I've watched "Banking on Bitcoin", it's quite propagandist and mostly about crypto-activism. A bit like "Cowspiracy".

That made me laugh hard. I keep seeing more and more non-techies talk about investing in bitcoin and other cryptos. There's a problem when people invest in things they know absolutely nothing about.

It's a pyramid scheme in a sense that you depend on others to keep buying the bitcoin. If everyone suddenly lost trust in bitcoin you would lose everything, because technically, it has zero real value. That's why all the "bit

Most people will stereotype developers from any region of the world. Your stereotype is: much better than India, a bit worse than Western Europe, a lot worse than the US. A couple of my colleagues worked with Ukrainian dev shops and intere

How is this a startup? You can't scale it fast, it's not using an innovative business model, it's not driven by tech at all. It's just a normal company trying to offer a better service at higher prices — which is okay —
