Funnily enough, it was thanks to the Christmas theme that I realized that "Threads" was highlighted when I went to "Profile -> Comments" to view my comments. I have been doing the latter for years. PG does need to rev

It may be a reason, but it is not the main reason, not by a long shot. India has a chronic problem of tax evasion, in the grand schemes of things only a handful of their citizens can claim a defense/offense of "it's ability t

You seem to be using encrypt/decrypt interchangeably. You had said: > You need his public key to "decrypt" it. My correction assumed that you had made a typo when you said "decrypt". Also you only need the reci

Unfortunately you give the system too little credit. In Aug 2013 a Federal judge recognized bitcoin as akin to a currency (stores value, can be used for exchange of goods). It also opened the doors to allow SEC to pursue these cases[0]. Gra

Actually, now that I think about it the foundation of the OP's case against the naming could be flawed. From my perspective a career is made up of a number of jobs done through the life of that type of work. For a marketer it would be
