> Ethereum meets that bar.

Some argue otherwise. That will need to be determined in the courts or congress, not by a regulatory bully.

It's not clear yet that the SEC has any jurisdiction over cryptocurrencies. At this point, their rulings are empty, and perhaps it will be decided in court.

Nothing you said here makes a fork of the bitcoin code with a completely different genesis block (or ANY fork at ANY block of the bitcoin chain) a security.

There is no "presale" in the Ethereum code.

Anyone can create a fork that removes the difficulty bomb. You just need people to use your fork.

Up next: Jamie Dimon.

As long as it's not crypto related, it's fine. Banks are allowed to rug pull.

In the case of crypto, you might be confusing crumbling with weeding out. The long lived scams from traditional finance have a shorter shelf life there.

Might not be the best place to ask. The commitment here to the legacy banking system is titanic.

> "These were the words that introduced most people in my generation to the concept of an AI gone rogue; HAL 9000 in the classic science fiction movie 2001: A Space Odyssey"

The first introduction to the concept of an AI gone rogue was Eve, when she bit that apple. We all need a starting point.

Moo Cheese.

Could it be that most of the critical libraries are stable? Can you give an example of a necessary library that is stagnant?

I think the poster is referring to the loss of desktop state, not necessarily the loss of unsaved documents.

You have been wrong for close to 10 years. At some point you need to just let it go.

Why does it have to be a drug-smuggling ring? Why cant it be a group of elitist wealthy do-gooders (elected and unelected), who don't want to invite the middle class in, and be subjected to the rules of Wall Street?

Binance is a crypto exchange, not a bank.

Those assets are not Binance's to "lose".

> Note that Bitcoin has lost more value than the US dollar.

How does that make any sense? It's up more than 26,000% against the US for ten years now. What time frame are you working with?

They said the same thing for Java, Kotlin, and Go:

Humans are the ones that need electronic calculators and slide rules, not math.

That got its roots from the IPO. I hope you are not putting IPOs on some type of infallible pedestal.

And what if the escrow runs off like SBF and spends your money on personal property in the Bahamas?

Because a lot of ignorant Americans think open, decentralized cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum are a scam.

This is incorrect. Binance planned to liquidate the entire FTT over a month or two. They still hold a significant FTT position.

From the article:

“The fact that an offshore hedge fund that was basically a crypto firm was buying a stake in a tiny bank for multiples of its stated book value should have raised massive red flags for the F.D.I.C., state regulators and the Federal Reserve,” said Camden Fine, a bank industry consultant who used to head the Independent Community Bankers of America. “It’s just astonishing that all of this got approved.”

So much for regulators/regulations.

He wasn’t. He knew what people like you perceived a crypto bro to be and filled it while simultaneously filling the Wall Street trader wunderkind like Christian Bale played in the Big Short. He’s as crypto bro as the “pimple faced white kid in his mothers basement” that people like you call all hackers.

Edit: upon reflection, maybe he is indeed a crypto bro - nothing in your definition is untrue. Using my analogy above, Crypto Bros are the Script Kiddies of crypto. Apologies.

Clients had to log into FTX to witness their account balances and history, so it is impossible that the data was never captured or available.

At this point, if HN is any indication, they deserve it.

Gemini hasn't pause withdrawals, Genesis has.

Did you read the article you linked to?

Your comment is telling of the lack of understanding of blockchains 13 years in. Unreal.

No wonder exchanges and consultancy firms are getting away with baffling the public and businesses with bullshit.
