Think about it, aliens are everywhere, but nobody can find them.
Really looking forward to exploring alien cryptography.

They encrypted their presence in crop circles 🧠🌾
Actually, one would expect that if they are so advanced.
If local reality isn’t real. I think it’s more an issue of “re-cognizing” them.
Or decrypting them.
Aliens _might_ be everywhere.
A sobering consequence of the Anthropic Principal is that intelligent life can be arbitrarily unlikely to evolve. It only has to happen once in the entire universe. So there is a good chance that we are completely alone. The one planet in the universe with intelligent life.
Also, the universe is really, really, big. With current technology nothing humans have ever transmitted – even intentionally – would be detectable beyond maybe 100 light years. Signals spread out and diminish as they travel outwards – even a perfectly focused laser will inherently diverge. There's only a few thousand stars within 100 light years. Even if life is common there's a good chance that not a single one of those stars has intelligent life for us to detect directly.
Our best shot at detecting intelligent life is probably going to be looking for atmospheric changes in distant planets. It's likely that other intelligent life will have gone through the same carbon economy that we are. Detecting fast changes in CO2 %'s in distant planets is plausible. But we'll need a _lot_ of planets to get lucky enough to catch one during their industrial revolution.
If we are visited by an advanced alien species, what happens to the bitcoin price long term? Goes to zero because we will use their money or does it get an exchange rate against their hard money since we are so far from their center of hash we need our own hard money.
