I don't know why people don't understand this. There was a twitter spaces a few weeks ago after one of these ETF delays where a bunch of bigwigs pushing these ETFs seemed clueless or willfully ignorant of this fact. Its just pathetic.

I’m on my second Steelcase Leap and don’t have enough good things to say about the chair. Only reason for the second one was having to leave it behind in a move otherwise I’m pretty sure these chairs can easily last 5-10+ years of everyday use

I can really get behind your first bullet. Taking clearly defined medical terminology and exporting to strange contexts just sound like nonsense to anyone that uses those terms with any regularity.

If you control mining you do control how transactions work. You are running the code that handles transactions and you can change that code to handle transactions in any way you want. There is a history of this happening too but thus far with little effect on the entire network but worst case you could create a hardfork.

I really hope there is more to this story than the public is privy to, and I hope we find out about it soon.

I would definitely advocate for this approach. At a minimum this is a worthwhile experience if you can get your mind fully behind it.

the dot com bubble at least had some good ideas and with it some of the foundation of what the internet would become. crypto has started with a set of ideals and promises but has been completely usurped by con men and bad ideas. you have to look really, really hard to find the good ideas.

I really wish I noticed this before I dished out for premium. Was sadly disappointed when my inbox was just flooded with terrible, unsophisticated articles I don’t care much for.
