I don't think Zerodium payouts are lump sum... I believe they are staggered in order to mitigate against this stuff.

IMO, companies that do WFH well are ones that are designed for the work to be async.

Cryptocurrency is programmable money. People interact with each other using money all day, and this is a technology that augments human interaction. Just because the most vocal narrative are the unrealized fantasies you mention, doesn'

I agree with you. I'm not talking about bitcoin, but crypto as a whole.

"literally nothing" is your opinion.

The most aggressive estimates I've seen are below 1% (maybe around half), which is quite literally a rounding error. Don't get me wrong I agree it's a lot, but it's a drop in the bucket on the global scale. What about th

"For no benefit" is not an objective read. A lot of folks are benefitting. IMO the environmental impact of crypto is also completely overstated. There are issues so much bigger than crypto's energy consumption that it's

NFTs have perpetual royalties baked in which are much better for the artists. Buying an NFT from an artist IS buying something from them.

by doopy1 5y ago
This whole rant assumes that people just buy NFTs to sell them to the next guy, but that's not the case. Some people buy NFTs to support artists (like Patreon) - others are gamified to represent something in a dapp, for example metaver

Is it really home video if a DIY youtuber spends 10's of thousands of dollars on a setup to have high quality production value?

They can't, because it's not.

I think it's that the companies themselves own expensive real estate, campuses, etc.... not necessarily the leadership.

Yes, I am invested in crypto, and yes, I agree that crypto makes some forms of crime easier. There is no denying that, but I stand by my opinion regarding ransomware. Ransomware does not exist because of crypto, it's just the method of

They can still send wire transfers.

Ransomware is not an innovation that came as a result of cryptocurrency, it was just accelerated by it. If you kill cryptocurrency, I guarantee the only thing it will do is increase the amount of the average ransom, because they will be har
