while giving old tech a pass Tv ratings, seatbelts, car seats, and crash safety regulations exist. Also books may give you an idea but they cannot interact with you in real time. Suggesting it is the same is disingenuous.

Sure, I get your point. I don't really consider stablecoins or even most cryptocurrencies true crypto due to human control (which invalidates the value of crypto). I've watched for over a decade how this forum utterly decimates an

Technical solutions and alternatives can provide enough leverage for the common citizen to force the hand of those in power. It might not fully "solve" the issue, but making it easier to route around will always force those in pow

I’m shocked how everyone just says yes and does the scan. Never had a TSA employee not make some eye-roll or snarky remark. They're aware of the social shaming loophole.
