    I’m not sure comparing renewables with bitcoin is the right way to go here. One of these actually provide tangible value, and it’s not bitcoin.

    As for physical keys for security in general, I’m a big fan.

      Bitcoin is hilarious. The superior Trustless system.

      Except everyone accepts Tethers ‘trust me bro’ no audited proof of backing.

      Trust the maker of your hardware wallet.

      Trust your exchange with your BTC (not your keys, not your BTC)

      Trust Satoshi Wallet will never move.

      Trust ‘number go up’

      This movement takes more faith than those that believe jesus walked on water.

        Never occurred to me using the “at least it’s not blockchain”-gambit when discussing religion. I’ll keep that on the back burner till next time!
