Don't a lot of platforms online not let you buy Monero because of this? Like how do people buy Monero through a reputable source?

Bitcoin specifically was never meant as a currency. There is a reason why people call it "digital gold". I do find myself hesitant to buy it since people buy it with the goal of getting rich, it ruins the entire point.

In theory I actually love the idea of Bitcoin, something independent of resources. I know that sounds weird, but the moment asteroid mining gets big, traditional money storage will get rocked, hard. While something like Bitcoin, in theory, would be safe.

I see deregulation as generally a bad thing if you want any of this to be taken seriously and not be manipulated. At least, for most of them. In theory you could have a crypto that is very resilient to manipulation, I just don't know if that exists right now.

The way they use the term 'expansion' in the article confused me. They are just talking about how the free content updates have been moved to be sooner than originally planned. They aren't taking about DLC or an entire paid expansion.

It's probably good the content comes out sooner seeing as how many lose interest at the current drip feed if content. I wish they would fix the games actual problems though. Or even just the hardware issues.
