But my point is the firms CAN'T turn off their contracts on the blockchain. Anyone can call the contracts.

It'll be curious to see how these decentralized lending platforms respond. They can put up disclaimers/walls on their websites, but the platforms are on the blockchain and can't be censored.

I hope you're right. I think the major tipping point would be a major exchange deciding to no longer accept it.

People have been yelling about Tether for years, myself included. But nothing seems to stop it. Not lawsuits, not major news articles. The conclusion I draw is that, yes, the game is rigged - AND EVERYONE IS OK WITH IT. As long as it's

It seems like it would be much harder to discover other content I'm interested in though, if it were removed.

So, it seems like you'd still need to use metamask (or similar) to store your keys and sign transactions. Then metamask (or similar) could call cloudflare to publish the transaction. Metamask is a giant pain for new users. I was hoping

My friends and I started a website devoted to a multiplayer game back in college at the turn of the century. It had a forum that was heavily used. Somehow, 20+ years later, it's still going. 14 million posts and 196 people online now.

The article is a bit confusing. He was caught sending cash through the mail for Bitcoin, but that’s not illegal, is it? It says he was a dark web drug dealer but doesn’t describe how he was caught doing that.

Very interesting article. It mainly focuses on what happens after an attack, but I was left wondering - before selling the insurance, does the insurance company require the insured to perform any kind of basic cyber security audit? Are they

This is one of those ideas that may sound good in theory, but will be impossible to apply fairly. There are many "meme" coins that are now dedicating a portion of each transaction towards charity - saving apes, funding animal she

I know it's a low rate and I'm surprised I can find pretty good quality at that rate. The books I publish are pretty simple - relatively short, non-fiction. I imagine fiction books requiring voices/emotion would require a hig

The books I publish are ghost written, so the "authors" don't get royalties either.

Prior to the audition phase, the book owner (me) specifies a pay band. Lowest is $50-$100 per finished hour of audio. I think above that is $100-200, and there's one more above that. I go for $50-100 PFH and get dozens of auditions. My
