The “not your keys set” is fine, most of them got their BTC at $1 and if BTC falls to $3 they still tripled initial investment. The people who got in later don’t understand “owning” a bitcoin on an exchange and having the key in your posse

I’m Torn: his credentials are impressive so I should listen to what he has to say, but he also paid for Twitter Blue so I assume he’s an utter moron.

The lying is so egregious, it’s like he thinks the truth is beneath him. I’m not an investment genius, but I’m not buying any stock of a company led by a petulant child. I do not think any rational investor is going to be impressed with thi

Nah. You just get a promotion every two years, and boom, CEO at 35. Simple!

I think the point being made is that somebody who would get drunk and edit comments on a forum they control is the LAST person who should run a forum of any sort. Also, why do people who are defending him always refer to him being drunk?

First time I used OpenTable I went to a highly rated and expensive place, had horrible food, and then my wife spent most of mothers day in bed with food poisoning. 0/10.

I moved from Twitter to BlueSky and am much happier. Mastodon wasn’t for me. When I log into Twitter now it’s just to see how bad it’s gotten and I log out. I’m sure it will be similar for Reddit - no clear “winner” at first, but the start

Meanwhile I know of highly skilled engineers in FEDGOV who not only experiment with the APIs for hobby projects but could give a very good lecture on how they work, their limitations, and affordances. But hey, I guess all those dumb dumbs a
