• Fascinating. Complexity always increases attack surface. Also interesting for traders is that this huge fundamental (public) problem was simultaneous with a *rally* in the asset. https://blog.theabacus.io/the-verge-hack-explained-7942f63a3017 …

• Humans are evolutionary rewarded for adopting social norms that favor survival & cooperation. Evolution makes us moralistic. Ethics is how we solve sub-optimal equilibria. A behavior is considered ethical if it solves the prisoner's dilemma; to be adopted it must be a social norm
• I no longer fully believe this. Being ethical is more profitable long term, assuming an iterated game. Although power law outcomes reward the unethical as they can win big in one move.
• “All the benefits in life come from compound interest — relationships, money, habits — anything of importance.” @naval
• @Naval Ravikant said in a recent interview: the key to success is to give society things that it wants, but doesn’t know how to get on its own. You can’t go to school for such things; if you could, the world would already have a steady supply of it. https://www.pscp.tv/w/1eaKbqrWloRxX

• Or of course for someone to report the website as being a cashback site. So who's going to pay for the cashback after all the merchants cancel their payments? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
• That's how he tries to pay the cashback. Now here's the interesting thing: 99% of all affiliate and referral programs specifically exclude these kind of cashback offers. So all it takes is for the merchants to figure out what's going on and they'll cancel all future payments.
• The website just bundles together merchants which offer a referral/affiliate program. So you sign up on the website, then you find a merchant you want to buy something from and buy it by clicking on a referral link. So the site owner gets a referral fee.
• The @bitcoin twitter account just tweeted about some cashback scheme. Giving the illusion of a legitimate business/offer. No, of course those merchants don't accept $BCH or are even aware of what's happening. This is actually a very simple scheme which is against almost every TOSpic.twitter.com/nxneQHPopQ

• From @tomgarrambone: It’s just too easy to say stuff like “I like blockchain as a whole but not convinced on bitcoin”. Or “I think lightning is interesting but I’m not sure if it will work out” Just say “I have no idea”. Instead of positioning for both sides."
