So funny you mention that, not ten minutes ago I dropped my car keys between the driver’s seat and the center console and when I squeezed my hand down there to grab them I found 50 million dollars! I was like “How did that get there LOL such is life!”
I'm reading your write-ups with increasing rage at the entitled cryptbros that casually throw around or "misplace" millions of dollars while there are people literally living and dying on the streets. I wouldn't be so judgmental if these same cryptbastards didn't often proclaim to be investing for the good of society ("effective altruism", etc.). Crooks and liars, the lot of them.
Really love an awful bar chart- just also want to point out that the "Developer activity" trend (ski stars on public crypto repos) basically just follows the same trend as the number of repos created since 2011...
Years ago I learned just enough about Bitcoin to have a good laugh and feel physically sick, before studiously blocking all blockchain-related keywords from all feeds.
That turned out to be a mistake, in terms of sheer entertainment - the sobering fate of victims excepted - and the refresher course on human nature.
It now feels like the 19th-century age of railroad scams writ large, except the stupidity of even the scammers is also clear.
The crooks are smart enough to understand that you sell picks and shovels in a gold rush, yet too vain to doubt their own bullshit.

Thanks, Molly. If anyone deserves to have a clerihew written about them, SBF certainly qualifies.
We'll get on that right away.
A delightful read as ever, albeit like flowers on a grave, delightful nonetheless.
