I remember bit coin at 25 cents. I also remember some investors being hacked and losing it all. Can you own bit coin without the NSA knowing?

You got in before Winklevoss twins got in. They got in at 120.

Lost Passwords Lock Millionaires Out of Their Bitcoin Fortunes
Bitcoin owners are getting rich because the cryptocurrency has soared. But what happens when you can?t tap that wealth because you forgot the password to your digital wallet?

A couple buddies of mine built a mining rig years ago when it was still relatively attainable, and had actually accumulated several bitcoins...
However, being young and dumb, they managed to lock themselves out quite thoroughly, and can't get back in. They are actually trying to get the old cell phone number back that is required to 2 factor authenticate themselves back into the account...
I may be in the minority here, but I view cryptos in the same light as stocks, fiat currencies, and all the other monetary vehicles that carry no intrinsic value. Fine for temporary financial endeavors, but not long term solutions.
Correct.
If a person cannot take physical possession of an item, they do not own it.
I participate in a 401K that a Wall Street firm owns, I just get to look at it and manipulate it. Theoretically I'll be able to draw on it in the future. There is an excellent chance the incoming administration might take a portion or all of it, they just stole 2 elections, what's to stop them from stealing my 401K.
I'll LOL while people tell me "that won't happen because it hasn't happened in the past".
If one can be cancelled from the internet for an opposing thought, or ideology . Imagine the control a few have over millions of dollars of "internet" money. Click and it's gone.
If qwest employees lost millions in retirement due to 1 or 2 people . Think of the worldwide ramifications, of an unknown entity holding that.
If you truly believe that there is an "excellent chance" of the incoming admin. of stealing your, and everyone else's 401K, why wouldn't you pull out now. Why risk it?Quote:

Personally, I guess I am in the group that you will LOL at. Because I just don't see it happening. I mean come on, talk about pissing people off, lots and lots of people. It seems to me that it would be political suicide for any politician, Dem or Repub. to try to do it.
