I disagree on both points for the same reason. Bitcoin doesn't rely on only simple keys. I'm sorry you don't understand. Try reading up on Bitcoin's features instead of repeating the same misunderstanding.

What misunderstanding is that?That you can't torture someone to reveal their private key. The're no misunderstanding here.That statement is just not true.What you should have said that there are ways to make it harder(or even impossible) for some one to gain access to your bitcoin through implement of torture and coercion( which existed for other assets such as cash or gold long before bitcoin's existence).

FYI, using quotes means the statement is a quote and probably shouldn't be taken literally.

Perhaps it would be better to construct your statement (or give a thought or two about them ) before typing them.

You keep saying things are not new, but I never claimed they were.

Good .so you accept that those "anti-torture"security feature aren't unique to bitcoin

Saying that being a scumbag is a way to earn anything won't help your case with anyone.

What case is that?I believe everyone here agree that people who swindle others for self gain are scumbags.Hell. we'll applaud when these bastards got their just desserts.
Stating the truth doesn't mean I condone their act.Calling them scumbags should tip you of to this .Are you implying that I should mince my words when addressing those dregs?

You fail to make a point.In fact you haven't even made a relevant point let alone refuted mine.

During the course of our interaction I've refuted your half baked ideas that:

1)Gold is easier to destroy than bitcoin

2)bitcoin is immune to torture.

3)You need to be honest/emphatic to earn bitcoin.

You seems to have trouble understanding my arguments.I suggest rereading them before spewing any other poorly structured counterpoint(or inserting derail attempts)and rethink/recheck your statements before posting them, lest you want to spread misinformation(I'm sure you don't meant to) about bitcoin.

Again you are ignoring my arguments. I've perused your post history and find nothing worthwhile in contributions. I don't consider you a troll but your changing goalposts are annoying. Still I will entertain your focus on minutiae and side tracking from my phone.

1)Gold is easier to destroy than bitcoin
I don't mean destroy in the sense of converting to pure energy. I mean rendered useless. Dump your aqua regarding into the Mariannes Trench. Gone.
Burn my bitcoin paper wallet. I have a thousand backups. Not gone.
2)bitcoin is immune to torture.
I don't have nor control my bitcoins and nobody else knowingly does either because encryption and SSS. Banks can't do that because it's not legal for banks to do with other people's money. If you torture me I will give you a decoy or two but know that you will kill me anyway so you can just suck it. If you claim mind reading powers then I won't believe you.

3)You need to be honest/emphatic to earn bitcoin.
Yeah that's a big one. I am too smart to be scammed by you (hypothetically ). If you want my money you need to kiss my ass and tell me I look fit. If you are a scumbag then you will deal with my scumbag associates.
