there's a /biz/ discord server but jannies permaban anyone who posts the link so unfortunately I was never able to join it. I don't know how popular/active it is.

there was also a /biz/ telegram server for a while but it died.

as >>56362512 said all the smartest and funniest people on /biz/ post on twitter now.

The reason that everybody plays it fast & loose with cryptography & infosec -- from the DoD/military buying backdoored cryptogear to Ledger simply not giving a fart about the safety of the seed phrase on the Nano S they sold to (You) -- is because cryptography was solved during the Cold War (if not actually during WWII -- strange how many codes were "broken" by the allies).

>but how?!

By Magic(tm)! I mean, more or less... basically, remember all those psychic spy programs America & Russia undertook to compete against each other in the amazing "new" battlefield of the Psyche? This was long before all that Cyberspace jazz became hot; the new battlefield of the Cold War was literally going to be in the MIND... which is where the war was ultimately fought & won (or lost, depending on your perspective).

You see, the USA & CCCP each dumped oodles of black budget money into finding, enhancing & training the very best psychics they could find. These cats could just kinda *guess* what an encrypted message said, without having to bother with breaking the encryption. The best didn't even need to have an intercepted message on hand; they would just *know* that a message had been sent (or was going to be sent in the future[!]), and be able to regurgitate the entire decrypted message.

So, if you ever worry about getting compromised technologically, don't sweat it: you've already been compromised psychically.

would be worth around $170,000 today

you should go to college and invest in yourself.

even if you managed to invest in bitcoin early enough to make 100x, unless you invested $10,000 you still don't have a million dollars.

you need to have money to make money.

you should be spending this time getting a kickass GPA and internships while majoring in an employable major at a reputable college. Get a good job and then work hard for a few years and maybe jump around between companies to increase your pay.

Then when you're making six figures you can invest in magic internet money and other ponzis. And maybe, in the unlikely event that you invest $10,000 in a coin that actually 100x's, you can retire a millionaire.

But when that doesn't happen, which it won't, at least you'll be able to fall back on your good job and high income, and achieve a high standard of living and perhaps a modestly early retirement if you save your money wisely.
