I listened to a clubhouse debate about real estate and it seems obvious to me that real estate goes toward zero because you can make more and repurpose existing uses. But tangible collectibles have a fixed supply... so the q becomes how much of the interest in them is monetary premium vs other reasons yeah? People collected rare stuff during the gold standard I assume?
Not sure if this $100 bounty from @giszmo is still live but a machine-readable version of walletsrecovery would be super helpful: https://github.com/nvk/wallets-recovery/pull/138

I don't know why, but I really enjoy reading nocoiner / precoiner HN comments on Bitcoin. A special blend of ignorance and confidence.
