News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Much like Elon Musk couldn't liquidate his stocks and wind up a billionaire, my bitcoin is nowhere nearly worth $70B. I won't tell you my estimate, but I will say that it's quite modest by comparison.

Do you think the world really has $70B in cash to blow on bitcoin right now? Big players mine the stuff, they don't buy it.

There are only two mistakes in joining a Ponzi scheme:

1. Coming late to the party

2. Getting caught

The struggle is real
Wrong again
How big of a bet?

> Bitcoin was designed by an individual with intimate knowledge of the state of the art in suspicions of NSA backdoors.

Insiders at the NSA (or any other TLA, foreign or domestic) also fit this description. The strongest position is to know both the truth, and the most compelling misconceptions.

With my family, for sure. I hate missing dinner more than anything. But it's more important to prioritize my face-to-face time with them, than my collaborators.
