I think you are right.
I’m afraid it’s more likely that you believe. We can only hope it’s a minor conflict. But no, it’s all looking more like a global conflict between bifurcated economies that will take out a large slice of the world population.
Which is sad because we just got through a “once in a generation” pandemic only blow ourselves up with the weapons of war.
History repeats itself in cycles.
Yes. We shall find out next year after ww3 breaks out. It will be much worse for a time, and then better, for the survivors.
And breeders are doing us a favor by wasting their resources and life energy on sustaining more life, rather than stacking more sats. Children do not yield more Bitcoin. Only proof of work yields Bitcoin.

While a Bitcoin-based economy would be advantageous for you and I, it would be vastly more difficult for 99% of the world. This means more war, more inequality, more violence for those non-coiners.
Children cost significant resources, and you are unlikely to see a Bitcoin denominated return on investment.
Why pay for more mouths to feed when you can buy more Bitcoin (before it is impossible to trade from fiat?)
Why do you want more children?
Honeypots and sensornets; telemetry from consumer and enterprise devices.
Checkpoint is a firewall vendor; the devices have considerable visibility of public IPv4 traffic and can report back to the vendor when various Intrusion Detection and Prevention rules are hit.
Other vendors are doing traffic analysis in cloud, so the vendor has an out of band view of malicious traffic flows.
The world hasn’t really gotten better, you simply ignore the decay for your own means.
It’s still a fucked up world getting more fucked up year by year.
Yes, and I simply use an offline encrypted spreadsheet.
Eventually you realize it no longer matters.
We are living on a dying hell planet, coercing life into this torturous existence is deeply unethical.
Yes, I regret every day that my parents forced me into existence.
I believe in the voluntary human extinction movement. Stop breeding, let humanity die out.
Thing is, these scenarios never really happen. Unlike an accidental bank transfer to a sequential bank account, the probability of accidentally stumbling on a public address in which someone else knows the key is so infinitesimally small, it is not going to happen.
It’s more likely to be lost for all time. A gift to all other Bitcoiners.
Shitcoin thinking. What a trash article.
There is no such thing is a rare sat, and pretending it exists is fraud.
You misunderstand me — “cryptoagility” is an anti-goal today. OpenPGP was designed for “cryptoagility”, so it runs against modern cryptographic engineering principals. This is yet another reason why OpenPGP is bad.
I agree curve25519/ed25519 is what you want to use, that’s why I recommended a modern cryptography library like NaCl and Saltpack for encoding. Not OpenPGP.
It’s not enough to not recommend RSA, a good cryptosystem doesn’t support bad algorithms.
Really you shouldn’t recommend anything, because users have no clue. You simply abstract sensible params for the user.
The problem is that openpgp has a massive footprint and supports many legacy key formats. It is from a time of “cryptoagility”, which is an anti goal today. You don’t want to be using RSA keys in 2024.
have a look at saltpack
OpenPGP is a legacy ass protocol. It lacks forward secrecy.
We need something newer and better. (Signal, for example).
The idea of an overlay encoding for social media is good, but we can do much better than OpenPGP!
Don’t tell them about your coin too soon. (But you will need to eventually, as a good relationship is built on honesty).
If you give up the game too soon, you will attract the bad kind, that only wants you for your resources. These people will take take take until you have nothing left.
A good relationship is a partnership, in which you mutually improve each others lives.
$Exactly. What is the alternative? Index funds? Money Market Funds?
Put another way, imagine you had $100k sitting in a bank account.
Would you rather have 1 BTC (at $100k/BTC yielding nothing, growing 200%pa [last 10y]), $100k of SPY ETF (yielding 1.6% dividend quarterly and growing ~12%pa [last 10y]) or $100k of Money Market Funds (yielding ~5.4% paid monthly, no growth).
I know I would rather hold the Bitcoin.
$100k/BTC is for suckers — we are going to $100M/BTC (1sat=$1) and beyond.
