I considered saying bearish. Maybe I could have been clearer.
I have a low opinion about the usefulness of cryptocurrencies because true security is so difficult. It's basically impossible, even if you don't make any mistakes.
I really enjoy this kind of stuff, and loved reading about the z-cash ceremony. I'm not going to those lengths to protect my secrets, so I feel it's better if I don't hold a lot of wealth in such a fragile way.
I used to like it, but now I don't. It's still neat, but it's too prone to costly mistakes.
Bullish and bearish are common stock market terms[1] meaning optimistic and pessimistic. Hawkish means advocating war, which doesn't clearly align with optimistic or pessimistic.
so you consider that someone may be reading and possibly modifying data on any computer/phone you own, okay
> It's one of the reasons I've been very down on cryptocurrencies in general
but you are willing to have form of money that is only accessible via said computer/phone that someone can read and use as if he was you?
how does it work? how's this not a contradiction?
