lol the hack didn't require you to be a genius, it just required somebody finding out about the issue and trying it on various bit businesses

heck i could probably look at the bug list and figure out a potential exploit myself

something I have never understood about bitcoin: what was the long-term plan to deal with attrition? I know that mining is supposed to be impossible after 21 million coins exist. let's say that future infrastructure is not run by chimpanzees and actually remains secured against deliberate theft and human incompetence. there will always be ways for them to disappear. someone puts their wallet on a phone and drops it down a sewer grate. your encrypted memory card is seized by law enforcement and disappears into an evidence room and is never seen again. the babby pours spaghetti-os into your backup server at the same time your hd crashes. too many bits on your ssd are flipped by cosmic rays. coins will still become permanently inaccessible. then what?

Basically, the idea is that the remainder of bitcoins become more valuable. If 20,999,999 bitcoins were lost, presumably that single remainder bitcoin would be worth the world's GDP, and each satoshi (1/1,000,000th) would be worth several hundred million dollars.

Bitcoiners actually believe this is a good idea.

bitcoins are divisible down to the 8th decimal right now (and the protocol could be configured to go even further), so coins disappearing just means deflation and an increase in value for all the other coins, which is a good thing!

if you mean what happens if you lose your coins and can't get them back, well gently caress you got mine

it doesn't matter because bitcoins are divisible. just makes the 'currency' even more deflationary which is great for practical use because ...
