how do you stay safe when your entire net worth is just sitting on a block explorer for anyone to see?
@waleswoosh told us about a friend who built a six figure portfolio from almost nothing.
then a scam wiped out most of it.
everyone in crypto has a plan to get rich. far fewer have a plan to stay under the radar.
@omooretweets That said I actually think they do care just don’t express it the way the olds are tracking, Snapchat is a good example of a major way to connect and chat for Gen Z because of the privacy it offers
@omooretweets Weak take imo. It’s easy to make blanket statements but forget that context matters. Gen Z + under are young. Youngns of every gen start off less responsible and more carefree and then…grow up.
4/ Beyond the schadenfreude at @ring & @BIGFISHPR, recognize this as a signaling cultural moment of deep distrust in Big Tech.
Many companies haven't appreciated the shift.
The way out? Earning back the lost trust, and giving us back control over our privacy. not further abusing it.
@rpnickson Didn’t know he had such a great deal. Reminds me of another Puerto Rican innovator, Daddy Yankee, who also famously had amazing business sense, was essentially an indie artist and would let the majors fight to distribute his albums every release.
@heyshrutimishra Do you have a sense for the security implications of angebt agent with so much access? Is it all running locally and therefore nothing is being leaked?
@EliBenSasson@DeItaone In an earlier post you said “privacy is next”. As in you don’t have it at the moment. But all we talk about is how important it is to have privacy be foundational to the tech. Is it really safe to trust starknet with our data?
@udiWertheimer@mert And the other side of the zcash coin is Aleo. Not having news moment of zcash atm but is the programmable evolution created by the same cryptographers that invented zcash. If zcash is the actualized form for BTC. Aleo is that for ETH. Without privacy there’s no freedom.
Facebook bought WhatsApp for $19B with a dark plan for user data.
But Brian (WhatsApp's founder) realized Zuck's sinister plan, and rejected a $850M payout to keep quiet.
Here's the insane WhatsApp story (and what Zuck's plan was): 🧵
@beausecurity@Vcrar_ For all the concern of gov spying and these replies about court orders etc. how about the fact that Telegram as a company and anyone working at telegram can read our chats. They can run an LLM to parse our chats and pull alpha or whatever. Also no proof of gov backdooring.
@mattgould@beausecurity I actually believe group features are better on Signal. Especially with the recent update to be able to have video chat links like zoom. No need to make an actual group. We can just do an ad hoc call that you can join if you have signal account.
