracture the public conversation, and…
