> They are creating a dollar substitute and basically running a banking and payments business but without the oversight that anyone else doing a similar kind of business would have.

You could take that word-for-word from the debate that raged after Treasury bailed out the prime funds in 2008.

Why not team up with the ProtonMail people to build a browser extension that verifies and logs javascript sigs/hashes? Corporate clients may like it. Gives them an IOC for the next big supply chain issue.

I don't know enough about browsers or js to know if its difficult or not.

Whether Monte Hall is counter intuitive is a function of how the question is phrased.

When you phrase it in a way that underlines the mechanical nature of the host's decision, people get it right. When you phrase it in a way that suggests the host's choice is itself random, people get it wrong.

I think the first formulation primes people to think of it from the perspective of the host, which is the right perspective for this problem.

you're doing it wrong. first you drink all the booze. then you hack all the things. if your investors aren't down with that, they're in the wrong line of work. maybe they should consider haberdashery.
