Answer continued: "The wonderful thing about cryptography, it breaks. We lose one bit every 18 months. Privacy shouldn't be forever. Imagine if you can hide things while you're alive, but know that in 150 years researchers can dive through..."

Answer continued: "and find out what the truth is. So you can do everything while you're alive, but the truth always comes out in time"

Speculation: As s Bitcoin gathers more data and the simulations are 'solidified', models can be built to fork history or predict the future with higher levels of accuracy.

Speculation: Plug into the simulation and travel back in time. Early Bitcoin has less data, but the simulation grows more realistic and accurate over time as more data is consumed.

Speculation: If all encryption eventually breaks and Bitcoin is a black hole for data, future civilizations will be able simulate the past based on ALL data that has become available.
