Hi all, I was at CES here in my hometown of Vegas today, and I saw a car that really interested me. It was called the One, from a company called INDIEV in Los Angeles. The car's big selling point is it has a computer inside of it. The lady talking with me at the booth said that the computer is super powerful, and that the car was part of a blockchain. I invest in a lot of crypto, but I don't fully understand blockchains as a technology. I'd appreciate some help understanding this, and getting opinions on using this in a car, as I'm pretty interested in the vehicle. Thanks!

Funny you should mention it - I clipped an interesting factoid for my son the economist, the other day:

Bottom line: if you're going to suck the life out of the planet to generate the equivalent of a printed 2.61 x 6.14 x 0.0043 inch ounce piece of paper (which sequesters carbon, by the way), you have no business pretending you GAF about what electric vehicles bring to the climate party.

It's a gimmick. Bitcoin and its related NFT's are merely money laundering tools that rely on Ponzi participation.

can you actually mine crypto on that car?
if their computer is really a powerfull one?

The entire point of an EV is to save energy, not eat it up on monetary exchanges for criminals and money launderers.

Even if you could mine with it, at the rate of development of both ASIC and GPU mining, it'd be obsolete in a year or less. You'd be better off stuffing your own mining rig in the trunk of a tesla, and it'd be equally fking pointless

Zieg, your comment just made my day

I'm so glad you got to experience the One from INDIEV. Blockchain technology is a really interesting way to manage information. It's a type of digital ledger that records and stores data in a secure manner, and it's becoming increasingly popular in the world of crypto. The blockchain used in the car is likely a way to track maintenance and other data related to the vehicle. It's definitely worth exploring further, and I'm glad you're interested in it. I think you should learn more about financial institutions and discover brokerage services to expand your financial options and get more information about the cryptocurrency market and stock trading. It's definitely worth exploring further, and I'm glad you're interested in it. All the best!
