Is it the smart who are successful?

When people think something is bad and keep encountering other people saying it is good, they respond. There's no reason why anyone should get "involved in the space" before expressing their opinion.

Of course it's possible to live in a more basic, debt-free way, but my suspicion is that in the USA (which is the scope of the article) most people do not, which reduces the pool of people with enough time and energy to do something interesting.

Did people during the period(s) of high innovation have as much personal debt (especially home mortgages) as people do today? A lot of people have too many bills coming in every month to devote time and effort to things too weird to "attract investment".

> [I]f there were legitimate buying of BTC with Tether, which is plausible after the ass-whooping USDBTC has taken recently, new Tether would need to be issued to keep the 1:1 peg.

Can you explain in detail why new Tether would need to be issued?

"Intuitive for who" is a good question, and I hope the answer is "intuitive to the new/occasional user".

I've used a number of different DAWs, and the main challenge is that if I haven't made any music for several months, I don't really remember all the various maneuvers that a daily user would have in muscle memory. I end up having to re-learn everything, and experience extra special frustration along the lines of "I know there was a trick to moving this thing to that place, but I can't remember what it is".

Almost every time, it's hard to argue that the way the DAW does it "doesn't make sense"; it generally does make sense. But a lot of the time the maneuver is so different than the things one does in a non-DAW for basic clicking, editing, and dragging things around, that it gets frustrating having to re-learn it over and over again.
