Good to anticipate the problem. All solutions have pros and cons and maybe a whole range of options need to be on the table and different people can choose. Personally, I wouldn't use that option for a whole load of reasons, but I can understand why somebody might. I would probably shut off DMs altogether if I could and post an email address. If people then want to contact me they can through the normal filters which already work well.
I think they are hoping massive inflation will drain us of all our reserves. I'm inclined to shove my wallets and key data into a steel safe with a time lock on it set for 2026 and bury it somewhere in the night.
My thesaurus says "adequate". Never put "adequate" on a CV.
30-60 hours to competence, 10,000 hours to mastery. I guess proficiency is somewhere in between.
Thanks for the tip. My aim in life is never to have to write another CV as long as I live, and never have to sit another exam.

Ironic, possibly, but inevitable in my view.
KYC 2003 - find out the client's overall position, what they want from life, their attitude to risk and reward, in order to give them appropriate service for their particular needs.
KYC 2023 - harvest as much private and personal data as you can get away with before the customer says "get stuffed", knowing that in years to come those data will increase in value exponentially along with the data processing capability.
Of course you only have to change it by a single character to mess with it. But if the keys stay the same they only have to crack open one single message.
Could be multi-purpose. I'm not saying there is a more sinister motive. But if any government wanted to read what's in people's encrypted emails, I suppose, logically, this is where they would start trying to get in.
Nor do I. But I seem to get a lot of emails from people who do, and aren't ashamed of it!
Ever wonder why emails come with a line at the end saying "sent from my iPad" or "sent from proton secure email" etc?
Just suppose it's an encryption hook? Put there in case needed to access our messages one day...
Remember how the Enigma Code was cracked - somebody realised all German messages ended "Heil Hitler".
No idea if I'm right about this, but I always delete those phrases before I send an email.
That's another thing that's going to be replaced by an app before we know it - the medical general practitioner. You'll be walking down the street feeling fine, when "PING!" goes your phone. It's diagnosed you with something and is ordering you to get treatment before symptoms appear. Up pops the QR code prescription and off to the pharmacy you go. If you don't go or don't take the (RFID fitted) tablets, you'll get a visit from public health to "protect the public" from the "disease risk" you've now officially become. It's no joke.
Probably not sending it to all your friends by mistake thinking it was your public key.
If they were smart they'd print $100 billion and just buy the Bitcoin with it before someone else thinks of it.
It's part of the process.
How many of my clients have taken notice yet. Currently zero. I think there must be a cool kid waiting in the wings while I do the hard work, so he can swoop in later and sweep them all off their feet.
