You know... as a fellow card player.  A deck of cards is one of the great analogies to a bitcoin key.  In fact a (well) shuffled deck dealt out offers 232 bits of entropy.  Just a few bits shy of a 24 word seed!  It can actually produce a 21 word seed.

But people do not realize how fantastically many possible combinations of a deck of card has (52! or ~8e67) In fact, did you know that it is EXTREMELY unlikely that a properly shuffled deck will repeat a sequence ever dealt from another properly shuffled deck?  As in, ever?  

For fun I actually dealt this sequence from this deck of bicycle cards sitting next to me:

The first address in the BIP44 sequence would be 12hZ1awWPMo4tGfYeHqZL2bhJr3DRafsqK (or bc1qpfaa7ms34k42jwl8eymdnxxcm2hug7d35dvp3q if you want to save on fees).  You can use this seed along with the password I made you!

If one were traveling to another place and needed a way to transport a private key in a very inconspicuous way one could just have a deck of cards in their luggage in a specific order.  And it would have just as much randomness as a 21 word seed phrase.

Not suggesting people use cards to store their seeds.  Too fragile, and abstracted.  But still a possible thing.

Woah woah! Lets not go overboard!

There's always gonna be Hookers and Blow to live for!

Just have to suffer through no Lambo's!

The solution is simple: Get your head frozen and have this tattoed on your forehead:

In this brain is the seed code for 10btc. Restore me to life and it is yours.

Then when bitcoin will buy entire planets whole civilizations will devote their best scientists to reviving your sorry ass. And when you are revived you give them the 10btc wallet code...

Then walk out with your 100btc wallet code still in your head. And into a bright new future.

It's pretty much foolproof: If bitcoin craters then who wants to be alive for that. And if the world is a crapsack world you just kill yourself again.

Probably you are correct that it is not a great topic to debate about, and I am going to stick to my number (less than 1%) absent getting better evidence than a lot of people believe that the number is higher.



Sure... lot's of people hope

and sure a lot of people want there to be an afterlife.

Sure, a lot of these people are very smart, too.

I am sticking with my less than 1% number.



Oh so you think that if I believe in something that is not likely to exist, the fact that I believe is going to increase the chances that it does actually exist.

Does not sound like a good reason to move up my number.

I am sticking with my less than 1% number.



Actually fair enough that the answer is likely to be a binary.  

Either an afterlife exists or it does not.

I still don't see how my believing makes any difference?

You are suggesting that my behavior is more likely to be immoral if I do not believe in the yes of afterlife?, so therefore you would prefer me to be MOAR moral and civilized and therefore you believe that I need to believe in order to be constraint my lil selfie from doing what I would really want to do, whether lambos, hookers, blow or otherwise?  

Makes little sense.

I am sticking with my less than 1% number.


Just remember that no matter how much you "like" such number, the number is temporary.

That's all.

$40,420.20


Not sure why but I really liked seeing this price.

Not going to debate about such things, but in over six thousand years of written recorded history, plenty of people talk about such afterlife, in different forms. I suspect the odds are higher than 1%.

I mean, you have at least three major Abrahamic religions, and more than a few couple billion believe in some sort of diety, such beliefs having a discussion on the afterlife.

You can also think of it as a hedge, just like investing, or risk management. We can pretend for a moment that such decisions are binary, one or zero, true or false. To the question, is there an afterlife? Yes or No? Then behave your current life according to the answer. The other question is, if the answer is no, then it makes no difference no matter what you do, but if the answer is yes, then would it be worth the risk to do anything against that?

I err on the side of caution.

Disagree. As soon as you have custodians, you have promissory notes and as soon as you have promissory notes, we're right back where we were.

I have no doubt this is a problem that can be solved without throwing the Bitcoin baby out with the bathwater.
