And it was challenging because ...? Did it change your life or some other reason?
At a guess, I'd imagine many people would find the complete book challenging because of the unexpected material and viewpoints that can be found in sections of the Old Testament, like: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Judges+19:22-30
On this topic, you may want to check out How to Read the Bible: A Guide to Scripture, Then and Now by James Kugel. It provides a historical overview of how the implicit and explicit interpretations of the old testament narratives have changed with respect to scholarship. Great read.
One can read the Bible on various different levels: as a historical document, a document specifically for you, and so on.
It has many surprises (like the example you gave). Heck, if the Old Testament was made into a movie, it'd be R rated.
My current favorite scripture is the origin of the pet. It's in Genesis 2:18-19. Adam was lonely in the Garden of Eden, so God provided Adam with animals for companionship. Adam gave a name to every one of his animal friends.
It's an endlessly fascinating book. I have many versions of it for study, but I prefer the King James.
It's literally the only book I've ever found unreadable (sequentially.) I tried really, really hard for weeks, and not just once. Multiple times over the course of different years.
man, forget it. It's easier to read a kernel dump.
Of course it's for increased shopping through mobile. My daughter bought a Kindle and she admitted her ebook purchases have increased tenfold. Others have told me similar.
I'm deathly afraid to get one for the same reason.
Frictionless purchases and vertical channel integration makes perfect sense to me.
My ebook purchases also skyrocketed after I got a Kindle. But it didn't rise because the kindle made it easy to buy ebooks, or even because I prefer ebooks (for technical stuff, I actually don't). It's because I was reading a lot more. I went from 1 or 2 books a year (if even) to 1 to 2 books a week.
My experience is anecdotal, but it might be worthwhile to ask your acquaintances why they buy so many ebooks after buying a Kindle.
To be fair, they have to leave some wiggle room while they investigate the extent of the hack.
With a bit of luck just the hot wallet got compromised, they trace how, fix it and honour any deposits made to the that wallet before the breach was detected. So far this is exactly what they say they are going to do. Time will tell but there's no reason to believe they wont act correctly at this stage.
The whole point of cold storage is that only some coins are swept into it (and some remain in a "hot" wallet which is used to process transactions) so I don't think you can read what you have into this statement.
Unless their hot wallet was always empty (and how could it be, since it's by definition used for operations), there is no way they can say all of their coins are safe and none are missing. It's all they can say unless they know 100% for sure what was taken and what is safe.
