Professionally I'm an actuary, who works with mortality data, and various analytics projects using mostly R. I work in life reinsurance. The above experience made an interest in COVID-19 inevitible. I've also tinkered with Bitcoin since 2013. #rstats, #covid19, #analytics, #reinsurance, #photography, #bitcoin, #programming, #hiking, #travel, #wine, #capetown, #southafrica, and more.

Honey badger doesn't (shouldn't?) care about politics...

I think Bitcoin and bitcoin needs to thought of as neutral in terms of politics. It remains a set of rules without rulers and hence the protocol (Bitcoin) and the money (bitcoin) does not need any politician to continue. Tying it to any particular candidate/party/ideology does it damage because it is neutral to politics and has potential appeal to all on the political spectrum and in all countries not just the US.

nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp one of my security considerations that may be worth investigating as one of your deep dives: 1. You're a native to a country carrying it's passport where either you're the victim of something unjust or a big part of society is at risk. Assume the country has AML/KYC and other typic financial requirements. 2. You decide to leave the country as a refugee or close to it etc. 3. Assuming you've managed to carry your private keys out of that country. 4. You arrive in another country with developed financial system similar to the above. What would stop you from using your bitcoin that country? Or what would you have to do yo use your bitcoin in that new country to buy a house or whatever. Assuming you have or do not have a passport to that new country. I.e. I guess the answer may differ?
