    When our village attacks those bastards from over the mountain we will call it a world war.

    The French will never agree.

    Their stance has always been, if France is threatened we will use every weapon in our arsenal.

    They do not have end the world stocks of nukes like the US or Russia so their attitude is, "Fuck with us and we will end you."

    a whole lotta worse than regular executions

    Only to the people justifying state murder. To the person involved, they are still dead either way,

    To me the Saudi.Taliban methods are more honest, though just as mortally reprehensible as the USA's. The Saudi's are proud that they murder their citizens and are not afraid to show it.

    The big thing people over look when considering the we are broadcasting thousands od watts into space, they might hear use is SNR

    Signal to noise ratio. (the more random stuff on a frequency the harder it is to read the signal)

    Yes, humans are pumping out a huge amount of radio (etc) signals into space. it is not coherent or directed.

    Thousands of antennae all over the world pumping different signals but from far away, they are all noise interfering with each other.

    IIRC: Even if there was a radio telescope only a few light years away, all they would see pointing directly at earth would be static.

    The author, James Clavell wrote 6 novels set in Asia that span 400-ish years. Shogun - 1600 to the last set in the 1990s.

    Shogun is one of the best but they are all worth a read.

    My rating of the Series.

    Shogun & Noble House tied for first. (both were made into mini-series in the 80s)

    Tai-Pan

    Gai-Jin

    King Rat (his first novel, based on personal experence in WW2)

    Whirlwind

    Give them advice about how to do it to someone else.

    The vast majority of people (i include myself in this) will fuck it up in some way and end up harming themselves. If you seek to destroy someone's life and you don't actually end it, you leave behind someone who has nothing left to lose and is highly motivated to find who is responsible.

    If you destroy someone's life they may end yours.

    you seem to think about cryptocurrencies like gold as well; an investment.

    because that is what it actually is used for.

    My question was about the future of them as a normal currency

    That is dead and burred.

    The one thing a currency needs is a relatively stable value, otherwise it is useless as a medium of exchange...ie: money.

    While crypto is as stable as that bear that ate a couple of kg of cocaine.

    I think of it as a ponzi scheme because that us what it has become.
