I still get butterflies thinking about the clever beauty of the great network, computer, software, cryptographic security piñata in the sky.

It means that rather than being a story about public affairs, snake oils, and conspiracies -- security is now a legitimate business concern.

I won't pretend to have an endgame, but I really don't see too much to loathe. Even the most vehement concerns are easily reframed as opportunity.

- Unsuspecting public? To contrast crypto with the system not many people's personal financial planning involves bounding correlations between News Sentiment -> VVIX -> VIX -> Derivatives market -> Volatile inflation across all sectors.

- Security concerns? Again, this slaps a price tag, and hence quantifiable risk-level on every computer system security level -- airgapped? networked? It's practically its own insurance, on software that is still centuries away from being closed-form auditable.

- Proof of work? Global governments cooperate to limit, minimize, control power usage. Not such a bad thing in that light, the power system could use more care and engineering as it is.

The centralized authority of credit card companies etc that can reverse fraudulent transactions are one of the major reasons for the success of credit cards.

Bitcoin sees this centralization as a bug and the inability to reverse transactions is a feature.

Why do crypto bros only want the government to step in when they LOSE money???
