Then again, snowden did do that as well.

2018-01-27 05:42:57 UTC  

So depends on what was being leaked, if it was something closer to current conflict, then it is crummy.

2018-01-27 06:19:18 UTC  

If you’re leaking classified information about our government violating human rights (such as the surveillance state violating our right to privacy) it’s not really you betraying your country. I’d consider that more revealing the fact that your country is betraying you. On the other hand if you’re just leaking classified information that reveals no wrongdoing for the sake of leaking classified information, yes you’re betraying your country.

2018-01-27 06:21:35 UTC  

Or worse, if you're revealing classified information which could or does place soldiers and people in immediate danger.

2018-01-27 06:36:57 UTC  

I mean the question is not which is crummy, its what kind of info was being leaked.

2018-01-27 06:37:04 UTC  

THen we decide if it was crummy or not.

2018-01-27 06:37:52 UTC  

Id be worried if the info being leaked was say, current tactics, list of soldiers/leaders currently serving.

2018-01-27 06:38:26 UTC  

Judging from Snowdens notoriety, I assumed that it was because the info he leaked wasnt of the above.

2018-01-27 16:00:42 UTC  

Yeah Snowden was a "whistleblower" type wher he confirmed what the govt. was doing, manning released a plethora of shit ranging from recordings of military having fun blowing up civilians via helicopter to sensitive intelligence about people, military placement, etc, I doubt she had good intentions either considering the size and range of info

2018-01-27 16:01:40 UTC  

I think Manning's intentions were good, they were just extremely neglectful over what they actually released

2018-01-27 17:49:37 UTC

```Coincheck has fallen victim to a hack attack that reportedly stole more than $400 million worth of cryptocurrencies.

The Tokyo-based exchange is a platform where consumers can buy or sell a number of cryptocurrencies, and this appears to be the largest monetary theft of cryptocurrency ever reported.
```

2018-01-27 20:24:03 UTC  

stop keeping your money in exchanges

2018-01-27 20:24:18 UTC  

there is 0 liabiltiy with cryptocurrencies in most (every?) country

2018-01-27 20:25:19 UTC  

sooooooooooooooo many exchanges have been "hacked" over the years

2018-01-27 20:25:22 UTC  

Yeah.

2018-01-27 20:25:35 UTC  

I haven't jumped into crypto yet because I want to know what I am doing before I do.

2018-01-27 20:25:49 UTC  

obviously using crypto exchanges is fine

2018-01-27 20:26:01 UTC  

As exchanges, yeah, but they're not banks.

2018-01-27 20:26:03 UTC  

but withdraw anything you aren't trading

2018-01-27 20:26:12 UTC  

Yeah.

2018-01-27 20:26:25 UTC  

i have ~$1,000 in exchanges rn

2018-01-27 20:27:22 UTC  

I remember asking Tim one time if he could give a more clear kind of 'tutorial' to crypto, but his answer was basically 'make a coinbase account.' lol

2018-01-27 20:27:35 UTC  

lmfao

2018-01-27 20:27:47 UTC  

crypto trading is absolute cancer

2018-01-27 20:28:07 UTC  

though the barrier to entry is still lower than real stocks

2018-01-27 20:41:27 UTC  

It's just gambling really, payout is either in a day or never

2018-01-27 20:54:07 UTC  

lol

2018-01-27 20:54:30 UTC  

I got a check from mtg mountain or whatever the fuck it was

2018-01-27 20:54:49 UTC  

mtgox

2018-01-27 20:54:56 UTC  

it was like, 25 cents or some shit

2018-01-27 20:55:43 UTC  

@pukeblood not really

2018-01-27 20:56:07 UTC  

it's not hard to make money from exchanges

2018-01-27 20:57:01 UTC  

the stuff is too unstable to me at this point

2018-01-27 20:57:08 UTC  

lots of people take the quick route and sell/buy way higher/lower than market price

2018-01-27 20:57:51 UTC  

and a lot of money funnels back from fees, expansion, and investors

2018-01-27 20:57:53 UTC  

there isn't enough valid real-world equiv short of using it to launder money

2018-01-27 20:58:01 UTC  

and drugs
