Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

I think if you really consider to get your ass frozen and revived in the future, you will be kindy born again, but without personality. There is biochemistry involved, and afaik the process is stopped when you get frozen. So, there's Hal, revived, with cottage cheese in his mind, to a yet unknown extent. I am not sure if i would want that to happen to me.
For me, YOLO is not only the motto of a questionable generation of growing-ups, but it's something i consider as literally true.
Apart from that, i do and will teach my children that BTC is not the kind of investment it is usually compared to in the world of normal people. A way to independence. I will ask them each if they would sell their independence for money at some point in the future.
Good thoughts you started there in my mind with this posting.
I really don't want to press the frozen body issue, but I have no doubt that it would be possible, eventually.
As an example, here is a vid of bats, apparently being frozen solid during our recent freeze and then re-animating.
I don't think that their "personality" was affected, but i cannot really ask

Same for the gekkos in my backyard...I noted the location of a "frozen" gekko...then warm temperatures came and it was gone back to regular "business" of eating ants and pill bugs.
But, as you said, education is a more immediate need.
I am not sure how much of a personality a bat has, but it's a distinct property aside from eat/shit/replicate manners of most lifeforms
Reanimate a frozen dog. If it is able to recognize its holder, and shows the same personality (like shitting in the same old spots), i would have to reconsider...
