    Coinbase is lowering prices to compete for the pros.

    I mean yes, they don’t say that but come on: they are targeting high-volume traders — if you’re doing more than $500,000 monthly, I think you are maybe not a normal consumer.

    Wonder if this is the beginning of a race to the bottom on fees... and who will be left standing.

    Some more advice on aging, and not just for the young.

    Given the emails I’ve been receiving about my advice to Gen Z, I thought many of you might enjoy this bittersweet essay by 90-year-old Sam Toperoff. He suggests that even in the absolute twilight years, there are still things to look forward to:

    I dedicate this post to the NSA agent who’s assigned to looking at my cat photos.

    The NSA is buying your internet data!

    Intelligence and law enforcement agencies sometimes purchase potentially sensitive and revealing domestic data from brokers that would require a court order to acquire directly.

    Internet metadata can reveal sensitive information, such as whether someone is seeing “a telehealth provider who focuses on birth control or abortion medication,” Senator Ron Wyden says in his letter confirming the NSA is firmly in your business.
