Totally not related to your job but: how often are people making fun of your name?

It's so heartbreaking seeing so many people shilling for the rights of "poor billionaire property" like they'll be ever able to even make a fraction. As a former squatter myself I have no questions but need to add one so my comment doesn't get removed.

How are you living today? I lived in alone for a brief moment and found it really hard; now living in a shared Appartment helped. Same for you?

Also nought but solidarity! 1 world - 1 struggle!

Thanks for you elaborate reply.

I do understand and agree with your point that it is rather a very bad joke show from the POTUS, however I personally see a big change in how journalism as a cultural and democratic function is threated which worries me a lot.

Being European we have our own current fair share of anti journalist violence like the case of Daphne Caruana Galizia and more recently death of Ján Kuciak in Slovakia; It feels like the fuel, provided by Trump, makes it worse globally.

Nobody argues against useful tech in applications; people argue against the scam-industry that grew around it outside of useful applications.

The term Blockchain in its current form is nothing but a simulacrum in that sense as non-tech people think it's "something about fiance" - but it's not. Also it doesn't reduce any risk beyond MitM attacks which are also complicated enough with actual money / items. Tokens have no value beyond being able to sell them to someone less versed in all of that.

How do you personally feel with the Trump administration's stance towards media?

How did your prison time change you and the way you think about your job?
