That's the whole point. Code is law. The alternative is our current, arcane legal system - only interpretable by lawyers who charge $600/hr.

I'm a pretty experienced trader and worked on the Payments team at Coinbase, dealing with ACH, wires, and whatnot. If it's hard for me, can't imagine what the platform is like for others. Coinbase has an alumni Slack filled w

Coinbase has been using Morgan Stanley's Shareworks platform to manage the direct listing, which has been a nightmare to use. ACH transfers take over a week and the platform has a ton of technical issues.

Can connect y'all directly with our source in the Philippines if you DM me on Twitter! Better to go straight to the source in my opinion, rather than using something like Fiverr. Going direct is cheaper, allows you to interview around
