The value of this kind of sponsorship is not as much about becoming know to the target audience but creating the environment to grow the number of audience.

Exactly. It is the same. One person or the whole government; it is the same, when it matters.

Most "crypto" products aren't even crypto but custody accounts. But that doesn't change the fact that blockchains that can be controlled by specific entities unanimously are a joke of a crypto.

You're not a victim if you have choice.

At a traditional bank you have your national deposit insurance scheme; you get that in return for converting your "assets" to the said nations issued currency but accept the authorities control of the money supply and your funds.

With decentralised money, you get the safety of a globally distributed attestation backed by cryptography without a single authority controlling the supply of money or your funds.

There is no halfway option. You either have a single authority that can exercise control or you do not; number of delegates for exercise of control is almost irrelevant since you can change banks.

We had LLMs for about 5 minutes or so. Hardly a measure of time for an industry that goes back half a century and then some.

Currency isn't a homebrew computer or backyard car project; it is either centralised or not; there is no in between.

Blockchain with central authority is the worst of both worlds.

Yes, I just can't imagine why would one browser the internet without adblock.

At this point, if you browse the internet without an adblock; it is on YOU.

It is more than fair, also, you're comparing your 5k devices to 12k and more importantly 65k and >10m devices.

Look at the GPU and RAM spec; 120b seems workable.

Rob Pike is programming God of retardmaxxing. Go programming language is a good example of this, where it was the dumbest language for a longgg time.

The existence of a category of warrants that allows operation that is indistinguishable from warrantless searches creates a kind of legal hazard and personal risk that is hard to overlook. Police lie on the regular.
