Not your keys, not your cheese. It's sad how many people have to learn this the hard way.

No, it's because I desire pseudonymity. These messages are not private. They are public, which is why you're able to read them. I hope this has helped you understand the difference between pseudonymity and privacy. But if it hasn&

I don't know why this is downvoted. Meritocracy is a notoriously hard thing to measure, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

Who am I? All you know is my pseudonym. You don't know my real name, yet here we are on a public forum having a public conversation. These messages are publicly readable. Or are you trying to claim that because you have not verified my

The ad-hominem isn't advancing your cause lol. Rust defaults to the MSVC toolchain. Surely you knew that. You have to go out of your way to install the incompatible GNU toolchain. You're the only one here complaining about MSVC. H

That issue doesn't justify saying it has poor support. Rust is known to have excellent support for Windows, and has the exact same dependency.

Satoshi's transactions are not private. They are recorded on the public ledger where anyone can see them. You are using words without understanding what they mean.

Pseudonymity is not privacy. If I publish your text messages online but omit the names, your conversations are no longer private, names or no names. And if you publish your transactions to a public ledger, even without names the transaction

Privacy is not incompatible with good old-fashioned detective work or police work. I use encrypted messaging, but if I decide to commit a crime I'm under no delusion that encryption will save me. Why can't the same be true for mon

FTX has always been a bit of a joke in the crypto community. I elaborated in a previous comment. Kraken has been a bastion of sanity amidst the chaos for a decade now. No prop trading, no dizzying corporate structure, no "liquidity&quo

This is logically incoherent. It would only be true if you chose a token completely at random instead of choosing a widely-used token you wanted to use. Reminds me of "it either works or it doesn't, so there's a 50/50 ch

Any system that is open to the public will (sadly) have to deal with bad actors. 85% of all email is spam[1]. But that's not a value judgment on the technology--Humanity can still get value from email. Sturgeon's law says 90% of e

Speaking as someone tangential to the space, I have to disagree. SBF always been kind of loathed by people in the know. I think the reason was because of his political involvement and how he pushed for regulation, while many in crypto are a

What you saw as a history lesson, I saw as a deconstruction of the anatomy of a four-year cycle. Interesting how we all see what we want to see.

You're talking about MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value). If it's below 1, it means the average investor is carrying a loss, and > 1 means carrying profit. Historically every halving it has spent some time below 1, and we are

Nothing but crashes. Bitcoin crashed to $2 in 2011, then it crashed to $250 in 2015, then it crashed to $3000 in 2019, and now it's crashed again to $15000. Smart money knows to stay away and avoid the crashes.
