@df50c179ed670394c4fd54cd3c611d3c0c4c8087c9535586592cd1fb9503ab1f Unlike real gold, Bitcoin is 100% tracked and surveilled by everyone on the blockchain. There is no privacy once bitcoin is converted to another currency. For that reason alone I will never use it. Maybe Monero, but not Bitcoin.
@df50c179ed670394c4fd54cd3c611d3c0c4c8087c9535586592cd1fb9503ab1f How is there any privacy when the entire contents of the blockchain are cleartext? 51% attacks are still very much a thing and with more and more coins winding up in federal accounts, this is a larger risk than many are aware of. Who is Satoshi?
The various blockchain technologies are marvels of data structure engineering, but I would be very careful entrusting material wealth to them in their infancy.
