Another week, another altcoin suffers from a security vulnerability and loses a ton of money. I put articles like this in the Quick Hits section because there are so many of them and I’ve commented on their stupidity way too many times to count. I’m honestly sick of saying how much of a scam these things are, whether through malice or incompetence. I am making an exception to this one, though, because it’s by Erik Voorhees, a complex character whom I view as a tragic antihero in the story of Bitcoin.
listened to pickhardt and andreas chat re: LN on mccormack's podcast... was excellent! lauren was such an inspiration too.
also, i'm with you on voorhees... it really is a tragic character in a lot of ways. but, his depth denies him the satisfaction, ironically. every story needs a few of these folks and many end up fine. not always, but, even judas had an important, pivotal role.
