Egypt's tourism revenues hit a record high of $13.6 billion in FY2022/2023. Spending less than 10% to increase the purpose of choosing this country as a destination sounds reasonable, but as long as the P&L balances, I don't see why not.

Not true. I picked up a git repo 18 months old. I tried to set up my rust dev stack to match the version in cargo. Then hit a lot of issues with dependencies due to abandoned repos used for the crates. I gave up and moved on.

Because if you don't kill yourself, insurance will care footing the bill to send you to the hospital. Maybe insurances shouldn't cover people without seatbelts and have the ambulance let them be injured at the scene.

Michael and Nayib are gamblers who like to take risks. It could have worked the opposite for them if BTC wasn't so connected with the stock market. I don't think they realized this until it was too late.
