You mentioned that you started looking into this via /r/buttcoin. When doing your research for this project, what steps did you take to mitigate any sort of bias you may have had considering you started from an anti-crypto place?

That turned out to be fake I think.

Evidence can appear to mean very different things when looking at it through a biased lens, and what I’m hearing is that you didn’t make any effort to mitigate it. Rather than look at evidence and come to a conclusion, it seems that you started with a conclusion and then figured out how to make the evidence support it.

There are plenty of people both pro and anti crypto that would suggest they’ve looked at the evidence and came to their conclusion. Most would also probably say they’re willing to admit their claims are wrong if they see compelling evidence, and yet very very few people actually do that.

It seems notable that this is the only unanswered highly upvoted question.

Based on Felipe’s response, it would seem like the plan would be to sell this info to the government so they can use infrastructure to work on reducing litter. My explanation is obviously oversimplified, but is that roughly correct?
