It's no secret that Thiel has particular ideas about human behaviour and about how the world should progress.

He is very clear in describing what he considers the issues, and it would appear that Trump's ideas in some way or other align with his own.

US senators demonstrating they are embarrassingly out of touch with the current age.

Also sad to see a senator resorting to dramatic effects like taking off his glasses before making a grand statement.

Sometimes I wonder if all those laws could just be distilled into a few universal truth laws or something.

The amount of legal gymnastics going on in court cases and things like this... It never ceases to amaze me. It all seems so inefficient.

Think of 'owning' a bitcoin as 'having the ability to spend' this bitcoin.

This ability is guarded by a private key. If this private key is stolen, someone else ALSO has the ability to spend this bitcoin.

Then, if this attacker transfers this bitcoin to another of his own private keys (he 'spends' it), in the blockchain there will be a record, yes. But who owns this new private key is unknown.
