I’d love to go back to mid-2000s me and say, “Hey, you know that whole semantic markup/HTML5/CSS3 thing and how it’s going to fix web dev?” Then explain React generating divs and spans with inline styles versus Tailwind’s utility classes.
A lot of people think spirituality means “beating myself up until I'm perfect.” But that's not true. Self-torture is the enemy of growth. Self-kindness is the beginning of repair.
Bitcoin’s core story is different from most cryptocurrencies. It has no centrally issuing authority. A few others have tried to do that, and one of them (zcash) just had a major surge, but ultimately Bitcoin beats all of them with the balance between transparency, new coin issuance policy, and first mover advantage.
Remember, every time you’re sitting in a compliance meeting at work, government busybodies just stole a piece of your life.
