This is a poor UX critique. Those problems "still exist in 2019". Not in 2022. You're running macOS Catalina. (Actually, they don't "still exist in 2019" either). Yes, files auto-arrange. cmd+J, Sort by: Name,

War casualties follow power laws, not normal distributions. It's a nonsensical "analysis".

The problem with sanctions is that they A) fail to cause regime change and B) cause deaths. In Venezuela, sanctions caused 40,000 deaths in 2 years. Now, domain names going away won't cause deaths, but then again they won't cause

It may interest you to know that Namecheap, just a few days ago, banned a few domain names purely based on an ambiguous tweet that got 8 likes , that didn't even ask for those domains to be banned or cite any ToS violation. https:&#x

Doesn't every domain name service pay taxes? (including what these users will switch to?) I don't see how taxes are relevant.

False. Russia is using gold to avoid sanctions. They've been building up gold reserves for the past decade.

Yes, governments can try, but there will always be ways to fight it; including using sneakernet to exchange hardware wallets, instead of traceable on-blockchain transactions. Crypto is as impossible to ban as the internet at this point.

Most of the anti-crypto critiques in Silicon Valley bring up these exact arguments: it's speculative, and it enables scams. At its root, it's a hatred of the "get rich quick" aspects of crypto. It evokes the same contemp
