I misunderstood the @Ledger multisig announcement the other day. I understood they've decided to charge like a Swiss private bank, but I've only just realized the extent to which they're not actually private at all... I was also dismayed to see that this is still NOT a Ledger

I know I'm not always positive about Portugal because it has its issues (esp wrt biz and gov), and I like to be honest about where I live. I dislike people telling one-sided positive stories about a place, it's never the reality But Portugal still remains one of the most

Imagine for a second that the United States of America would implement a radical reform of its voting system. Every US Dollar would equal one vote. How would you feel about that? Would it still be a democracy? Would it yield to good policy? This is exactly what most DAOs do.
