Wait… I put all of my retirement and kids’ college money into ETH. I told my friends and family to do that too so we can get rich. Was that a bad idea?

My brother said he didn’t trust his money to a 27-year-old Russian kid who looks like a tweaker. My brother doesn’t know how to write code, I told him to do the research.

Should I be nervous or start shopping for a Lambo?

This increases my trust in the tech if anything. Shame about the rest though.

Yeah, programming is hard, reentrancy and timing issues are a thing. Every smart young coder has to learn about those the hard way — with other people’s money.
Good thing he doesn't even choose the codenames of the sub projects, let alone do all of the work or hold all of the keys to the kingdom.

Realistically, the validators do.

I saw The Validators open for Judas Priest at some casino in Palm Springs a couple of years ago.
