Facebook’s ads business has been destroyed by Apple with the introduction of ATT. It’s pretty clear this is a permanent shift downward in revenue for them, unless advertisers like them are able to improve ads attribution.

Many crypto "communities" that reinforce an in-crowd mentality and simultaneously pitch buying into a coin/NFT as a path to financial prosperity are stunningly similar. They generally just target male aspirations instead of f

The amount of mental gymnastics residents (voters) of SF do to normalize the narrative of property crime, along with the horrific state of affairs for mental health and drug addiction, is absolutely wild. Especially given the amount of lip

I understand that it’s invested right away, but it buys you more pro rata in future rounds than founders currently give up to YC under the deal.

USDC IS A BASKET OF SECURITIES. It’s literally cash plus treasuries. I don’t think Coinbase is acting in good faith when they say they don’t understand why they are getting blasted by the SEC. This is the exact same issue with the original

Lets not forget a few years ago when Ripple was running around trying to pay companies millions of dollars to list XRP. Ripple has always operated under a thin veneer of legitimacy, but it's basically to cover up the massive exit scam

In case 2. you're being a little disingenuous by oversimplifying the issue. The issue is that when "bad guys post bad stuff", it gets amplified because its engaging, and can really distort people's reality and nudge thei
