    One thing I find funny is the blockchain being "very secure" has not aged well at all. North Korea alone has stolen almost 2 billion dollars worth of cryptocurrencies from various exchanges, and that is only a fraction of the total stolen cryptocurrency. It totals losses annually in the billions in assets stolen. And once it's stolen, it's gone forever, there is no such thing as FDIC insurance. If banks operated that poorly, everyone woul have their money in their fucking mattress. It's utterly insane, not just laughable, to call the blockchain secure, as we have repeated and vast evidence to the exact contrary. It's worth mentioning some of these attacks have resulted in so much losses that entire blockchains have hard forked resulting in a complete mess.

    • @Uruz2012
      @Uruz2012 Месяц назад +4

      The blockchain itself was not changed to facilitate that theft. They stole from the exchange's accounts by compromising their access somehow. That's a failure of IT security at the exchange.
      Gaining access to bank software doesn't mean that physical dollars aren't secure in a vault.

      According to Google 🤷 While the hero's character arc is all about a character gaining physical mastery over their world, the heroine's arc is much more concerned with their mastery over their own mind. In the end, this has nothing to do with gender, and there are plenty of excellent female heroes and male heroines out there.

      @eflarsen Месяц назад +5

      they probably do upload them to youtube in order in their batch, but youtube just processes them at different speeds for some reason and so the episodes get posted out of order after the upload fully processes. so unless they did one at a time and waited for each to process and upload before starting the next one, this is what we get.

      I'm going to assume they're all uploaded, processed then scheduled at a later day for the same time. Not sure why this would screw up the order, but it's most likely an issue on RUclips's side itself, even though it's annoying to look at.
