Gold standard isn't an odd choice, it was used for many thousands of years. It's just odd today because no countries still use it.

And while a Bitcoin standard sounds crazy, if you lived in Argentina, you'd probably rather keep your savings in Bitcoin (despite all its problems) than in the peso.

I think most of the crazy lawmakers are not actually crazy. You probably need to be quite intelligent to make it through all the hoops to get elected to congress. It's an act that they know gets them attention on social media, but on issues that aren't partisan they can actually act like adults

This hasn't been my experience

I wasn't aware of the tipping controversy. That's not a good look, but I don't use their crypto features (apart from IPFS every once in a while).

No tech company is squeaky clean in 2024, and Brave's baggage seems better than Chrome's.

It's worth noting that this is not being done for environmental reasons (more half of all coal pollution comes from China), but for strategic reasons as China has limited access to oil near it's borders.
