Throughout history vendors have generally not been responsible for the actions of their users. Nobody blames Sharpie if someone uses their markers to make a giant poster with hate speech. Nobody blames the USPS if someone mails a letter wit

This reminds me of the (apocryphal?) story that boxed cake mixes sold better after they started requiring you to add an egg, since that made people feel like they contributed more to the result.

Previous exploits were able to make it connect to the internet just by saying "browsing: enabled" so it's awfully plausible that it's real. Also the "current date" has been accurate every day so far. It's

The interesting thing is that FTX had almost no retail customers in the US[1], yet most of the coverage has been US-focused, due to the VC investors and US political donations. It really was just investors (in the company itself) that got h

I think everything crypto companies do is beside the point. Satoshi created a system where you can be self-sovereign and not have to trust anyone. And now these companies want you to forget about all that silly trustlessness, and trust them
