> centuries' worth of hacker legends about the lost treasure of the Dread Pirate Roberts

It is amazing to think that in a few hundreds years, quite possibly, bitcoin/a bitcoin derivative could be the "global" currency, and this wallet could actually be a lost treasure among people. Sometimes it's easy to think we're just in the here and now, but we are making history, we're in the future's past.




It's also reasonable to believe that the cryptographic technologies upon which bitcoin depends will not withstand a few hundred years of technological advancement.


By then we'll have a new generation of cryptocurrency. I hope it will be called Qubitcoin. :)
