it just works (tm) bitcoin is still p2p digital cash, I said nothing to contradict this. My only addition to the conversation is that I would be careful to let contractors into my home and then tell them about Bitcoin... see previous comment happy for Marty and his electrician friend, but people do get attacked just because 'someone said' they are a bitcoiner

I'm never afraid to give physical cash. How does it "just work" if you're afraid to use it (for legitimate reasons mind you) to pay someone p2p? I see that and I have the stark realization that it doesn't just work, and we have a fundamental problem for our adoption.

the 'it just works' was a nerd joke (Bethesda game studios reference) The technology works, and marty has been able to settle his electrician's invoice with sats and not some fiat paper money. So it is still p2p digital cash, nothing changed there. The world we inhabit currently is still competition driven and dangerous because of human greed. I do not agree with it, but that is the situation and as such the risk of a physical attack is always there. This is a social problem, not a technological one. Fix the money, fix the world. Not the other way round.
