Firstly, I commend them for getting the vision started more than anyone else I’ve seen. It’s a V1 commercial product and they seem to have the resources to iterate. That being said, it’s not a very aesthetic craft. Sadly, they didn’t figure out how not to have wings. It’s like they took a Cessna/Piper and threw on 6 electric motors on each wing and a big battery pack and called it a flying car. Their former hovercraft product was much cooler!


Don’t you all think insider trading will be significantly easier with crypto? Why is there little talk about this?


Not sure why insider trading would be a thing. What information would affect the price? Most aren't based on anything substantive.

Front running and pump & dump are pretty easy currently. That's not a fundamental thing though. More of a fact that the cryptocurrency environments, especially exchanges, tend to be exceptionally opaque. Somewhat ironically.


Employees at major exchanges can trade on insider information about whether a major exchange will support a new coin. Employees at token-funded companies can insider trade on that same information.

There's already some evidence these schemes are happening at major exchanges. Coinbase's launches of Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash come to mind.
