from what I read on some of the administrators on Twitter the program has been (semi privately) running since last fall and there are already 10+ participants now the decision to take it public may have been motivated by sequoia's la

I understand where you're coming from in that the technical abilities to create something (someone?) like this may seem like a low barrier to entry. However, I disagree that this is "quick" money or just a fad. The value of t

I agree with most points made here. However, I wonder if it's as easy to predict the new high-growth/high-margin units as you suggest that Tesla has none. Were most people in 2011-2015 aware of the "AWS / Ad explosion&qu

in the few times I've traded BTC, I've personally seen tighter spreads in Coinbase (fixed + % fee) than Robinhood Crypto ("free"). I'm aware there can be many reasons for this but I couldn't help but wonder if
