@hmalviya9 Agree we are at this fork and I think regulated markets is what happens unless the user experience gets a whole lot easier. Right now itβs too hard to use real crypto. Retail is going ETFs and institutions are going to be the only ones left in real crypto.

Ok I looked up Jevonβs paradox - whatβs the βcoalβ in your example? ββ Jevons Paradox is an economic theory that suggests technological progress or efficiency improvements can increase, rather than decrease, the overall consumption of a resource. Named after the 19th-century economist William Stanley Jevons, who observed this phenomenon with coal usage, the paradox states: - **Increased Efficiency Leads to Increased Consumption:** When a resource becomes more efficient to use (e.g., through better technology), its effective price drops, making it more accessible or desirable to use more extensively. This can lead to an overall increase in the demand and consumption of the resource. **Example with Coal:** - Jevons noticed that improvements in the efficiency of steam engines in Britain led to an increase in coal consumption rather than a decrease. More efficient engines meant cheaper energy, which in turn stimulated further industrial growth and thus more coal use. **Modern Examples:** - **Energy-efficient appliances:** More efficient light bulbs or appliances can lower the cost of energy use, potentially leading to more units of the appliance being used or more frequent use, thereby increasing total energy consumption. - **Transportation:** More fuel-efficient cars might encourage more driving or more people to own cars, negating some of the efficiency benefits in terms of total fuel consumption. **Implications:** - This paradox suggests that relying solely on efficiency to reduce resource use might be counterproductive without accompanying policies like pricing mechanisms, regulation, or changes in consumer behavior. **Criticism and Context:** - The applicability of Jevons Paradox can vary by context. In some cases, efficiency might lead to absolute reductions in resource use, especially if there are caps or if the efficiency leads to saturation in demand. Understanding Jevons Paradox is crucial in debates about sustainable development, environmental policy, and resource management where efficiency gains do not automatically translate into conservation.

Amazing to see this launch and congratulations to the whole team that worked on it.

It would seem to me that china has yet another way to burrow itself into our devices. First was mass market infiltration with TikTok and now itβs targeting the inteligentisia with an AI app. I am not putting any of that on my phone.
DeepSeek's app tops the US Play Store; Appfigures says the DeepSeek app has 1.9M+ downloads on the App Store and 1.2M+ on the Play Store since mid-January 2025 (@indianidle / TechCrunch)
