Let the hop wars begin then..., I know it's easier for wallet makers to add more hops to anonymizing tech than for chainalysis to deanonymize the transactions....when 90+% of the wallets do this by default, that company will probably h

I think US universities are forced to cover things again due to a failure in the K-12 system of schooling that precedes it, and the lack of adequate testing to weed out ill prepared individuals. In many countries, these kids would probably
