JK Rowling Asks About Bitcoin. Accursed Crypto Twitter Scares Her Off

[/b]

Lurking below the Twitter surface is a massive community of people who tweet about almost nothing except bitcoin and cryptocurrency day in and day out, dying to use their niche know-how for the good of the world. Rowling accidentally tapped into it.

In attempts to speak Rowling’s language, many started comparing bitcoin to the wizarding world from her books.

“Remember how He Who Must Not Be Named placed 7 [horcruxes] in different objects around the world in an attempt to immortalize himself, so that no one, not even the Ministry of Magic could stop him?” blockchain lawyer Jenny Leung tweeted.

He Who Must Not Be Named (aka Lord Voldemort) thought it would be unlikely anyone could find all seven horcruxes, making him impervious to destruction.

Similarly, under the hood, bitcoin is composed of thousands of nodes around the globe running the bitcoin software (although the number might be decreasing). It is hard to shut down because all of these nodes need to be shut down at once to derail the online currency.
