I was often amused how there is a group of cryptocurrency people who hyperfocus on some part of security and then not take the whole risk situation into account. People who brag on how secure they store their seed phrase, how many bits of encryption they just and gush about how great the bitcoin security all works and prevents the evil gov from hyperinflating their dollarinos or local equivalent.
And then also post stuff like ‘hey fellow coiners, I’m going on vacation to Portugal next week, I will be arriving at airport X at monday at 20:00, anybody want to meet up? You can recognize me by my bitcoin propellor hat.’ It is like they want to be rubberhosed.
Say what you want about John McAfee (no really he wasn’t a great person, so say what you want), but he at least he was the only one smart enough to bring private security to a cruise filled with crypto libertarians. https://lauriepenny.substack.com/p/ship-of-fools (I wonder how many of them got the hint and implied threat and realized that next time they should bring their own).
