Sorry, for some reason I can't edit my own comment, so adding a new one. The $1Tn figure is Market Cap; I was looking at these charts but indeed they show market cap not capital influx: https://coinmarketcap.com/charts&

Perhaps a controversial view, but why does this matter? I was having this debate with a friend a few weeks back. Tether was the first crypto coin pegged to a fiat currency, but now there are so many more: USDC, BUSD, TrueUSD, DAI, GUSD...an

That's a good question and I've seen it partially answered on their Telegram group: Maiar offers the option to back up your private key to an off-chain location (eg. Google Drive), so if you do choose to back it up it can be used

You probably need some 'cooldown time' to take the emotion out of that selection process :) I also take thousands of pics when travelling...well used to anyway before Covid. Then I store them all in some cold storage, like a back

To paraphrase John Maynard Keynes: If you owe the bank 1$ million, it owns you but if you owe the bank 1$ trillion, you own the bank. My guess is all banks have invested heavily in crypto by now (either over or under the counter - by proxy)

It's not just the immense traffic throughput, but also consider that some of these routers [0] can do line-rate MACsec encryption at 400Gbps on every port. This kind of horsepower was unthinkable even a few yrs ago... [0] Example Junip

I think with Eth2 we're possibly seeing a the first attempt to address the Innovator's Dilemma[0] in the blockchain environment. I've been following the Eth2 progress for a few months now and from the outside it really feels
