You're scaring me, man!

Another, less-scary lens: if btc succeeds, it means (by definition) that everybody will be using it. It's already mainstream enough to be discussed on MSM, in presidential primary debates, etc. Random dipshits I went to high school with have Coinbase accounts.
If I was a well-known pro-btc "personality" from 2011 I might feel differently, and those folks should be careful. If it's known that you're super-rich then you should be careful in every era, regardless of the form your wealth takes; and btc will indeed pose unique challenges.
But the days of worrying about btc-specific extortion for being publicly interested w/ btc is decaying exponentially, imo.

Oh, don't get me wrong. Your original reply was spot on. That's why I'm scared.

This is the biggest incentives mind-fuck since the time a stacker awarded 100k sats to the second-most-zapped comment to his post.
I wish I could cite you, half-remembered stacker, that was a brilliant gambit, but I can't remember :(
