On top of this, it's 5x more expensive than a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra... which may be the better car regardless of price.

I consider my phone scrap as soon as it stops getting security updates. Same goes for almost all proprietary software.

Open source needs updates too, but somehow we take that for granted.

Is Trail of Bits transitioning out of "crypto"?

Imho, they are one of the best auditors out there for smart contracts. Wouldn't be surprising to see some of these talented teams find bigger markets.

Yes, the elephant in the room is Bluesky itself. In my experience, it's way more toxic than Twitter/X.

It's hard to believe anything from the Economist these days.

They are basically sold to some circles of influence, such as Qatar and are merely propaganda.

Example, the world cup:

In defence of Qatar's hosting of the World Cup - The Economist The claim that Qatar is a den of homophobia is also misleading. "

Brendan Eich is also the inventor of JavaScript and the former CTO of Mozilla.

While I don't support Prop 8 personally, I don't think we should judge technical products on political opinions of their author. You may think it's funny to advocate for bans and boycotts, until the other side does it too and we get a world split in 2 (or more).

Report which you don't get from centralized exchanges. So you have to trust them and they should somehow be liable for the provenance of what they sell to you.

Probably most CEX don't allocate UTXOs upon buying, but only for withdrawals

You can't be more wrong.

If anything, from my personal experience, "crypto" brought financial resources to minorities, especially PoC in the US. Some of them would never had that chance in the traditional world if you identify to that cause.

It's not "old fashioned", I think you are being fed propaganda by these NGOs.

Sadly, same goes for a huge part of the mainstream media that becomes an echo chamber for them (Guardian, NYT for example that used to be reference of truth but lost that status).

Don't take my word for it, please take the time to read opposite views and try to honestly make your own opinion.
