    It totally ruined a lot of people’s lives. They had plans to go work somewhere in Europe maybe even live there. Now they can’t do that.

    The whole point of the European Union was it was supposed to be a bit like the United States without having to actually form a single nation. All of the countries would effectively act like States in one nation - they even setup Interpol to act like state troopers. Imagine if you suddenly couldn’t move between states. Utterly stupid outcome, and 100% predicted.

    Just like any government the EU council did do some brain dead things, but that wasn’t a good reason to leave.

    All currency is by definition fiat because all currency is a representation of value. And the crypto Bros keep telling us that bitcoin and similar are currency so they are therefore fiat.

    From the sounds of it, the database was actually pretty secure the problem was the interface between the database and the website wasn’t. Good news is because the database was secure not a lot of sensitive information has been leaked.
