The study finds that "majority of people who invest in crypto inevitably lose money", but the article puts "Bitcoin" in title to mislead the readers.
So:
Do people lose money when they invest into crypto? Yes.
Do people lose money when they invest into Bitcoin? No (if their timespan is 5+ years).

This might provide some hints (or not): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Hejlsberg#At_Microsoft
"In 1996, Hejlsberg left Borland and joined Microsoft. One of his first achievements was the J++ programming language and the Windows Foundation Classes; he also became a Microsoft Distinguished Engineer and Technical Fellow. Since 2000, he has been the lead architect of the team developing the C# language. In 2012 Hejlsberg announced a new Microsoft project, TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript."
I can only speculate that lots of skilled Borland developers followed Hejlsberg and participated in creation of C# and later TypeScript.

It seems you can add the AirTag technology to a 3rd party product via MFi program.
Would it be possible to send a custom payload? E.g. with a status report (battery percentage, etc.)

Gameboy is really slow when compared to modern hardware. One ECDSA signature that takes around 100ms on Trezor (32-bit CPU @ 120 MHz) would take around a minute on GameBoy (8-bit CPU @ ~4 MHz.
If we're talking about GameBoy Advance (32-bit CPU @ 25 MHz) - this more plausible but still 5 times slower than Trezor.
