The homo oeconomicus does not produce food. It's junk (food). The result of such an 'evolution in progress' at an artificially enforced (state, church, money) - and therefore exponentially increasing speed - is a species captured in an evolutionary cul-de-sac. At the moment we are watching the 'finale furioso'. Within the last 50 years, the bmi changed more than within one million years before.
Crypto will terminate the economy and the society (which is organised violence / collectivism). It leads to the rebirth of the community and therefore the rebirth of the homo sapiens.
A bit extreme, but count me in, (from my perspective it's just the unwinding of malinvestment and humans being the most versatile spies will adapt)

Well, they got the title right, but degrades to quotes from Rickards shilling for theoretic alt-platforms toward the end. :/

For example, Litecoin, the second-largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization, offers a more complex problem to solve and is therefore more difficult to "mine," or create.
Not true.. All of this not true.
You what? The whole thread? Or just certain sections you disagree with.. care to elaborate?
Maybe he means humanity, as we know it.

Any theory why so many commodities are heading down at the moment? Especially when QE is still going strong.
Manipulation perhaps?
QE's all gone to the wrong places, ie, the deflationary black hole of UST's and Fed Excess Reserves. not to mention the stock mkt.
It could be the beginning of a hyperdeflation. These indicators are all early stages in the production structure, which would see low prices first. But no use to blame me if it does not happen.
Before the agricultural revolution, it took humanity about one million years on average to develop enough infrastructure/capability to support an additional one million humans living at subsistence levels. After the agricultural revolution, that changed to talking only a few hundred years. Now, after the industrial revolution, that takes 90 minutes on average.
There are huge side effects:

That's important but the kicker is overall economic growth, we're moving from a meme of more to a meme of better. The problem is the centers of control are working from the ideology of Co opting / controlling the supply of more. Monopolies have no value when people find alternatives, micro electronics, alternate energy and food security technologies like aquaponics (oh and money) are reshaping everything.
Forget it, Adrian.
In economics, the Jevons paradox (/ˈdʒɛvənz/; sometimes Jevons effect) is the proposition that as technology progresses, the increase in efficiency with which a resource is used tends to increase (rather than decrease) the rate of consumption of that resource.[1] In 1865, the English economist William Stanley Jevons observed that technological improvements that increased the efficiency of coal-use led to the increased consumption of coal in a wide range of industries. He argued that, contrary to common intuition, technological improvements could not be relied upon to reduce fuel consumption.[2]
The issue has been re-examined by modern economists studying consumption rebound effects from improved energy efficiency. In addition to reducing the amount needed for a given use, improved efficiency lowers the relative cost of using a resource, which tends to increase the quantity of the resource demanded, potentially counteracting any savings from increased efficiency. Additionally, increased efficiency accelerates economic growth, further increasing the demand for resources. The Jevons paradox occurs when the effect from increased demand predominates, causing resource use to increase

I'm aware of Jevons_paradox, but much smarter people than me (Satosi) know it's only supply and demand that brings it into equilibrium. The divergence in usage as a result of innovation also express it's self in an economy as art and culture ultimately this is enriched experiences.
We won't find a comfortable equilibrium with constant economic growth as managed under the target of central banks.
With or without central banks: "a comfortable equilibrium with constant economic growth" is an oxymoron.
An economy is a collectivist organisation (state bastard), and:
"Essentially, the economy is an engine that transforms resources into waste."
http://www.financialsense.com/contributors/ugo-bardi/2011/07/22/entropy-peak-oil-and-stoic-philosophy-part-2
An economy is by extension part of an ecosystem, entropy is a feature, one which drives the evolution of life. Waste as president in you referenced material is a byproduct of an economy artificially stimulated by monetarist policy.
The homo oeconomicus is an artificially stimulated homo sapiens. Monetarist policies are a byproduct of that artificial life.
But just after writing "waste = food" I realised there is one type of waste which is actually waste and that is spent uranium.
The homo oeconomicus does not produce food. It's junk (food). The result of such an 'evolution in progress' at an artificially enforced (state, church, money) - and therefore exponentially increasing speed - is a species captured in an evolutionary cul-de-sac.

oh my. we've entered silver free fall. there's no support until about 13.43:
hmm, should I buy at $15 or at $5?
Maybe I'll do both...
shorts on bfx at 1 month (or longer) high > 10 kBTC
yeah, i like the looks of that.
I'll get excited once the ratio of longs / shorts drops below BTCUSD price. Currently it's at 2000 USD/BTC.
I still think that bitcoin will be the "ultimate" game-changer as how people will value e-currency
Squeeze tightening
this definitely sounds promising

James Rickards, a financier and author, says he sees potential in technologies that process faster, cheaper and more transparent exchanges that go beyond trading money. Companies using these new technologies, he says, "allow consumers to buy products or to send payments in seconds at a fraction of the cost" of regular currency.
that's actually very good for him
He still sees gold as the endgame for the dollar though.
He figures that when dollar hegemony fails, all the others will go with it and the US will be the first to issue a gold backed currency, and thereby regaining currency hegemony. Bitcoin is potentially a game changer though. If it progresses in time.
10yr UST futures Note turning up tonite. Moar black hole sh*t:
...
...
USTs will be the last man standing.
at the expense of the USD?
Yup.
Just like Japan is doing with the Yen. Buy all the bonds! M2 be damned!
sounds about right to me.
Moar Blackhole sh*t!
