how did hominids manage prior to crypto?
Pretty much the way most hominids do today. And will continue to do the same way until crypto becomes normalized (if ever) and less esoteric, cultish, obnoxious, condescending, vain, whiney, excuse making. And above all these negative traits, eager to sell products to authoritarians, governments, cults, criminals, oligarchs, banks, gamblers, drug dealers, yadda. Plenty of ways to avoid crypto as it has existed for its very long history of serving the most evil, treacherous, manipulative, deceptive, cheating, lying hominids on earth and interstellar. Crypto has a wretched history of helping a few harm millions. Maybe it will change, but there has been a counter authority of violence effort for only a couple of decades, and during those decades the common practice of secretkeeping, lying and cheating for crypto money making has grown even among those loudly proclaiming the public benefits. PKC has indeed enriched some, and others striving to get on that evil-doing train of dual-hats and dual-use and dual-pontification. As the NY Times said of John Brennan, hard to believe anything crypto advocates have to say due to the far greater number of crypto sleazeball hominids reaping rewards of aiding governments than crypto hominid honorables aiding one another. Spies and cryptographers spread secrets pox. Stay far away for good health. Do not adopt that language everywhere. _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
