It's been a few years since I last fiddled with iptables. Now there's a new kid on the block:

OMG! I can't believe my @ManningBooks@twitter.com book Grokking #Bitcoin was just sent off to printing! Expect release in about four weeks! 🍾🍸🥳https://www.manning.com/books/grokking-bitcoin

Then slurped up 100s of billions of dollars.

Oh and it’s 100% self funded.

This. Consider showing respect for Nakamoto not by naming things after him but by using the name he gave to the currency he created: bitcoin.

This is both hilarious, scary and the perfect example of why we need Bitcoin. Venmo worried about the word "Cuban".
