A Festivus for the rest of us ! <| sep |> Once you breathe in the Florida air , all bets are off . <| sep |> Alex Jones , Roger Stone , conspiracy blogs . The kinds of news outlets PresidentElect seems to believe are worthy of interviews with him . <| sep |> First read of this I thought you walked from Balmoral to Hornsby and I was like wow , that would indeeed be a reason to knackered <| sep |> If your money in the bank is stolen because you didn ' t keep your PIN a secret , you lose your money . Not much different than with Bitcoin . Here the money is your PIN . It is just a line of code which can be stolen relatively easily . You will never need to keep the pin in digital form . You would need to do that with bitcoin . Bitcoin also has a trail unlike cash or gold , only not one with identities attached like bank accounts which don ' t help much if the money stolen is stolen as cash , e . g . via ATMs or sales in shops . The public blockchain trail of bitcoin makes it difficult to cash out . The public blockchain trail is just a ledger . It cannot be tied to an IP , it cannot be tied to a person . A ledger is not a trail . It is a record of all the blocks and that ' s it . In the US this service is already provided by Coinbase and Japan is following . Coinbase is not a bank it is a wallet and bitcoin trading platform . The verge link I shared have also mention of a bitcoin wallet . Look into that article . e x c h a n g e scannowgetinsuredjapanNow that ' s a nice start , but it doesn ' t make bitcoin more secure just that holding it now would be more secured .
