well, most cryptos are scams. that's extremely obvious.

the 0.1% that are not are going to be the foundation for the next generation of web and finance -- this is also obvious.

but it's silly to pretend like most cryptos aren't just cash grabs. but just like 99.9% of websites on the internet are scams/ads/useless, doesn't take away from the importance of the legitimately useful websites.

that ship sailed a long time ago.

but tbh, some of the most exciting cryptographic problems are being worked on in the cryptocurrency industry (zk tech, for example).

while the crypto community wants to avoid as much regulation as possible, it's important to realize that sensible regulation is a boon to the industry as it clears a path to allow institutions and traditional FinTech companies to hop onboard.

So, the timing of this Stripe announcement could be related to the Biden EO: https://apnews.com/article/biden-cryptocurrency-executive-or...

If you compare the M1 Air and Pro, the only difference seems to be the addition of the Touchbar, 10% better battery life, and a "studio" speaker/mic on the Pro.

I assume the addition of a fan on the Pro gives it better performance under load, but there doesn't seem to be a hugely compelling reason to not just get the Air.

Presumably, both.
