Re: Bitcoin question (How did FBI recover some pipeline ransom)
Actually the DOJ got the private key to the wallet, during a raid on some server. True. the hackers left the key on the cloud server that they used to attack. Sloppy. Just because it is written on the blockchain. You still need keys to access the funds. I used to be a gold bug. However, upon furthe...

Re: Did Bitcoin Kill Gold’s Monetary Utility?
Bitcoins being stored in a public encrypted ledger is nice/simple/low-cost for storage, however a 32 character key being the proof of ownership is a major concern from my perspective, especially as any thief doesn't need local access, can steal from a distance from anywhere in the world. Feels some...

Re: Bitcoin question (How did FBI recover some pipeline ransom)

Would it be crazy to put a significant % of your nest egg in yield farming Stablecoin crytpos (like USDC, USDT, TUSD, Dai, etc) instead of the PP? There are quite a few of these "farms" yielding around 20% or more a year on cryptos that theoretically stay put at $1/coin. Yes depends becau...
