My favorite among the great many evangelists telling you the what and why about bitcoin is Doug Casey. Today he has an article entitled Five Common Bitcoin Misconceptions Debunked, which follows his recent Top 10 Bitcoin Misconceptions Debunked.
Among the recent five he addresses my concern that quantum computing might be able to crack bitcoin’s cryptographic algorithm. Casey also frequently writes about gold, as does James Ricards.
Here are reviews I have done of books on gold:
The Modern Gold Trading System: A New Vision for Investors
And on Bitcoin
Bitcoin Basics: 101 Questions and Answers
The Age of Cryptocurrency: How Bitcoin and Digital Money Are Challenging the Global Economic
Cryptocurrency: The ultimate go-to guide for the Bitcoin curious
I wish I had dived in with both feet at the time I did the reviews! Don’t we all.
That’s the news from Lake WeBeGone, where the strong man spends his time helping Zoriana with first grade English and math, Eddie with algebra and physics, and 3-year-old Marianna with jigsaw puzzles. Her favorite is a 60-piece puzzle with Disney characters from my childhood. How innocent things were! The most impressive thing is that she has the patience to spend half an hour doing the whole thing by herself. In fact, her favorite expression is “Ya sama!” I can do it myself. It applies to getting dressed and just about everything. While I am generally thrilled and proud, as I recently noted getting on the bus all by herself can cause problems.
One of the reasons I bought into Bitcoin was my trust in the developers. I followed a number of them for a while, and came to the conclusion that these are very very bright people, who will be able to deal fairly quickly with threats to cryptographic security, e.g. via quantum computing.
I am not very bright myself. But I work in a large IT company, and I learned to understand how important it is to have good developers, and to recognize IT geniuses when I see them.
I also looked at the Bitcoin core code. It is a very good codebase, which is intentionally as simple as possible, doing the basic requirements, but doing these extremely well. Good, safe code is always fairly simple.
If a quantum attack will happen, Bitcoin will be able to deal with it much better than any bank or any government. They have such convoluted computer systems nobody really understand anymore.
Another problem with electronically-based savings accounts; the US Govt. has clearly pierced any customer confidentiality in this Himalaya coin case and seized the e-coin assets of many innocent investors. Even without quantum crypto decoding they may have backdoors to everything.
