Re: Compared to Bitcoin, gold doesn't seem real...

Bitcoin is torture proof. Sorry to disappoint.

Maybe. But how long can the person who knows the private key, or knows how to get the private key, or knows how to derive the private key, or knows who the other signatories of the multi-sig keys, how long can he hold out?

What will it take to break him?

If you believe there are people that are that powerful and diabolical to abuse that kind of power, then Bitcoin is needed more than ever to stop their evil.

You don't need much power to kidnap and torture someone for his private keys .Any street thug would suffice.

They would only find decoys unless they knew exactly how many layers deep the cold storage bitcoins are buried. Then they need to know how deep the n factor authentication is buried. Then they need to know what countries and have the authority to find where the multisignature and SSS keys are hidden. Your street thug will need "a particular set of skills" to pull that off.
