The SEC can only bring civil charges. Their enforcement actions are also procyclical: They collect the bodies.

It’s not just about exchanges it’s about taxation. So long as governments can enforce taxation (e.g. income, sales, VAT). They maintain the power to restrict mediums of payment. The world your proposing isn’t just about upending financial p

OK. All Monero addresses are banned. Done.

It’s hell of easy to prevent transaction. You publish a wallet blacklist and prohibit all exchange services from processing tainted bitcoins.

IIRC those credit default swaps actually almost became worthless overnight due to an important bank almost failing.

Because it’s in no one’s interest to see Tether collapse. The damage to the crypto “ecosystem” would be profound. So the major players work together to make sure the music doesn’t stop.

If the community just focused on creating a great package manager instead of an Everything Monster, and “meeting developers where they are”, then Nix might do something great.

SBF may have hit a ceiling of punishment. What are they going to do? Add another lifetime jail sentence? Another billion dollars he cannot possible repay?

A famous short seller, I think it was Chanos but I can't remember, once said in an interview that they follow where the management of past frauds go as a signal to determine future frauds.

Nix is like sailing from Oakland to San Francisco on an aircraft carrier for your daily commute. Most stuff I care about factors out into .config which I turn into a git repo, push to GitHub and slap on a CI checks for secrets. Most enginee

This is really over blown. Yes we have plans to restrict electric car usage. We also have plans to restrict HD streaming and blu ray players. Things will have to get really bad for us to cross that line.

The creation of more shibboleths will tragically cause harm to those unprivileged people they claim to help. An ivory tower council of privileged white men and women should never claim the authority to represent unprivileged minorities.

Cars got people from point A to B faster than horses. That much would have been clear even at the time because people understood trains and the potential speeds of locomotives. Crypto doesn’t do anything faster, cheaper or safer. In fact it

I’ve been burned hard by Nix but I’m going to steel man the argument. - Nix is very good at cross platform support. A single entry-point creates environments on both MacOS and Linux. - Docker containers run slower on MacOS because the virtu

They are not in the trading business. You can’t make the identical argument for companies because they may return value to shareholders in the future. But there is the risk of management and governance, like we see now with Meta pissing awa

Speculation, but consider that plausible scenario that SBF went nuclear and then CZ retaliated in what will turn into crypto mutually assured destruction.
