Are there technically superior solutions to SegWit / Lightning? Sure, on paper. They tend to conveniently overlook the issue of deployment.

@AlpacaSW @AaronvanW @jgarzik That is one possible scenario, sure. But when you consider it a foregone conclusion b… https://t.co/jUqL4N8bZp

@benyoung @CodyBrown @coinbase @projectfi Read the article I linked above; you’ll see that new devices can be added to Authy accounts.

@CodyBrown @coinbase FYI Cody: avoid Authy - it’s still based on your phone number. Switch to @projectfi for a secure phone provider.

.@CodyBrown’s @coinbase account hack is frustrating b/c @coinbase blogged about phone porting attacks 8 months ago. https://t.co/tSFHMtr4Ll

@AlpacaSW @AaronvanW There was never any such fine print. Folks should stop putting words in @jgarzik’s mouth. https://t.co/B79owe9RRU

@meeDamian @ChristofferDG No clue. Supposedly we’ll know in a few years, right? 🤣

@ryne_miller @BitcoinsSG If you’re using bitcoin for timestamping purposes rather than exchange rate value, sure.

@PierreDePe @BitGo Yeah, I contacted them 6 months ago about that. Their recommendation was to “disable multi-device support.”

@Aamirmlatif It’s possible that other coins do well or even better than BTC, but no one knows the future. Don’t inv… https://t.co/Pll4bH3dwp

@Aamirmlatif It’s a tried and true strategy. Day trading is just a great way to lose money.

@SonnyDunnington @BitGo No; Authy is based upon your phone number and thus is vulnerable to phone porting attacks.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to L1AD

@L1AD @ARKblockchain Indeed, though on the flip side due to rising fees it’s not viable to send less than ~0.0005 BTC

Folks who feel they missed the bitcoin boat are going to get a lesson in how small of a number 21,000,000 is relative to global population.
