Imagine how much energy it would save!

- It's the 100 year anniversary of the devastating hyperinflation in Weimar Germany. But surely no modern economy could do something like this!
- Replying to @APompliano and @LynAldenContactWhat... is that real? Anyone listening to @LynAldenContact for even a short period of time can easily tell she has intellectual rigor. One of the smartest, most honest and balanced people I have listened to.
- "Privately issued"? Even the IMF doesn't seem to know the first thing about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is public - more public than an individual, more public than a company, more public than a government, than a national currency, more public than anything you have probably encountered.Privately issued cryptoassets like Bitcoin come with substantial risks. Making them equivalent to a national currency is an inadvisable shortcut. Read more in our latest #IMFBlog by the IMF’s Tobias Adrian and @RhodaWeeksBrown: bit.ly/2TBEnvL
- Replying to @RiskSystem_GamePong and Space invaders were simply competently made games with almost no competition. I don't think they would be successful if they had to release for the first time today...
- This is what @hodlonaut's lawyer was trying to get across - unfortunately too technical for a courtroom setting. Highlighted is a documented lie, still present today on Wright's blog. There is no way to pretend it isn't a lie, nor a way to claim it wasn't intentional.
- Hey journalists: blockchain does not have potential in cars, voting, polling or healthcare and is not being widely adopted by a range of industries. It's good for only one thing: money without government But that's a pretty big thing.
- Replying to @zackvoellLitecoin currently still has the best balance of exchange implementations/market cap/liquidity/low fees for moving money around. I challenge you to show me anything better.
- Replying to @strwbrrypaulFor the people who know enough about the Beatles to be impressed by this, yet still have never heard of Paul McCartney.
- It's going up FOREVER, Laura. FOREVER.
- Something strange I often wondered about in the #Bitcoin whitepaper... Satoshi wrote: "we implement the proof-of-work by incrementing a nonce in the block until a value is found that gives the block's hash the required zero bits." BUT! 👇👇
