> Even in JavaScript, race conditions are possible. I guess this was a joke/typo? Otherwise, are you implying that JS has any protection against them? This would be the last language I would think of.

> What's the point of public/private keys if the whole thing can be reversed, recovered and changed by FB? Less possibility for fraud via identity-stealing. Merchants will not need to see/store your private keys anymore to

Compare it to the amount of CO2 that the banking sector is emitting now. All those pointless buildings, branches, offices, computers, employees going to work everyday. To me, bitcoin feels much more efficient. Sure btc is not perfect, and h

Well, then, thanks to bitcoin we're getting rid of the banking system, which means getting rid of many manual jobs such as clerks and the like. Energy well spent towards more automation!

Well, Android is opensource so they will be able to just run it, but without that google crap such as gmail, maps, assistant, etc... Which sounds like a good thing to me. I'll try to buy a new Huawei phone soon.
