RE: Governmental Interference Causes Problems -- Week 13 Response
My solution to this type of problem is to have the government provide a one-time grant for such an institution to be constructed/implemented, and then have no further intervention from the government.

RE: Week 13 Response -- Subsidies
Yes, short term subsidies would cause less distortion to markets and might plausibly result in a net benefit to society (especially if externalities are involved and the subsidies are only relied upon

RE: THE BURDEN OF FREEDOM
A few summers ago, as I was trying to finish up my dissertation for my entrepreneurship PhD, my wife and kids went to her parents for the weekend (I think it was Independence Day). As they were packing

RE: Proof of Brain Update - Voting Governance and New Changes
Personally, I think tipping rather than (or in addition to) upvoting might be a better way to counter "erroneous" downvoting. The reason for that is, when you upvote a downvoted post, you are

RE: Question: Why is this Post Hidden on Hive ?

See this post by @proofofbrainio, announcing the upgrade of proofofbrain.io to Outpost within the next few weeks. Outpost is a new front-end that has NFT capabilities built-in (minting, selling, etc.).

RE: POB SQUID Greedy Yellow Bird Game (Round 6)
Sure thing. You're the boss. (Quite honestly, I thought it was intentional). The other fix is to just encourage folks to edit their prior (and future) comments.

RE: POB SQUID Greedy Yellow Bird Game (Round 6)
A valid comment is ... not a comment that has not been edited. Aha, so it looks like there are zero valid comments yet, for none have been edited! Beware the double negative, my dear @watson. At this rate,

RE: HIVE & LeoFinance Will Thrive - You Ask Why?
I don't see technology as evil in the slightest. Okay, I misinterpreted what you were saying. Part of our disagreement may be mostly semantic. I almost never use the term 'evil' to describe other human

RE: Baseline Aggregate Investing-I'm Going to Blow Your Mind!
If you started with $100 (on red, before the first black you mentioned) and were applying the double-your-bet-after-a-loss strategy, that 16th bet would've cost you $3.2 million, just to win that initial

RE: Baseline Aggregate Investing-I'm Going to Blow Your Mind!
A friend of my shared that "guaranteed to win" double-your-bet-after-a-loss strategy with me about 30 years ago. The 'catch' is that if you run out of money and can't cover the next bet, you

RE: Earning Report Of @onealfa.pob and onealfa.leo accounts POB, LEO, HIVE, VESTS, HBD (All the time)
Something doesn't add up. You reported (here) that onealfa's total POB earnings were 2237.954939. You reported (above) that onealfa.pob's total POB earnings were 69641.87196 and onealfa.leo's total POB

RE: Earning Report Of @onealfa account POB, HIVE, VESTS, HBD (All the time)
Thanks. That should be relevant and useful (provided you are including all 3 accounts in the same report). Having one report with 1 account another report with the other 2 accounts would not be helpful,

RE: Earning Report Of @onealfa account POB, HIVE, VESTS, HBD (All the time)
I appreciate the effort here, but without including onealfa's obvious alt accounts (onealfa.pob and onealfa.leo), this post gives very little useful information.

RE: Hive-engine soon becoming "Easiest to Use All-Crypto Wallet"
It is definitely much easier to use Hive account credentials via Keychain compared to most other crypto wallets, and the fee less transactions and small H-E deposit fees are also hugely beneficial. However,
