    The physical coin thing. I recall the moment coiners were all gloating and mocking the TSA agent who was looking for physical bitcoins on some person traveling with bitcoin paraphernalia. ‘silly idiot doesn’t he know that cryptocurrencies are virtual’, but yeah of course they are also making physical coins with the magical numbers in/on them. But surely this isn’t too complicated for the normal unbanked people to understand and safely use. (The number is going down right, so we are back to banking the unbanked right?)
