That's a unique interpretation
can confirm, you did indeed make it better. not the it I meant, but certainly a proximate, relevant it was selected.
yeah i dont think anyone seriously buys into bitcoin=private in 2024 thankfully. they are still deluded on monero, but its only a matter of time.
It is similar to open source social media.
thats federation, not open source. reddit was open source for a while, but not federated -- and now we are here. whatsapp uses an open source protocol, but isnt federated -- some asshole hawaiian (resident of hawaii, not the other option) controls it. Signal is open source, but won't federate, its controlled by people who are way more into crypto than helping their users (moxie was actively against federation, using such examples as email to prove how federation is a failure)
You are 100% sure that data is not getting sold?
lol no, im 100% sure its being sold in some way, no matter how many things I opt out of. while i do have a lot of privacy focused things in my life, from email to chat to phone, i just can't find myself caring that much about someone tracking my gasoline consumption or knowing that I go to the same bar every week for game night.
the obvious downside to something like XMR is that its a ticking time bomb from a privacy perspective. at some point the security will fail as all security does, and then the data is totally public.
don't recall, it covered both bitcoin and etherium and investigated who owned what. ill see if i can't find it. edit: this seems to be the academic version of it, but theres a prettier journalism version with more stories and pictures: https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.02871
in this case i seem to have misremembered owners vs miners, but I'll keep poking around. this one is also older than i remember.
Please clarify why the TPM, a decade old security chip, is bad for gran
make it better
Like the rest of society, some people get ridiculous wealth by luck of being at the right place at the right time. That is no reason to not have open source money.
thats not the point, there have been studies that show bitcoin is fairly vulnerable to 50% control due to early adopters and other wHaLeS controlling the currency. and the studies can show this because bitcoin isnt private.

Not having safe infrastructure doesn't make bikers any less dangerous to be around. My specific citation is the bay area, other places I've lived have not had the sheer quantity of bikers (and drivers) with a death wish/complete lack of spatial awareness.
