Are physical crypto coins ever completely safe?

Some pictures I have seen of physical crypto coins are very beautiful and might make great items to keep a long time. Are they ever really safe? Even if they use the most secure possible way to hide/protect the private key doesn't the coin creator, who funded the address, have knowledge of that key? How would the maker ever be able to hide that valuable key - inside the coin - without being the first person to know exactly what it is?

Re: AI causes brainrot

Adding to the really good response quoted below: When you properly use AI the experience can actually challenge and make your brain stronger. For example, working on some complicated code, the de-bugging and needed improvements can be an excellent way to use your brain. In this example, AI helps save time and the human is still doing valuable, important work.



So, there was a study (not yet peer reviewed), and results probably surprises anyone.

Group's brains were measured with a method known as Dynamic Directed Transfer Function (dDTF), that basically measures connections on the brain.
It was measured on using LLMs during tasks, using search engines, and using just their own skills unaided.

And compared to baseline (not surprisingly) LLM group had significant drop in brain activity.

Nature has adopted the "use or lose" method because we have limited resources.  Reduce gravity and your muscles lose mass as they are not needed as much.    But to stop using a tool because it weakens you is silly.   Most people alive have a drop in brain activity when driving since we no longer need to shift gears, monitor speed, check blind spots, etc.  When my mother moved from a washboard to a washing machine, never once did I hear her complain she was losing strength.      And no gen Zer will ever do math on a calculator to keep their brain sharp.   Some things are no longer needed.

So where was this drop in activity?  Wouldn't be everywhere in the brain - probably the areas required for the task AI was doing.  If I have AI write redundant code, the right side of my brain should not be affected.  If it draws a picture, I should still be as sharp in math as I am now.   Some skills are no longer needed.

Finally, nothing is rotting - we are not losing brain ability like in a stroke.   Everything that you lose because of a tool can be relearned if you lose that tool.    Some things are not worth worrying about.  Smiley

Re: Undoubtedly, bitcoin has gotten to all time high

We could be near $150,000 within a few days, back way below $100,000 (if Tether finally collapses), or many other numbers. The most likely result is shooting a bit higher, then backing off a bit to right about where it is now, for a while.


Not quite long ago.

Bitcoin all time high was $111970 but bitcoin has gotten over $112500 just not long ago. The market is still very bullish as institutions are getting in.

What that is needed next is for bitcoin to get to $115000/$120000.

Is that going to happen soon?

Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge

The price set-back was expected, no concern here: 100 a day will be a big amount & good for me. I'm in, thank you for the great idea!

Yes, it seems we aren't going to get the easy straight up run to $100K we're all hoping for that are doing this challenge.  It would have been great to see $100K pre-halving, but that was a long shot.  Now that it's looking like closer to the end of the year before $100K breaks, we may have a bit of a marathon ahead of us.  I'll be honest, I have my doubts as to whether I'll be able to keep it up until then or not as I can feel my body needs a day of rest, but I'm going to keep at it and give it the old college try.  This is my day 47.  Hitting 50 days will be quite the accomplishment and maybe if I can hit 100 days I'll earn a day off.

Great effort Og, you deserve more merit, wish I had some to give. I am overdue to get more quality exercise, so I will join this effort today, thank you.

Re: Bitcoin movement: my thought

I just thought of this, and I want you to view it from your own perspective. As everyone hopes that more people get to believe and use bitcoins, I think bitcoins can gain more new users on a large scale if anyone (whales ) can place their advert through a popular football club just as some companies do sponsor  football league. I think this will send a strong message to billions of people across the world who do know but does not embrace Bitcoin usage.
Let me site another example, let's take for instance, a club announces that they  will pay their players in BTC. This news can also help people adopt BTC.

The good: If we had a major crypto business sponsor the naming rights to an NFL football stadium that would be awesome!
The Bad: This didn't help: "Then there's Russell Okung, the former offensive tackle for the Carolina Panthers. He made headlines in 2020 by converting half his $13 million salary into Bitcoin. His $6.5 million investment could be down to around $2.7 million."  - Crypto Crash Costing NFL Players Millions
https://frontofficesports.com/crypto-crash-costing-nfl-players-millions/ and, Mark Cuban's huge class action lawsuit is ugly too. Many people in Texas will never go near Bitcoin again. We need to learn not to trust major scum like the FTX exchange.

Re: How Bitcoin was hijacked and centralized

Yeah well Paypal is still better faster and cheaper. I don't see why I need to buy Bitcoin just to buy something from Japan. A ponzi is something that relies only on new recruits to grow. Since when was Bitcoin backed by something else than new recruits?

Paypal has burned way too many people, with frozen accounts, etc, for you to win that one.

A ponzi is something that relies only on new recruits to grow, and BTC has that in common, to some extent. However, gold is not a Ponzi and someone has to buy the newly mined gold or prices will eventually crash.
