There's a reason no normal human being outside of a small nerd-circle uses PGP for encrypting mails or rsync instead of Dropbox. Why would any non-techie ever want to deal with safely storing keys to a wallet. Or without having access

Let it burn indeed - it's a hands-on history lesson for GenZ tech bros why every single cumbersome, expensive regulation exists in the financial sector currently. Besides, why should there be a need for regulation in a trustless system

My take-away is that any of the other 4 hierarchy levels between joel and bill should have challenged & asked those questions already. When you already have 6 levels of hierarchy, is it really the job of the CEO to dig that deep on tech

As someone who produces music with synthesizers - there's also no (well working & established) standard for running/managing multiple audio sources over usb. There are some valiant efforts (e.g. Overbridge by Elektron), but ev
