No because it never was like this. Nice try, though. Have fun blowing your fortune on something that will never catch on.

“Meeting with regulators” aka meeting with his tribe which I’m sure Gensler is a part of.
Look up how deep the FTX rabbithole goes. It affects all of crypto and even influenced US politics.
Are you from Montana originally?
Madoff would be more appropriate. Most normal people weren't affected by Theranos.

Crows are incredible. One of my favorites.

Also underrated: scrub jays.

Time to trim the fat from all the charlatans. Good riddance. It’s been needed to happen for years.
You voluntarily chose to work on a social media site. Easy come easy go.
Maybe they should have been working on something more valuable for the past 5+ years?

Nah I was at Credit Karma and Nextdoor. One of my favorite buildings to work in.
Re:Ask HN: Is Substack the New Medium? on Sunday October 09, 2022 @01:37AM (#33138522)
Medium was always a hobby for Ev, it seemed. You guys were in the same building as me for a few years (760 market). I think we may have even subletted from you at one point. But even back then it seemed like you had too many people. You can't get rid of substack, but you can differentiate. I'd suggest going all in on a decentralized platform. It's clear mastodon and others currently on the market will never cross the chasm. You have the network effect to do so while at the same time offering something different.
Celsius is not crypto. It's the equivalent of using a centralized service. Luddites gonna luddite.

>The information imbalance between online casino and players is absolute. Without regulation there would be no way to even know if the odds online casinos are giving you for a given game are true.

Also absolute: you being unable to comprehend OP’s comment about what “provably fair” means.

Seems like he needs to write a 419 email to retrieve it.

That's the trade-off and it's a feature, not a bug.
Re:Stripe has decided to nuke my entire business on Thursday September 15, 2022 @12:54PM (#32854904)
Uh, yes if you use Circle (centralized), Coinbase (centralized), etc etc. Get your coins off of exchanges and learn how to actually use crypto with the way it was intended.
