TCP/IP is used for ransomware. I hope regulators save us from these criminals!

You can't access that page or toggle that checkbox unless you pay for Copilot first. This might be the most literal case I've ever seen of "if you're not paying, you're the product"

Why wouldn't they be interested in $billions of assets priced at pennies on the dollar?

I can take a guess at that "proprietary information". Most image optimization sites are just thin wrappers over something like mozjpeg/zopflipng/etc. 1% tech, 99% marketing

Bitcoin's original design was a public ledger with all transactions publicly visible. That has never changed since the beginning.

There's also a good amount of commercial and leaked source code on GitHub, including MS's own leaked Windows XP source. I haven't played around with Copilot yet, but if I ever do I plan on copy/pasting some win32 API def

There are ~18000 cryptos, and out of all those, maybe two worth owning. Do I need to go open short positions on 17998 assets before I can tell people "don't buy shitcoins"?
