I have tried and failed to subscribe to all 3 of you.
It may be a problem with my hotmail preferences.

PS.

Today,I discovered a link to an essay with many links
to a debate started by Mark Andrressen that may interest the 3 of you.

It starts out with “I tire of the Andreessen spurred discussion of “cultures that build.” I agree with the sentiment; I do miss the America that could make stuff”.

I see several objections to Bitcoin as an alternative currency:
1. Huge holdings of bitcoin are in the vaults of a few people – do we want another set of otherwise clueless gazillionaires in the mix?
2. Bitcoin blockchain transactions are grossly energy inefficient.
3. Bitcoin blockchain transactions are executed on server farms operated by a handful of unsavory organizations.
4. Bitcoin does not support government investments in society.
