Stop posting neocon/intel/banker propaganda. I can understand why the FT is showing up so much here

Will it get auto-translated or no?

Ugh, stop drinking the elite's kool-aid.

That's the nature of personal responsibility.

So if it is kyc'd, you have to convert it all to fiat; leave; then convert back?

Not enough for their HUGE production

They might just hold onto the key, while you keep stacking into it. There is no way to know you have exclusive knowledge of a number.

And if someone else gains access to the key you no longer own it?

You have no way to prove that a number is known to you exclusively. If someone gained access to "your" key and spends the coins, the Bitcoin network won't recognise your ownership, the best you can hope for is that the legal system considers you the owner.

Nobody can take anything from you if you keep it completely secret. I'm just making a point about the definition of "ownership".

I don't disagree, but I think we should be careful about language

You control it, you don't own it. If someone else finds the key, they have the same control as you. Ownership is a social/legal construct, it requires the acknowledgement from other people.

Your private key is a number. I'm pretty sure you do want to own it, I'm just pointing out that you can't. The best you can hope for is to keep it secret.

I hate to break it to you, but numbers can't be property. You can't own the number 7 for example.

Why do miners need to buy coins instead of just mining them?

Language is emergent, it's absurd to try and control it. A bitcoiner should know better.

The Economist is a Rothschild propaganda rag. Don't take it seriously. It's meant to funnel the masses into societies with ever increasing globalist banker capture.

Sure, they did all that fucked up shit back then, but they totally don't do it now. What are you, some kind of conspiracy theorist?

Pay to public key coins, pay to taproot coins and reused addresses wouldn't need to be in the mempool.

And a 10,000 coin utxo is ~$1B today. Breaking one of those keys and also buying a bunch of put options could make it worth the cost.

That's not an answer with any understanding behind it.
