I would expect him to throw away his private keys, to guarantee they would never fall in the wrong hands. And then maybe mine some new coins anonymously.
You can learn everything you want to know by reading the source code of the bitcoin nodes. Knowing the identity of the guy who wrote the first version doesn't really add anything.
That would be ideal but we have to work within government capabilities without authoritarian rule
Government rules from authority, so that's not a problem. You need the same rule to install your CO2-removal machines, except they would be much less efficient, so you need a lot more power.
So, where's the white paper where we can read the technical details of this coin ? Or is just some nonsensical fluff piece with no other purpose than to promote Burger King ?
I don't think they'll get away with calling it meat unless it's close to meat
They'll do what they always do: come up with a cool sounding fantasy name (I can't believe it's not meat), and then claim it's even better than real meat.
B12 isn't 'provided by meat', it's provided by microbes
Yes, that's well known, but irrelevant. There's B12 in meat. There's no B12 in plants. The protein in a steak is also provided by microbes.
And I'm aware that most of the things I mentioned can be made in the body. For instance, you can make your own D3 by sitting in the sun. But at northern latitudes, there isn't enough sun in the winter months, so you can risk a D3 shortage. Eating meat helps provide deficiencies.
Another example is amino acid lysine, which is mostly found in connective tissue. It's not on the list of essential amino acids, but without dietary intake, you may not have enough of it, because our rate of synthesis is too low.
But if you want to eat it, it comes from the same place as fish get it: algae
And how many vegans eat algae ? My point is not that it's impossible to find substitutes. The point is that meat provides an easy access to a whole bunch of nutrients that would take a serious effort to collect in a plant based diet. People following a lazy vegan diet risk serious deficiencies.
Looking at what the food industry has provided so far, we can safely assume it will be very tasty, but poor quality. Quality cost money, and people aren't going to be able to tell the difference, anyway.
and create muscle meat (or organ meat, if that's your thing
Keep in mind that regular animal muscle depend on substances that are made in the organs. Maybe you can grow muscle cells without that, but then it could be deficient in nutrients.
You only need to get the amino acids your body can not not produce from "somewhere"
You think that amino acids are the only thing in a well balanced diet ? How about taurine, creatine, heme iron, docosahexaenoic acid, cholecalciferol, carnosine and cobalamin, just to name a few things ? Which plants provide those ?
Well, I guess it would be nice to have an alternative form of money with a hard cap on the amount of coins, so you can store your wealth without having to worry about the Fed making it worthless.
The Bitcoin bubble will eventually burst. The best blockchains, those that provide real utility, will live on.
Bitcoin is not static. The software can be upgraded to include new features. In fact, later this month, some features will be added to increase utility. On the other hand, bitcoin is a bit more conservative, which also adds value and security. Other blockchains can try out new ideas quickly, and if they turn out to be working great, the bitcoin blockchain can "steal" them.

They removed some subsidies. It's not a robot tax.

So, you are gonna close your mouth hole?
The carbon from my mouth was sequestered by plants less than a few years ago. It's a carbon-neutral cycle. I bet you knew that already.
So, where's the white paper where we can read the technical details of this coin ? Or is just some nonsensical fluff piece with no other purpose than to promote Burger King ?
Also, YOU are a machine that actively adds carbon into the air. So turn yourself off first.
No, I need to be around to say "I told you so".
I'm sure the good people of Texas don't want federal help. They are perfectly capable of helping themselves.
It's time to start using technology to produce billions of machines that actively and permanently remove carbon from the air.
A better first step would be to turn off the machines that actively add carbon to the air.
You talk in a typewriter font ?
If you want to get into that, for most purposes you don't need a rocket.
Don't be silly. Rockets are needed to get satellites in orbit.
Think of it - a fully functional, manned space station with just one launch
I'd rather not. The space station is a useless money pit in the sky.
For most purposes, we don't need Saturn V levels of thrust.
Because US copyright lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years.
This is not a case of copyright infringement, though, because the original work (the code for the breakout game) has not been copied.

Vitamin C - which meats do you find that in?
I'm not advocating a meat-only diet.
The Koreans have solved it too:

That meat will be high-quality
Looking at what the food industry has provided so far, we can safely assume it will be very tasty, but poor quality. Quality cost money, and people aren't going to be able to tell the difference, anyway.
trying to find things to do with the parts people don't want to eat.
We actually have a long list of useful purposes for virtually every animal part, so that may become an issue if all meat is lab grown.

Can you give an example of how a miner would manipulate the currency ?

The nodes are more important than the miners, and the nodes are spread out over the world.

Bitcoin miners help secure the network, so it's money for a service.
