Is there even a relationship between the two?Why is Bitcoin linked to Moore’s law?From John McAfee to Warren Buffett, everyone seems to have an opinion on where Bitcoin is headed, with wildly differing views. With the current prolonged bear market, the skeptics do appear to be proven right in their verdict of Bitcoin.Whereas people who are bullish on Bitcoin are preaching that the bull market will return eventually, citing a few reasons, such as institutional money coming in, the development of the Lightning Network and more merchants accepting Bitcoin as a method of payment. As countries like Venezuela continue to experience hyperinflation and start purchasing Bitcoin, mass adoption will arrive sooner than later.You have probably heard it all right? And I am going to guess that you have (...)

“Those of you in the old school who believe this is a bubble simply have not understood the new mathematics of the blockchain…. Bubbles are mathematically impossible in this new paradigm. ” — John McAfee, 46th(Maybe) President of the United States of AmericaWell, when John stated above, most of those who involved in cryptocurrency investing, at least as far as I saw, laughed it off and believed such claim made no sense. Empirically, this hasn’t aged well either, with bitcoin now hanging around 3500 USD per unit. However, if we look at this matter purely mathematically and statistically, he was actually more right than those who thought otherwise.Rigorously speaking, the definition of Financial Bubble is already flawed, bubble usually means the price of underlying hugely inflated from its (...)

Source: Bitcoin NewsCryptocurrencies have taken a big fall from their highs of November 2017. While the rest of the world was jubilantly waiting for the clock to strike midnight on New Year’s eve, crypto-traders all over the world were constantly logged into their favourite crypto-exchanges, hoping for a miracle to reverse the sudden fall in crypto-prices. They consoled themselves by saying that it was temporary.Those who had bought their first bitcoin during December 2017 learned first hand why cryptocurrencies are called the new wild west.Fast forward to July 2018 and the cryptocurrency prices are stuck at a third of their December 2017 highs with no sign of repeating their earlier feat. John McAfee claims that the BTC price will touch $500,000 by 2020 and an ICOBENCH report says that (...)

Pourquoi la NSA espionne aussi votre papa (#oupas) | BUG BROTHER
►http://bugbrother.blog.lemonde.fr/2013/06/30/pourquoi-la-nsa-espionne-aussi-votre-papa-oupas

Contrairement aux écoutes téléphoniques classiques, ce qui intéresse la NSA, ce n’est pas tant le contenu des télécommunications que leur contenant, ce que l’on appelle des méta-données : qui communique avec qui, quand, d’où, au sujet de quoi, en utilisant quels logiciels, passerelles, fournisseurs d’accès, adresses IP, etc (voir à ce sujet l’excellent et très pédago guide du Guardian, ou encore comment les méta-données d’une photographie a permis de géolocaliser puis d’arrêter John McAfee).

L’objectif est en effet de constituer un "graphe social" des personnes et organisations ciblées ("targeted") par la NSA, la CIA et le FBI, en demandant à ses analystes d’effectuer ce qu’elle qualifie de "contact chaining" :

« En général, ils analysent les réseaux situés à deux degrés de séparation de la cible. »

Autrement dit, la NSA espionne aussi ceux qui communiquent avec ceux qui communiquent avec ceux qui sont espionnés.

–—

"le contenant devient plus intéressant que le contenu" :

« Et toutes ces méta-données, on les stocke, sur des années et des années, et quand on s’intéresse à une adresse IP ou à un n° de tel, on va chercher dans nos bases de données, et on retrouve la liste de ses correspondants, pendant des années, et on arrive à reconstituer tout son réseau. »
