A great analogy @nic__carter made on @BanklessHQ podcast is how #bitcoin 's property rights are like Tungsten:

Super strong (you have absolute claim to your BTC) but brittle (easy to lose private keys).

What's the best way/products to make these property rights less brittle?
As a MatSci major in undergrad, I harkened back to the stress/strain relationship we studied so often.

Ideal materials can take a high level of stress (very strong property rights) and provide high ductility before fracturing (difficult to lose keys, or easy to recover them)
Super interesting and thought-provoking episode.

See around 1:11:00 for the analogy: http://podcast.banklesshq.com/whats-an-etherean-nic-carter

Great job @nic__carter, @RyanSAdams, and @TrustlessState!
