I don't see how there is ever going to be wide adoption of a currency that is currently held in its entirety by something like 0.2% of the population, and claims to be impossible to expropriate. When people see that kind of concentrati

It might have been better to simply reference the discussion without singling out the person involved. At the end of the day it was an organizational decision. It's to GitLab's credit that there's enough transparency to eve
