    4. McDonald's serves 62 million customers every day

      That is 718 sales every second. The Bitcoin network can process less than 5 transactions per second, while consuming almost as much energy as the entire nation of Argentina. It would take miners...

      That is 718 sales every second.

      The Bitcoin network can process less than 5 transactions per second, while consuming almost as much energy as the entire nation of Argentina. It would take miners on the blockchain 144 days to process just 24 hours worth of sales from McDonald's.

      The math only gets marginally better for Ethereum.

      I feel very uncertain about how people can think that this is a viable replacement for conventional currencies and digital payment systems.

    6. Do you have an article of clothing or costume piece you enjoy wearing?

      I've spoken to a couple of my friends who have mentioned that sometimes they wear a special outfit or dress up in order to feel better/get out of a lull. Even when I'm feeling pretty good on the emotional front, I've noticed that I have some favorite pieces I regularly cycle through.

      Do you have a favorite outfit, piece of clothing/accessory, type of fabric/style, or costume piece you enjoy wearing? What is it? How does that piece make you feel when you put it on? Do you wear it in public? Does the piece have any sentimental value? Not a totally related question, but if you were a cartoon character who wore the same outfit every episode, what would your outfit be?

    7. Banking regulations and collateral damage: Tweetstorm by patio11

      @Patrick McKenzie: Unfortunately the way this is usually implemented is "X stamps and we fire you as a customer."In much of the world, banks are not obligated to continue doing business with people who cause them lots of headaches or cost, and the headaches/cost are not evenly distributed. https://t.co/tufbFyRitG
