Or even a terrorist's planning information prior to an event?
Or even genetic code?

- zacharycohn 13y agoAccording to an article from a few days ago, for about twenty years the nuclear launch codes were "00000000."
- georgecmu 13y agoWell, incidentally Minuteman launch codes were set to 00000000 for about 20 years [1]. Can you argue that zero entropy effectively reduces the number of information bits to 0 and thus drives up the value per bit to infinity?

The difference is the private key gives the beholder power over the wallet at any time from anywhere in the world. No additional information is required.
