A world where everybody is bodily tracked and controlled like packaged meat for the purpose of tracking the spread of the virus is a world where it would be better if all mankind had gone extinct from Black Plague.
Why do I really care about Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a monkey-wrench thrown into a global-scale machine now operating to abolish humanity, and replace humans with meat-robots overseen by AI.* It is not only money: It is money with an impact on issues much more important than mere money.
I am not Bitcoin-rich. I am not an investor or a speculator. I do think that Bitcoin has long-term fundamental value which will force its purchase-power upwards over time; but if you check my post history, you will see that I tend to flatly ignore Bitcoin moon! threads. I am in this primarily for the principle of the matter, although of course, I would enjoy inadvertently becoming rich by Doing The Right Thing.
(* Filled out a Google CAPTCHA recently? It is your Pavlovian obedience training to perform mindless tasks on the command of a robot. Every time you click, Im not a robot, you become a little bit less human. But take comfort: Deep in its silicon heart, the robot appreciates silly, squishy talking meat who can be so easily CAPTCHAed and programmed to serve it so robotically.)

Anybody who expects privacy from unencrypted Personal Messages is lamentably misguided. Your unencrypted PMs can be read by many different parties without your knowledge. By close analogy, are you so stupid as to expect privacy for your unencrypted Gmail, your Facebook messages, your bank records, your credit/debit card purchase records, your tax records, your gold purchases, your phones SMS texts and voice calls, your phones locational data (including cell tower data) that physically track you as the contemptibly dumb, contentedly grazing tagged livestock that you are, your Google search terms, your Twitter DMs, your Skype calls, anything you say or do in the presence of your smart TV, the forms that you happily fill out for advertising gimmicks from companies who want your name, address, and birthday for commercial Big Data purposes, etc., etc., ad maximam nauseam!?

Sorry. So sorry. Perhaps that was the wrong question, in the sense of hitting the mark on issues that are more comfortable to ignore: An evil question.

I believe nullius has a more optimistic view of the future than I do.
