People of Austin, TX, what’s the situation with the street camping? Is Prop B going to pass? Thinking about a move but would never live in another city where filth and dangerously unstable people are allowed to run unchecked after seeing the devastation in SF and Venice, CA.

Jesse, I'm somewhat disappointed to see you write this. You don't get to opt out. All of us live in this world. So instead of running away, work to make things better. You believe in the ethos of what cryptocurrency represents right? Then follow through with it.

Calling SF a war zone? Wow. Jesse, this is a really bad take. You know, I respected Kraken a lot for hosting Monero on its exchange when others like Coinbase were too afraid to stand up for it. I think I may have to start rethinking my stance.

At least 10% of our SF office has been physically attacked on their way to/from work. That was pre-covid. The situation is completely out of control now. If you want to stay and fix it, that's awesome. You can't fault anyone for wanting to live in a safe environment.
