<p>I guess that's why Elon Musk is so successful?<p>He does not shy away from taking responsibility (and loudly boasting about it / taking credit on Twitter/x).</p>

<p>How horrible mismanaged have all other big companies have to be, 
for someone like Elon Musk to easily overpower and overtake them?<p>It's not like overworking employees is a novel concept no other big corp has left untried.<p>I think attributing Musks success to "overworking employees" is either completely wrong or not sufficient to explain his success.<p>You can't say it's by chance, because it's not his first and last successful company either.</p>

<p>I'll play the devils advocate.<p>1. Ownership and Security<p>Bitcoin is the only solution to really "owning" your money.
Everything in your bank account can be stolen / frozen / or made "inaccessible" at a moments notice because of some vague bullshit reason like supporting right extremists or terrorists - even if you donate a single dollar - like it happened in in 2023 Canada / freedom convoy.
Everything a bank claims to be secure/safe goes away like a poof of smoke if it really comes down to it. The can't be any safety in our increasingly multi-polar world the political boundaries are redefined daily. Today Russia/China is the enemy, tomorrow it's some other country that will suffer economical sanctions. Or your own country decides to apply punitive measures against some minority group because of political opinion - all the control mechanisms are there and politicians are itching to use them.<p>2. It's less than our current banking sector<p>Yeah, consuming this much natural resources / electricity sucks.
That's the alternative? 
Do you count how much money is spend on the banking spector as a whole? I assure you it consumes much more then the 2% in capital expenditure - so indirectly it's more (you could have build renewables with the same money) .<p>3. Scalability<p>About the famous argument that bitcoin does not scale: the 7 transaction per second argument -> this problem is completely solved by the lightning network. Lightning protocol does the same with much lower transaction cost and much less energy usage - something like 100x less. Yes support at major vendors is still a bit lagging behind but that's only temporary. 
Need a 100% confirmation? Do full transaction (for example for accounting purposes). Small sums and personal funds -> can be completely handled by a lightweight lightning network transaction. Bitcoin is a highly technical solution and there are myriad ways things can be improved upon if scalability really becomes an issue - even if the lightning network would become saturated.</p>

<p>100% agree.<p>Crypto today is the only way how you can take control of your own funds.<p>What use is the money in your Bank account if the ruling political party can label you an ultra-right extremist and retroactively lock all your money down, just because of a single 1$ donation you did to a cause you believed to be right, like Canada did?</p>

<p>Author is using tailwind wrong<p>Complaining about a technology (tailwind) while not using its surrounding ecosystem is not really a good way to build things.<p>How to do it:<p>- encapsulte/extract react/jsx components - for readability, so you do not have a wall off endless meaningless divs. Examples: Article, ArticleHeader, ArticleContent, ArticleSummary, etc...<p>- use cva <a href="https://github.com/joe-bell/cva">https://github.com/joe-bell/cva</a> to style generic ui components (like buttons) to archive same grouping as in semantic css<p>- use <a href="https://github.com/dcastil/tailwind-merge">https://github.com/dcastil/tailwind-merge</a> to merge/overwrite tailwind classes (like in css)<p>- result: separated react/jsx components with only a few lines of tailwind classes - are very readable and easily maintainable</p>
