Here's an online demo of the zxcvbn library which makes a good-faith attempt to rule out passwords based on semantic/contextual evaluation:

This is a classic issue with money. What do you do if you're Taylor Swift? You're a 750 millionaire, with the next couple 100 on the way from this tour. Whelp, spent the first 50 on a house all humans will drool over. Got the compulsory car. Got the compulsory jet. Got the compulsory yacht (not quite as large as Bezos' (ehmm, banana?) that could not leave its construction port). [1] And with the other 600 million? Pr…
Use it to give people jobs. Open up restaurants and build schools and hospitals. Help friends start their own businesses, stimulate the economy. Tony Hseih, RIP, didn't have a private air force, but he made downtown Vegas. Someone's already started an electric car company, and built a rocket company to go to Mars, so that's been done, but there's just so much out there. Rhianna's got her clothing line for people who…

Nope, daily Bitcoin volume on Coinbase alone is over $200 million. Nobody cares if you sell 1% of that, at worst the price dips momentarily.
It’s hard to say how much of that are “real” trades, bots can have minimal liquidity but a huge trading volume. Satoshi is in theory holding onto ~25 billion in coins. Trying to cash that out would however absolutely tank the current valuations. But that’s hardly the only major risk. Bulgaria has something like 213,000 bitcoin worth nominally 5 billion or so and no particular interest in bitcoin, but trying to cash t…
I've personally watched sell pressure on Coinbase in the multi-million range get executed over the course of a few minutes, with only a modest temporary effect on the price.

I'm just saying $3 million doesn't do much to the price. If someone suddenly cashes out several thousand times that much, then sure, price will crash. I've personally watched sell pressure on Coinbase in the multi-million range get executed over the course of a few minutes, with only a modest temporary effect on the price.
Which is why very large transactions frequently occur either outside of open markets or across a surprisingly long period.

Take the 10 minutes to migrate to Bitwarden or 1Password or such and be done with it.
Yeah, if you have no attachments, otherwise it takes days and a lot of programming knowledge

Can someone explain to me what is the advantage of using something like LastPass over simply the in-built password manager that Firefox or other browsers have? I know that LastPass can be used for desktop applications too, but if you are only using a password for the web, is LastPass offering anything more than the in-built browser password manager?
Safari's built-in pw manager: - until recently, didn't have 2fa - doesn't support multiple domains under the same account (e.g., the stackexchange network is considered one site per subdomain) - doesn't support generating complex passwords (it'll generate passwords but I'd hardly call them complex…) - doesn't support credentials not associated with websites (e.g., an SSH login, a bank pin…)

You can have them both installed. Migrate your passwords today, then the other stuff as you get around to it.

There's a risk of "dragon sickness" (from The Hobbit) and conflating one's self-worth with their financial value; I feel for these folks, and support regulation that would make it increasingly difficult to amass money beyond a certain point (basic needs being well met and all that), along with psychological help (not in a pejorative way- I am a beneficiary of therapy and medication and I don't feel lesser for it).
People quite literally just hand money to people who already have money. I have sat in a room, and watched someone nearby check their phone and say "There's a minor wealthy celebrity nearby! We all need to go and buy tickets to the stadium! We might see or meet them!"
I went to Dragon Con a few years ago, and people were willing to stand in line all Dragon Con, their entire weekend experience, to see a wealthy famous person. I'd go play games, go out, and see the people move in the line slightly. All weekend. Stretched all the way around the entire block and down the street. Wasn't even "that" famous (supporting movie character).

Keeping your money invested in stocks is exactly the same as what you are describing.
