What is the most bitcoin-y animal?
Honey badger is a popular choice but I quite like mountain goats and tardigrades.
I think I prefer Bitcoin as a mycelial network. A giant, old fungus that keeps the ecosystem healthy and balanced

This is a good choice.

Penguin. Almost indifferent to the wider climate, comfortable in water and on land, work together to protect the group and are dangerous when threatened. Also as a plus they can hold the rank of colonel-in-chief in the Norwegian military.

"cyber hornets"

Tardigrades are a good call. I’m thinking hedgehogs as well…

Unfortunately hedgehog populations are on a continuous decline, so I hope Bitcoin doesn't follow a similar fate. :[

Have to hope hedgehogs make it. As a kid in the UK we used to have to check the bonfire pile before setting light to it.
Fairly certain that an Australian disgraced former children’s tv presenter highlighting their plight in the UK wasn’t in their favour…
I think his show was called ‘Animal Hospital’ and involved squashed hedgehogs, paraplegic squirrels and one-legged pigeons. Before he got 5 years for kiddy fiddling.
‘Can you guess what it was yet?’

UK also. I rescued a baby hedgehog I found alone during winter a few years back. :D
I also remember Animal Hospital. Harris being convicted was definitely one of my bigger "WTF" moments.

People need to be held accountable for their actions - no matter how historic. Operation Yewtree kicked over a particularly unpleasant rock of UK celebrity culture.

I should have added ants too.
