Remember the delete Uber campaign, the Equifax breach, the WFC accounts, the Bank of America suits, the Intel chip vulnerability? The market doesn't. The market has a short memory, and FB is not going anywhere. However, there may be so

One of the upsides of BTC is that it is supposed to be costless and frictionless to sell across the globe, yet 1k+ arbs exist across exchanges. So much for that argument. Maybe segwit2 will help, or another altcoin will actually remove fric
