Ok what’s with the weird punctuation and lack of capital letters in their tweets?

Both seem like they are horribly rushed and no auto complete?


Reminds me of how rich YouTubers make apology videos. No makeup (but yes makeup), no script (but yes script)... make an effort to seem effortless


I've seen lowercase wording used by people who don't want to put effort into something. Personally, I consider it a sign of dismissal towards the audience. If you see this coming from someone, it might be an indication they don't case. This is based purely on personal experience.


it’s a causal writing style that has become popular online in the last decade or so. don’t overthink it


It's usual in chats, not for formal writing like officially announcing your resignation. At least that's my impression.


Maybe that's why it's used ? Twitter is just addressed to the public, so it's not official in any way, it's just communication. The lowercase casual style is only used to drive empathy probably.


This is the sector of the economy that ipos in cargo shorts I don't think formal writing would be expected or appreciated


To be fair, that's not a very formal resignation. He just... quit.


Yes it likely is very likely he had absolutely no idea and rushed something out


Look at the responses. They are all cheering it. Pathetic


Or they are quiet, as they are getting the results that they've wanted and that the time of propping up ridiculous Free Speech Absolutism arguments has passed.


We should thank musk for showing us what a billionaire and their leaches really are.


Sadly predictable...


Please don't make blanket statements like that. Personally I'm disappointed by this turn of events


Doxxing is a common attack on people who are guilty of wrongspeak.

I have no strong opinion about how doxxing relates to free speech, but desire to hide your private life is understandable, and I don't see any benefit for the society from realtime doxxing.


The whole crypto game is dead without these exchanges.

To hold your own keys etc is just too complicated.

I dont want to put 100k onto a USB drive where I may forget the PW to.

Crypto is just not going to hit mainstream if you cant get exchanges "banks" to stop selfimploding.


Coinbase, which happen to be a Y Combinator unicorn, is saying they're totally fine. Credit where it's due: Coinbase never ever dealt with Tether/USDT. They say the $42 billion of USDC they minted are all backed and that all the clients' assets on their site (USDC/coins/EUR/USD/etc.) are all backed 1:1.

I hope Coinbase is and stays an honest (and regulated) player in that crazy space:

All these “web 2” companies are going to create their own “web 3” services that will only work on their own product, and we have overly complicated solutions to an issue which didn’t really need solving.

Can’t wait for my reddit or meta tokens which have a zero value.


Yes please! We spent a year traveling through Europe and it was such a pain in the ass dealing with them.

I ended up just not taking then back as change.

Your assuming markets are perfect - they aren’t


Was just recently in London and walked past! I didn't see anyone just parked there, but im sure they were being more covert.


Yeah fair call this. Their property market is essentially black money bank.


Not really. Sure it's different taxes but for the revenue Amazing should be paying a much higher share of its profits and it does.
