- voidmain0001 5y agoSame. A person I know was buying physical gold about 8 years ago in preparation for a mega economic collapse which leaves gold as king. However he himself said that he will lose in the end because someone with a gun will come and take what he's got.
- Melkman 5y agoThat's what the self destruct is for. If you are yanked from your laptop or vice versa the laptop will crypto shred its disk and wipe RAM. Your attackers can hit you till you die but you will not be able to reverse it.
