The repeated connotations about FTX guys not having any agency over their actions are becoming less and less interesting to read. It almost reads like your neighbor’s golden retriever ran a darknet drug market and everybody had no idea. I w

This happened to me too, just last year. I had an old eBay account, about fifteen years old, but I forgot even the email it was registered to, so I made a new one. Then I bought a small item I wanted, a watch strap for 20$. It had arrived a

Maybe I’m just too dense, but I had that impression about this essay too. It’s just that I was reading and reading and reading it, and at some point it started to resemble a twitch streamer that spends about an hour reading patch notes to a

You probably haven’t noticed /s but that’s alright. I strongly agree that it feels like this whole thing came from ancient times and the need to sync to day-night cycle because of how things were. In the same time I feel like the “morn

An afterthought: there are platforms with “bunch of bloggers” that we can pay money to, and they are called old school newspapers. But the implication remains: with the newspaper, you know what they do and what you pay money for. What does
