    A better analogy in my mind is that Bitcoin can be gold coin, and a fork is someone making cardboard coin, coloring them gold, and then calling it a type of bitcoin. Forks are comp…

    No, we don't know where the wallets are located physically. I'm not sure it is possible to brute force a wallet even if we did know where it was. A lot of people track and watch th…

    I think it has to do with the human desire to be apart of something bigger than ourselves. Major sporting organizations (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, etc...) are very good at selling storie…
