  • I’m old and first played paintball before masks were a thing… we just wore goggles. This was mid-80s. I got shot at very close range right in the jaw. Took a perfectly round, paintball-sized piece of skin off, my jaw immediately swelled and with the red paint splattered all over my face, I looked like a crime scene. 😄

    Masks were a great addition to the game.


  • The need for privacy in crypto is significant and a hinderance to wide adoption. With most crypto if you send me money once I then know your wallet address and I can then look up every transaction you’ve ever made with that wallet and every future transaction you make later. Clearly that’s a problem.

    The fact that criminals are more motivated by privacy concerns doesn’t reduce the need and expectation of privacy for the rest of us.












  • The boosting of propaganda and the identification, tracking and exploitation of government targets.

    People in key government positions are still people like us and they love social media too. Having an app on their phone doing data mining can identify people of interest and then collect data, target and compromise them. Even without the app on a government issued phone they can identify key people using their personal phones and then target them for more sophisticated surveillance.
