The Tornado Cash exploit is a very important lesson about the governance. Most people don't fully understand what they vote for, but rather trust a few "experts" and choose the option that already has the most amount of votes. The benevolent dictatorship model is often better for the development of cutting-edge software as long as a community can fork the project in case if the dictator goes rogue.

It's pathetic that in the most countries across the world an investor has to pay high transactions fees and clog the network even more by essentially burning an unwanted NFT in order to prove officials that he experienced losses to reduce his tax burden.

That's exactly the reason why there are no rules, so they can go after anybody they want.

The problem is always they say you do not comply with them, where there are actually no rules?

The solution to not enough entropy during seed generation is pretty easy, always use a strong passphrase, sometimes referred to as the 25-th word, as an addition to programmatically generated seed phrase.

This is an extremely important precedent. Regulators applied 'insider trading' rules on the NFTs market to lock up a guy for up to twenty years. Now they can go after crypto people not only with 'issuing unregistered securities', but also with 'insider trading'.

AI basically told him how to run a successful pump and dump scheme lol.

Good content? They call themselves bankless for a few years already, and yet they still use the traditional banking system and promote centralized exchanges to their followers, they are also launching a Visa card, and starting a VC fund. They do have a few nice articles, though, but they don't practice what they preach, so be careful with their content. And don't expect them to tell you about the flaws of all the layer-2 scaling solutions because they are heavily invested in and being sponsored by VC-backed companies that develop these offchain solutions.

Why even use a blockchain for social media? DMP is offchain, Nostr is offchain, SSB is offchain.

Custodial exchanges will continue imposing restrictions as the environment becomes more hostile. Not your keys, not your coins has always been the best solution. This news source tries to expose web3 issues, but centralized exchange OKX has nothing to do with web3.

The government is the largest monopoly so it attacks corporations to get rid of competition.

The state attacks the free market as usual.

I have confusing feelings. On the one hand, it's a state oppression of a private business, on the other hand, it limits Facebook's monopoly.

At least they have good content.

Bankless occupies degenrocket feed

Great to hear!

Discussions should also be token-gated to avoid spam and other nonsense from people who are not even invested in the protocols they are talking about.

Yeah, it should be removed, otherwise the whole 'rising' section is just Bankless articles that don't even have proper links to read these articles.

It's a problem on their side because all items in the RSS feed have the same link. This should either be fixed or the Bankless RSS feed should be temporary removed from the list of all feeds.
