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.

not sure I follow your logic. pay in cash they'll assume you keep stacks of cash in your house. letting them in to begin with means they could scope your stuff.

that's ok, let me try to rehash this ## normie way: cash/card contractor comes, does work, gets paid, goes to next job. The risk of them knowing the layout and security of the home is unavoidable (they need to do the work within the house), but for them its just another job. If you did leave stacks of cash on the kitchen table or showed the conteactor you have a safe in the house then its the same as I describe below. ## bitcoiner way contractor comes, client spends time onboarding/talking about a new technology that they heard the name before. That one client become more memorable, they get sats or not (or refuse the orange pill) but the person is memorable. Fast forward some months, a new fiat ATH is reached/NGU is in the news/the contractor gets fired/owes money to bad people/tells his friends a fun story at the bar about how that dude tried to pay for the job with magic internet money (pick any one of these reasons). The incentive to enact violence increases, they may not do anything but when people are desperate they make silly choices. This can include just selling the info and address to some more criminally minded assholes, who might assume you are some bitcoin millionaire and worth the risk of getting caught. Please have a look at what is happening in France the last months. A tax employee leaked tax data of those that declared their coins to the state (fools) and there have been home invasions as well as street kidnappings of relatives so as to ransom them. These are legit criminal gangs who take a list and dont care to verify the data. If you haven't have a skim of this compiled list by Lopp:

Hope this explains my logic and the reason why I don't tell me barber, locksmith, plumber or anyone in my neighbourhood that I got sats. I go to other cities and keep my address private AF, which is incredibly hard and inconvenient. As well as using nostr and socials with nyms. meow
