NEVER open an attachment from someone you don't know. And even if you know them if it seems like an odd request or oddly worded email - check with that person to see if they actually sent the attachment before opening.
And to make trust even more scarce - since the war in Ukraine started the US has blacklisted Kasperski anti-virus as a threat to national security.
Interesting, even-handed, look at Web3 and if it is too early to get excited about it.
The article is a couple months old but it was new to me. Wonder if the Canadian government freezing the fiat currency accounts of protestors and the fact more Americans own crypto (24%) than have savings accounts (23%) would have changed the authors mind? Now is it time to get excited about Web3?
Browser maker Brave announces it has built a cryptocurrency wallet right into their browser.
This is a big next step in the evolution of the Internet.
Of the 13 original copies of the US Constitution there are only 2 that are privately held and this group has raised over $40 million for the task of buying the one up for auction tonight. And I really think they're going to do it! This will be a huge public relations win for cryptocurrency in general and for Web3 as well.
The symbolism is off the charts.
EDIT: The DAO just lost out as the winning bid was $43.2 from a private collector.

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Coinbase enacted a similar "no politics" ban as Basecamp's recently enacted policy and reportedly 5% of their workforce resigned in protest (but with severance) last year. Would be really curious to see some reporter follow up and see if that 5% that resigned in protest were fully "vested" and made a killing in last month's Coinbase IPO or whether those 5% potentially made the biggest mistake of their lives. Coinbase now has a larger market cap than GM, Twitter, and FedEx... Heh Heh... For the record - I did not order the Code Red. You're goddamn right I didn't!... Ultimate Spinach would be a good name for a new cryptocurrency (or a new strain of medical marijuana)... Whenever you are thinking you are too old to start something new - remember that famed SCUBA diver Jacques Cousteau didn't learn to swim until he was 40-years old...

- The Network State - How to Start a New Country. This is a very possible scenario. I wonder if you could have dual citizenship and passports?

- Justin Fields tells NFL teams he's managing epilepsy. Let the rumors of him slipping to the Patriots at 15 begin. Personally I'd be more comfortable with a QB with epilepsy than one who's a vegan.
