Much easier to carry then gold...

• mtmail 5y ago
  Article says $2000 USD in bitcoin. That's currently 31 gram in gold (62.52 USD per gram, 1944.57 USD per ounce). Actually easy to carry. Harder to sell, split etc of course.

    I email/matrix myself GPG encrypted files of my wallets so I don't even need to carry them... so definitely easier to carry.

      …but where do you store that key?
      • tormock 5y ago
        assuming the Internet doesn't go down, I store it online, encrypted, in the public view... I can send you my wallet, if you want (the key to it is in my mind)

    Easy to carry in terms of weight, not easy to carry through a warzone where a malicious actor would more easily recognise its value

      Not quite sure what your saying, other than nothing is easy to carry through a warzone. How would anyone even know you have your Bitcoin private key hidden on a USB stick?

        > How would anyone even know you have your Bitcoin private key hidden on a USB stick? I think he's talking about the gold... much harder to hide...

          Christopher Walken got a gold watch out of a prison camp.
