  • The big thing people over look when considering the we are broadcasting thousands od watts into space, they might hear use is SNR

    Signal to noise ratio. (the more random stuff on a frequency the harder it is to read the signal)

    Yes, humans are pumping out a huge amount of radio (etc) signals into space. it is not coherent or directed.

    Thousands of antennae all over the world pumping different signals but from far away, they are all noise interfering with each other.

    IIRC: Even if there was a radio telescope only a few light years away, all they would see pointing directly at earth would be static.







  • you seem to think about cryptocurrencies like gold as well; an investment.

    because that is what it actually is used for.

    My question was about the future of them as a normal currency

    That is dead and burred.

    The one thing a currency needs is a relatively stable value, otherwise it is useless as a medium of exchange…ie: money.

    While crypto is as stable as that bear that ate a couple of kg of cocaine.

    I think of it as a ponzi scheme because that us what it has become.
