Why do "top tier" publishers like @Forbes not only publish this, but also pin the tweet?

At least they realized the first summary was too much so they deleted ... but reposted with a different one and pinned again.

DONT GLORIFY CRIMINALS. THEY ARE NOT MISUNDERSTOOD GENIUSES.
There is no "Crypto hierarcy" to climb. What she did was not crypto. She just went into a very non-crypto firm that has non-transparent and as it turns out fraudulent books, doing white collar crime.

That's not crypto. That's wall street 101.
Why try to describe her in a favorable light?

SHE STOLE BILLIONS OF CUSTOMER FUNDS.
Probably the most annoying thing here is describing her as a "math wiz"?!?!

That's an insult to people who are actually good at math.
Lets put things in perspective for the "misunderstood geniuses who made a mistake"

- Aaron Swartz was pushed to take his own life for downloading research papers
- @alex_pertsev is in jail for writing #opensource code
- Virgil Griffith is in prison for talking in a NK conference

I've only used mastodon for a week. My account just got suspended for:

"Being a capitalist"

I am not sure what that means. But I guess I can fix it by sending some moneros to the server owner?

The Fediverse is not very welcoming. Image
Oh this is getting better. I can't even move my account to another server.

By suspending the account on the server the option to move it does not appear. I am stuck. ImageImage
Does any mastodon expert know how to transfer you account if it gets suspended? I thought the option to move was always there.

So with account suspension and data deletion, basically the server owner can unilaterally decide to destroy user's account or hold them hostage?

1/X: In this thread I will post my votes for Season 16 @gitcoin budget.

Starting with the GPC budget proposal for which I am voting YES. Feedback is to try and cut expenses more

Proposal: gov.gitcoin.co/t/s16-proposal…
Vote: snapshot.org/#/gitcoindao.e…
My comment: gov.gitcoin.co/t/s16-proposal… ImageImageImage
2/X: For the PGF workstream I am torn. I recognize its importance for Gitcoin as a project. They bring in all the sponsors and funding

But the budget for this quarter is too much

Proposal: gov.gitcoin.co/t/s16-proposal…
Vote: snapshot.org/#/gitcoindao.e…
My comment: gov.gitcoin.co/t/s16-proposal… ImageImageImage
3/X: For the Ops budget I vote NO. Dont want to be "that" guy, but things are in a really bad state in our industry right now.

I just don't see how this budget reflects that.

1/X: I have a slow Sunday. So inspired by the heated discourse under this thread I will read carefully (as opposed to skimming) the paper that introduced the SBT term and tweet remarks, questions into a thread as I go.

The paper can be found here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
2/X: Naturally for every paper you need to read the abstract which ideally will give you an idea what the paper is about.

So from that I get that the authors envision non-transferrable ("Soulbound") tokens will form the basis of what they call DeSoc, the Decentralized Society.
3/X:

In the introduction they explain that web3 has achieved a lot but it's severely limited due to the lack of an identity system.

So @feeswtf done their airdrop and it went exactly as expected.

It's a poorly executed ponzi to take your precious ETH away from you.

Let's have a closer look 👇
@feeswtf They went and put a nice UI over an iterator of the user's ethereum transaction, summing up gas used.

THATS IT. THATS THE "PRODUCT".

They got more than 150 ETH in donations for this😂😂

But that was not enough ... so they made a ponzi token on top.
@feeswtf I present to you the aptly named "WTF" token:

1/X:

🐦I talk a lot about what @rotkiapp is right now but not so much about what the vision for rotki is in the long term.

Time to give a sneak peek and explain where we are going.

Thread 👇
2/X:

Rotki today is an #opensource, local-first application that puts a big focus on user data ownership and privacy on the virtue of being a local app.

But that's not all that rotki aspires to be.👇
3/X:

🤷Supporting multiple protocols, multiple chains, multiple exchanges, multiple platforms, accounting for multiple jurisdictions is a truly hard problem.

💸A problem each company tries to solve by simply throwing money at and implementing in-house solutions for.
