It's basically like the older PGP/GPG technology compared to the more prevalent and high-electricity-consumption solution in the mining of computational complexity.

So basically I believe the dip in BTC and cryptocurrencies in general is because centralized investment went out having been tied directly to electricity prices, amplified by speculation. I'd also think to look into, as a possible cause of previous market fluxes in cryptocurrency, the crackdown on Silk Road, where BTC value was tied in some part to drug market prices.

It's one of those things where linguistically there would be a large amount of false positives and logistically there'd be a large amount of moderator work when there are lots of other things that are higher priority in moderating that would get slowed down. Even self-identification via post flair has a significant false-positive rate.

I created a subreddit user flair, Serving Exile in Flatland, specifically for people in this scenario if you want to help raise awareness of it.

My grandpa had a story that this one time he accidentally shot the wrong sex of a bird (female pheasant I think) and the game warden was coming his way so he hid the bird by shoving it down his pants. Then left the pants in the washing machine after getting home, which kind of freaked out his mom. Don't think the game warden or anyone else is gonna think about the gender identity of birds beyond an ecological maintenance standpoint.
