Where would you hide your Private Key, if this was your sleeping place?

"History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme." is one of my "favourite" Mark Twain quotes. I truly believe in historical cylces, only with a different set of technology.

@eveuncovered responded me on the Why for the Holocaust with: "Mankind has to become way more civilized." I don't think this is the answer to this. The Germans had been a pretty civilized society so far, with great achievements in Arts, Science and Philosophy.

Bitcoin is always promoted as a "nobody can take it away from you" - Commodity, but what if you belong to an ethnic group that becomes subhuman? Would you take away a Private Key a dog holds in his mouth? Probably. Do we have massive hatred between social groups? Just look at how extreme left and rightwingers in the West treat themselves nowadays.

I don't want to draw any Doomsday Scenario but simply push a tought to you, especially as many of us have visited this dark place last week.


Would you trade your Bitcoins/ Steem for a better position in the camp?

Are you actually capable of memorizing your Private Key or your Passphrase of your hardware wallet?

Is it even possible for the Crypto Owners, to use blockchain products when you are offline for months or even years?

I think you are rephrasing my comment quite a bit 😅

Do you think?

"We as humans are far from civilised still." (C) eveuncovered

But that wasn't really my answer to why these horrors happened, there is no simple answer to that and I wouldn't answer to it with one line like that.

Okay. Understood.

Saying we are far from civilised I was more referring to that we are animals and we act according to our own, and our herds, needs and wants, just like wild animals. Though in a way, I am indeed answering your question, I just used the word civilised a bit differently than you.

I use password managers haha
