From the bottom of the article:

"A big chunk of the share sales happened the first day of trading, as all four sold stock in Coinbase’s direct listing. In a direct listing, early investors typically sell portions of their total holdings to enable outsiders to buy into the company on the opening day of trading. Such sales are critical for direct listings to go smoothly, as the company typically doesn’t sell any shares, in contrast to an initial public offering."

So this article is just meant for manufacturing outrage?

As most are.

Well, that’s just like your opinion man. Some of the best dates I have been on have been dinner at home, picnic in a park or at the beach, hiking, etc. Just do not attract people looking to relationships to fill their financial needs.

Agreed. A date = two people spending some time getting to know each other to see if there is romantic (or sexual) compatibility. Don't need to read to far into it.

Or just hire fast and fire for fast. It’s too bad the US social net is so tied to jobs making that practically unviable. I would much prefer such a system to a long song and dance of any interviews.

Hire fast / fire fast has worked for some relatively lean teams that I've been on, but I can see it being hard to implement at mid-size and bigger companies where there's all kinds of red tape.

So crypto is fine for transactions that I can wait a few tens of minutes to a few hours to resolve, but not ones that I want to make at the rate of every fiat currency I hold.

I can see how other people would have that use-case.

I don't see how this relates to my comment above at all.

So what exactly is the point of holding BTC if it can be held hostage like this? Crypto continues to fail at its most basic premises.
twox2 · 4 years ago
Correct, there is no point in holding crypto on an exchange. If you hold your own crypto, you don't have this problem.

I'm a tech expert that wants to urge Washington to embrace crypto. Who wants to write a letter with me?
