A great analogy @nic__carter made on @BanklessHQ podcast is how #bitcoin https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">& #39;s property rights are like Tungsten:

Super strong (you have absolute claim to your BTC) but brittle (easy to lose private keys).

What& #39;s the best way/products to make these property rights less brittle?

As a MatSci major in undergrad, I harkened back to the stress/strain relationship we studied so often.

Ideal materials can take a high level of stress (very strong property rights) and provide high ductility before fracturing (difficult to lose keys, or easy to recover them)

Super interesting and thought-provoking episode.
