I had a conversation recently with a 70+ year old friend about #bitcoin. He really wanted to know how secure Bitcoin was from being hacked.

I gave him the long-form, technical answer that went right over his head. But in hindsight I should have kept it short and said, “it’s highly improbable, but the idea is that the money you’re currently using (fiat) has already been hacked.”

The dollar was “hacked” the moment it came of the gold standard.

Highly improbable doesn't do it justice. More like we would need a technology which doesn't currently exist to even have a feasible chance.
