Possible does not mean likely or easy. Bitcoin is by far the most secure and decentralized crypto to date. If you have ideas on how to build an even more decentralized or secure money, then please do so. Regardless, there is definitely need

Bro gramma sux. Lol I don't know, I'm just in a weird mood this morning and do far too much posting from my phone lately.

Lol, very scientific source there. Some guy claims he got sick in the nineties, as reported by a source already slanted against meat consumption.

I think eating meat also doesn't require vit C to process it since there are no sugars. Scurvy only happens because of high glucose levels.

With collaborative custody companies like unchained, this is actually not as difficult to do right as you're making it seem. Further, unlike an armored truck full of cash, security by obscurity is really easy here. That and for a short

I briefly touched on it above, but it's basically that you can mint as many keys as you like and require quorum to transact. 2/3 and 3/5 are common. This way it's hard for a theif to find enough keys to steal your BTC, a

I use it because I view the dollar as a debt based slave system I'd prefer was replace with censureship resistant sound money. BTC is pretty okay at that, but my preference is currently Monero.

If these societal constructs fail what good are they? Don't get me wrong, I think they're all probably decent as investments, buy they're a completely different asset class. I put BTC in the Gold/Silver category in that

And the guarantee of dilution. The banks are _securely_ creating debt based digital dollars they gain the interest on. Since they're already practically minting their own dollars they don't need to steal yours. And if for some rea
