"los seres humanos debemos comportarnos con entereza y responsabilidad y agradecer los infortunios, pues sólo así podemos desarrollar la virtud."

La ética del estoicismo.

https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen%C3%B3n_de_Citio
"Los estoicos no creen que la vida esté gobernada por la suerte, el azar o las coincidencias: no creen en la casualidad, sino en la causalidad. Todos los sucesos de nuestra existencia están regidos por la "ley de la causa y el efecto" y recogemos lo que sembramos. La recompensa de asumir dicha responsabilidad y de esforzarnos por cambiar de actitud es la ataraxia, imperturbabilidad o paz interior frente a las circunstancias desfavorables. Esta se consigue con entrenamiento y práctica diarios, y para ello es indispensable la fuerza de voluntad para vencer las pasiones y conseguir resultados."

Introduction to BitCoin

Forget most things you've heard.  People discover BitCoin in a variety of ways, but usually pick up some sort of misconception like "BitCoin gives free money to people with computers" or "in order to use BitCoin I have to use a program that wastes electricity for nothing" along the way.  Here is a good summary to help you understand BitCoin in general, by focussing on what BitCoin is and what problem it solves.  These two things are not typically well explained on most websites, and it is difficult to appreciate just how effective a technology BitCoin is until they are understood.

"The United States Postal Service (USPS) has reportedly filed a patent for a blockchain-based mail-in voting system.
Following President Donald Trump’s conclusion that mail-in voting would represent ballots all over the place and fraudulent ballots would be named after dogs and dead people, the patent that was filed back in February 2020 was made public on Thursday 13th August."

I’ve also been influenced by my father’s – and mother’s – incredible tenacity in starting life entirely anew in the U.S. I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been, but they did it without complaint and always with gratitude. Whenever times get tough, I remember what my parents persevered through and know that I can get myself through anything.

What Bitcoin will look like in 30 years, what will happen to altcoins, the importance of specialization, SPV, payment channels, fiat currencies, Google/Facebook, and what's good about Marx.

Theory of Bitcoin is an educational initiative by Dr. Craig S. Wright and Ryan X. Charles.

"I would be surprised if 10 years from now we're not using
electronic currency in some way, now that we know a way to do it
that won't inevitably get dumbed down when the trusted third party
gets cold feet.

It could get started in a narrow niche like reward points,
donation tokens, currency for a game or micropayments for adult
sites. Initially it can be used in proof-of-work applications
for services that could almost be free but not quite.

It can already be used for pay-to-send e-mail. The send dialog is
resizeable and you can enter as long of a message as you like.
It's sent directly when it connects. The recipient doubleclicks
on the transaction to see the full message. If someone famous is
getting more e-mail than they can read, but would still like to
have a way for fans to contact them, they could set up Bitcoin and
give out the IP address on their website. "Send X bitcoins to my
priority hotline at this IP and I'll read the message personally."

Subscription sites that need some extra proof-of-work for their
free trial so it doesn't cannibalize subscriptions could charge
bitcoins for the trial.

It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on. If
enough people think the same way, that becomes a self fulfilling
prophecy. Once it gets bootstrapped, there are so many
applications if you could effortlessly pay a few cents to a
website as easily as dropping coins in a vending machine".

Congratulations to Satoshi on this first alpha release. I am looking forward to trying it out.

It's interesting that the system can be configured to only allow a certain maximum number of coins ever to be generated. I guess the idea is that the amount of work needed to generate a new coin will
become more difficult as time goes on.

One immediate problem with any new currency is how to value it. Even ignoring the practical problem that virtually no one will accept it at first, there is still a difficulty in coming up with a reasonable
argument in favor of a particular non-zero value for the coins.

As an amusing thought experiment, imagine that Bitcoin is successful and
becomes the dominant payment system in use throughout the world. Then the
total value of the currency should be equal to the total value of all the wealth in the world. Current estimates of total worldwide household
wealth that I have found range from $100 trillion to $300 trillion. With 20 million coins, that gives each coin a value of about $10 million.

So the possibility of generating coins today with a few cents of compute time may be quite a good bet, with a payoff of something like 100 million
to 1! Even if the odds of Bitcoin succeeding to this degree are slim, are they really 100 million to one against? Something to think about...
