@joshtpm I went down the Wikipedia rabbit hole after reading this tweet, and found myself further confused. I hadn’t understood that “mining” is also the method by which transactions are verified. As fewer (and eventually no more) new coins are produced, what’s the incentive to “mine?”

@liamosaur I think if he had have considered 6+ doors (or read further down where they discuss it) he would have seen it sooner.
The "this is counterintuitive" all over the top of the Wikipedia page would make me reconsider my feelings on it hard, as others have clearly tread here before.

Fun Facts (via @jbenton):
1. The dot-com crash eliminated 98% of Yahoo’s value.
2. Today, Yahoo is still the 11th most-popular website in the world, right between Amazon and Wikipedia.

@aymanndotcom This reads like a bad Wikipedia take. Gaza shares a border w/Egypt as well which is also closed due to security considerations. Biggest issue for the Palestinians in Gaza is Hamas - terrorist org that unfortunately has effective control of their everyday lives

@WaltFrench @davidhogg111 You're using Wikipedia as a source, you automatically lose any debate at that point. At best you can refer to the sources section, but even that's not safe due to Wikipedia's major issue with circular references:

@DrMattyG @dbt @jhscott @VickerySec It's absolutely clear to anyone who is presented with the problem, given that the whole "trick" of the solution is dependent on the idea that the reveal is intentional. And Wikipedia, the article in question as presenting the information to laymen, also makes that clear

@liminal_warmth I prefer breadth-first to depth first here, because being well-regarded isn't a strong indicator of deeper truth. I suck down a few wikipedia articles every time an intellectual I'm not clear on pops up. Few warrant deeper reading, though Jung did get some.
