the opportunity to learn about cryptographic security and operational security, something that everyone else pays so much for that it creates billion dollar corporations.

smug satisfaction mainly, but also sticking it to the man.

exploiting this desire to be independent is pretty sick tho. they built this bug in their shit and were privately exploiting it for years to live high on the hog and now some outsider dug through the code and went completely nuclear on it.

lessons to be learned? you only have yourself to blame when you trust other people with your shit.

thus reinforcing the importance of self custody. the distinction is that everyone has learned that they have to do a lot more work to actually achieve this.
