However, I think you'd be a lot less smug and confident if it was your car that was stolen

The police aren't going to find your stolen car with or without flock. That's not what they do.

They also don't stop thieves who steal catalytic converters.

There is definitely room to ask, "What exactly are the police accomplishing?"

Why does demand for bitcoin exist? No government can prevent payments in Bitcoin, that's why it was created. North Korea, Iran, hackers, Wikileaks, etc use Bitcoin. If you want to pay a toll to Iran to transit the strait of Hormuz, you can pay it in Bitcoin. I've heard you can use it to send money over the Russian border to avoid sanctions (I haven't tried).

To be clear I'm not pretending they are the same. I believe in gold as a store of wealth. Bitcoin mystifies me.i don't understand what the fuck any of it rests on.

Everything has a supply curve and a demand curve, including gold and bitcoin. Where the curves cross, that is the price. This is economics 101, which you never took.

Air is more "innately valuable" than gold, but you don't pay money to breathe.

I have 25 years of experience working in codebases good and bad. I have many techniques for handling truly brittle, miserable codebases. These are not bad, are small, and do not give me problems.

This kind of code would give me more problems, but "problems" just means it would take more time. I enjoy working with code that scares other programmers, because I enjoy using the skills I have developed.

Jacob Coxon is the equivalent of a Walmart cashier this industry

Once again showing that you don't understand the industry, despite your earlier claim to be working in the field. You are a liar. You have been weighed, measured and found wanting.

You are liar who lies, who writes lies, and will lie until you die. What a pity, you lying liar.
