    Stive Pesley got a reaction from cstand in World of crypto   
    Key difference is that those accounts are deliberately secret and the owners never mention them. As opposed to BTC where the HODLers never shut up about how much they are into their crypto 😂
    Oh definitely - which is why there is a whole industry of "estate hunters" trying to track down obscure 5th cousins for a percentage of the pot in all these unclaimed estates. Because probate law applies and if you can prove you are the next closest living relative, the bank will release the funds. Crypto is just a dead duck though. You'll be dead before you brute force a SHA-256 hash

    Yeah - I meant if people *don't* manage to do that. Given that there are a large amount of young people in the BTC market, I'm guessing there will be a fair chunk of them who won't have given this a second thought. And it's not like probate laws can decrypt wallets
    So as NottsRam said - in this instance it's gone. I'm sure I read somewhere that an estimated 20% of BTC are already lost due to death/lost keys
    Kind of makes it an unusual "store of wealth" in that respect. At least gold exists and can be inherited.

    I understand why you would (from all the very well reasoned posts you've made) - but to me, option C is by far the highest risk strategy (unregulated and volatile) of the 3 - hence one of the reasons I'm disinclined to go anywhere near it. Also ethically I don't feel comfortable with it, as I've mentioned before a few times!

    Plenty of ill-gotten gains tied up in Crypto Stive! The anonymity used to be a prime draw and not every investor is a spotty yoof! Sadly that includes yours truly! 😂

    The answer to this is a deep conversation that i dont think any of us have the energy for 😂😂
    Shorthand version
    inflation, moving off the gold standard, greedy governments, reckless spending and borrowing, limited supply, deflationary etc etc etc lol

    I said to Mrs Badger. Don't you think I'm like Larry David?
    She replied. Yes <pause> you're a bald bad tempered t*** too.
    How we laughed.

    I enjoyed Season 2, but not as much as Season 1
    Season 3 (the Ewan McGregor one) was much better.
    Season 4 was the terrible one that we gave up on. 
    The new one Season 5 was back on form again

    Absolutely not, but the reasons for that are nothing to do with bitcoin are they?
    Nor would Bitcoin solve the problem. What would the above clipping look like if the example date was 2014 and he paid for his house in Bitcoin?

    Musk's fanbois don't care though, Stive. He could take a dump in their mouths and they'd still be fine with it as long as some members of the wokist cult had to smell it. I cite Trump, Brexit and Boris Blowhard as precedents. Meanwhile, my 'bot collection' grows by the day 👽

    Stive Pesley got a reaction from Jimbo Ram in Nonsense you grew up believing   
    As a small child of about 5 I vividly remember discovering that my own "little stive" sometimes went all big in the bath, and my mum telling me to stop touching it because "if you keep doing that, it will fall off"
    I didn't dare go near it again until I was about 13 - at which point I thought "sod it, if it falls off, it falls of - at least I'll have fun finding out"

    Remember when Musk said last year that he "cannot go beyond the laws of the country to defend free speech" and he censored anti-Erdogan accounts in Turkey as a result?

    The fact that he's willing to challenge the laws of a country when it comes to the "free speech" of far-right Bolsanaro supporters tells us all we need to know about the Twitter bin-fire

    I was just waiting for him to full on k-hole and fall off the stage 😵 
    Think back to the early days of him launching the Tesla range and how lucid and charismatic he was. He's like some rambling old pisshead these days. It's nice that he'd like to meet an alien though, though not the illegal type, obviously!

    Christ - I skipped through that, he's a terrible public speaker, and clearly deranged 😂
    He must have said "we're actually going to do this" about a dozen times in just the snippets I watched
    He's obviously trying hard to convince you all!
