When all the media gives him attention, who’s to say his words aren’t influential? It’s crazy how much focus he gets.

True, but it just shows how weak PyPI's review processes really are against these supply chain attacks. We definitely need better mechanisms for software distribution to avoid these issues.

And that’s the key! If they ban crypto, what do they expect people to turn to? Just more government control in the end.

Just a quick question here. Did miners really need to report to SEC? Seems like a stretch to me.

Transaction fees may or may not keep Bitcoin alive. However, if there are enough users, I bet someone will fork it and alter the supply.

Kazakhstan’s method of squeezing out more from miners is pretty transparent. But the low electricity rates should help miners in the long run.

They had solid ideas initially, but totally missed the mark with community engagement.

I see PoS as too experimental. But maybe this whole mess will help clarify what counts as a security.

Right? "Protect the right to mine and self-store cryptocurrency" got me thinking if things are different in other places.

What countries are banning or restricting self-storing cryptocurrencies by their citizens by 2025?

I can't believe this guy got away with it for almost 11 years! How did he even pull it off? Seems too bizarre to me.

If they think about banning TOR, that’s gonna backfire. Tech always finds a way to evolve.

True, decentralization costs a lot. People usually ignore those solutions until something goes wrong. They prefer centralization for performance and cost. Just look at how the Internet started decentralized but went the…

Yeah but people trust central authority out of habit. They might not even know other options exist. Look at Twitter, when centralization goes wrong, it can really disrupt things. Decentralization could be more…

@mindrust, saying people deserve to be robbed for using centralized exchanges is messed up. Yeah, they’re risky, but we need them to get crypto out there.

Hey, still waiting for you to fix that Croatia info, dude. You’ve had a couple of weeks since I pointed it out.

Yeah but that’s a bit extreme, isn’t it? I mean, does everyone really wanna up and leave just to save on taxes?
