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

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

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

HRC video with a weird glitch... wtf??? https://twitter.com/AlexMohajer/status/957078762440441856

Really interesting interview id thought id share with you all

```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.
```

stop keeping your money in exchanges

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

sooooooooooooooo many exchanges have been "hacked" over the years

Yeah.

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

obviously using crypto exchanges is fine

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

but withdraw anything you aren't trading

Yeah.

i have ~$1,000 in exchanges rn

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

lmfao

crypto trading is absolute cancer

though the barrier to entry is still lower than real stocks

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

lol

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

mtgox

it was like, 25 cents or some shit

@pukeblood not really

it's not hard to make money from exchanges

the stuff is too unstable to me at this point

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

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

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

and drugs

i mean

there's a bitcoin ATM near me

yeah

you mentioned that

it was at 95% mkt

@ping not really, the amount you make is based on how much you put in, and there's always a chance it could go down after

@pukeblood crypto is a lot different from stocks
