Whatever, just wash your hands.
Something something first against the wall come the Revolution.
Something something what is second life? Something something our thing will be different and totally better.

My general view of libertarians is that they heavily underestimate just how dangerous their fellow citizens might be without the restraints of state power.
I tend to suspect they still want state power to apply, just not to them. "Anarchists who want police protection from their slaves." I'm seen it summed up as.

I don't think their fellow citizens are necessarily dangerous. The issue is the combination of "freedom" without any respect given to the responsibility a free society would entail is the real danger. We're very deep into valuing individualism as a society and while I don't think that's irreparable, it is something that needs to be sorted before we could push for no state control.

"I don't want the government to tell me what to do."
"Cool, let's defund the police."
"Blue lives matter."

They really manage to get so close to the point so often and still come away with the exact wrong take.

The hilarious thing is that this was just a side-effect of the attack, which didn't even manage to do what it originally intended. Somebody just botched some code and now all that money can't be recovered. Imagine if you went to the bank and the teller told you "oh sorry chap, we accidentally filled the safe-deposit room with cement, no getting anything out of there now".

Wasn't the last guy who reported his NFTs stolen lying about it to drive up the price from perceived shortage?
I could see it. I hope NFTs stick around for awhile, I get fewer scam phone calls now that there's easier targets
