If it's not about cashing out then why is the primary hype mechanism talking about the dollar-equivalent value of anything crypto related? Why does it matter if an NFT was sold for $300k worth of ether?

The premise of this article (that "Once an addict always an addict" is false when evaluated from a rational, scientific standpoint) is flawed from the start because the phrase isn't _meant_ to be a rational, scientific claim.

Yeah, it does. In context, this letter, especially given it's posted to the FSF site and not, say, his personal website, is meant to justify electing him to the board and address the backlash against it, and I don't really have mu

If you're looking to see adoption rate, what you really want to be comparing isn't absolute numbers of Chrome vs Firefox users, but rather the adoption rate of your add-on vs your potential users. If Chrome has 10,000 potential us
