The parent did not complain about the ban being ineffective. He complained about it hurting his niche hobby. That's selfish. As for the argument that the ban is a bad idea because it is ineffective. I don't know if the ban will he

Hi! I've never used or even heard of MakerDAO. Their page is shiny, but not being in finance, I can't figure out what the point of it is. Can you explain what is so "insanely powerful" about it? And why/how would an
