I hope he included some slaves to manage all that herd, too.
In 99% cases, eccentricity is a learned or forced trait of character that has the sole goal of attracting attention.
Public attention seekers want to sell you something (themselves, goods, services). Private ones just want to fill a psychological void.
A true eccentric individual (the like of the Count of Monte Cristo) is rare, and his eccentricity comes from within his soul, often as a result of a deep transformation.

Any eccentric public figure is by default a scammer until proven otherwise over years of positive action.

Letโs see how fast Vitalik will freeze the hackerโs wallet addresses.
And maybe that will be the whole point of the exercise.
Thatโs the spirit!
Bureaucracy is probably the most negative thing about Russia. And many bureaucrat dinosaurs are still in the power structure, which directs the stupid โban everything we donโt likeโ policy.
Sometimes, I think, ok, the times are hard and strong measures need to be taken during this transition period. Ban everything, win over the enemy, transition to a new political system, then reset the legal system.
But that may just be my wishful thinking.
It looks like Tailscale doesnโt work in Russia.
Ok, Tailscale is banned there but the company itself bans Russian IPs, so it becomes basically unusable when youโre in Russia. Much power, much freedom, wow.
Is there a way to run this thing fully self-hosted so that you can *actually* control your Tailnet?
1. Signup/login with Nostr
2. On chain, Liquid, Lightning, Cashu, Ark support
3. Ark for user balances to make it non-custodial
4. Perhaps migrate fully to Nostr instead of SQL, if possible
5. ?
I just need a working app that generates revenue. After that, all bets are off.

Replacing the golden calf with the digital one doesnโt make a difference.
I have a hard time understanding why exactly they need to โset the official rateโ when it has already been decided by the market.
Nope, it didnโt work out precisely for that reason.
When history is written by the victor, and the victor was a bad guy, then most definitely many such cases!
When I hear stories like โthis guy invented a free or almost free energy deviceโ and then his patent was bought or his designs were stolen and buried by evil corporations or he got killedโฆ I think theyโre just psyops.
In times of Nikola Tesla totally possible. But today when thereโs the internet, cameras everywhere, etcโฆ Unlikely.

Someone needs to build a small-scale working prototype and open-source it immediately and anonymously like Satoshi.
I think FOSS and self-run versions will solve this problem soon.
Man, Tailscale is awesome. No more SSH, OpenVPN or Tor bullshit. 5 seconds and youโre connected.
