How the Bank Term Funding Program Enables Sneaky Backdoor Quantitative Easing

What'd be even cooler is creating your own categories on a whim

So if anyone's been following the saga on twitter between Wasabi and Samourai you know it's pretty bad.  Such infighting is not good for the ecosystem in my opinion because the drama isn't so much about the tech (though there is that too), it's personal attacks on each of the founders.  

I wasn't too familiar with how far back this actually goes.. but apparently the founder of wasabi (@nopara73) doxxed Will (a founder of Samourai) **before Samourai received a significant amount of funding in 2019.

Then there is mudslinging on the actual tech as well on Samourai about collecting IP addresses and xpub addresses.  Samourai has stated that they have to do this and that if you want to avoid this you must use your own node. 

Personally I prefer Samourai, but thought it was interesting the Trezor is using Wasabi for a coinjoin feature on its application (though it specifically forces you to agree it's not for illegal purposes, etc). Probably will just continue to use Samourai tbh... I'm also involved in the Monero community, this fighting is very much similar to the die hards of XMR and Zcash communities which I stay away from.

This is a follow up on yesterday's silly [What kind of Stacker are you?](https://stacker.news/items/681356/r/Undisciplined) post.

I realized I could simplify it to two very simple metrics based on zaps and items, which led to me creating a graphical way to display how we behave on Stacker News.

![](https://m.stacker.news/51526)

How to place yourself on the graph?
- Left/Right: divide the larger of your spending/stacking rank by the smaller, then move that many spaces left or right.
- Up/Down: divide the larger of your posts/comments rand by the smaller, then move that many spaces up or down.

Example:
- 19/3 (my spending rank/my stacking rank) = 6 1/3 right.
- 10/5 (my posts rank/my comments rank) = 2 down.

From what I saw in yesterday's comments, most of us are miserly trolls (which doesn't actually make numerical sense). I suspect that's mostly selection bias.

Do you think we've hit peak DEI? Will we see a swing back towards meritocracy?

Edit:

If we haven't what would it look like if not at least the optics of this failure to protect a former president? Its not a good look.

it's the easiest thing, also because there are still all of these barriers. Converting to fiat includes jumping a number of hoops, not just to transfer it to exchanges, where I have no active account now that I ignored all of their "you need to update your KYC"-mails for a while. But if I did do all that, the transfer to a normal commercial bank triggers there tripwires. If I can't directly spend it, it's sitting there safely
