This will include all of the animated films previously locked away in the “Disney vault”. Some may come in an edited version or with a warning, when the “content is believed to contain outdated cultural depictions”.

Yet achieving it is difficult to say the least, thanks to the online traffic monitoring efforts and deanonymization abilities of government spy agencies, like the NSA.

What new knowledge did you gain whilst writing the book? I have heard others say that with Bitcoin, most people initially dismiss it as nonsense, then approach it with curiosity, then spend a long time wrapping their heads around how it could possibly really work, and then believe it to be the most important invention since (insert invention you highly regard here). I mostly agree, except that I think that there can be multiple Eureka moments with something like Bitcoin, which is strange both from a computer science and from an economics perspective....
