Taking into account the Coldcard desaster as well: Maybe a decentralized money system, where nobody can control you but - unlike a Bank that is in charge of security - nobody is accountable isn’t such a good idea after all.

@necrevistonnezr - hardly. Coldcard are accountable for their catastrophic mistake. The community has also learned a valuable lesson with regards to RNG and entropy.
Note that the coldcard incident had nothing at all to do with the Bitcoin protocol, which continues to securely mine blocks.
Remember that the money you loan to the bank:
- doesn't exist (it's credit)
- does not belong to you (it's a credit)
- is held by a (credit) institution that is not accountable to you. As anyone who has had their account frozen will attest.

@necrevistonnezr "money" is just a test score for your ability to create and preserve the value of goodwill. Many will fail that, and that's OK. They can take keep taking the tests gain until they figure it all out, or die trying.

Sorry, this is just nicely-worded nonsense. I'm a lawyer, and believe me, the "money" does exist and belong to you, you can successfully sue a bank if there is ever a need, bitcoins are frozen and seized all the time; and at least in a crisis a functioning state guarantees you access to it (up to a certain amount).
Remember that crypto is the currency that fuels (cyber-)crime, the most corrupt family to ever hold the US-President office, and even failed states such as North Korea.
The world would be better off without it.

@necrevistonnezr - I guess you are not going to be needing BTC Pay Server any time soon. Thanks for sharing your nicely-worded (and referenced) opinions.
