Yes. There's something to be said for `physical security'--just like
for a conventional wallet that holds conventional, government-issued
bills.
As I read through the initial message in that thread, there was
a certain `bleak hopefulness' that came over me: `maybe this is
the way to finally make people care to understand things like
security'.
And then I read his last remark:
"Needles to say I feel like I have lost faith in bitcoin."
Isn't that's like saying..., I don't know, `I had my life savings
in my jacket, and then someone mugged me and took my jacket!
I've lost my faith in THE DOLLAR!'?
