  • Safe: yes, the process is safe and can be guarded just as with any processed food.

    Energy efficient: it needs to scale up in a smart way to become more energy efficient. Right now production is small scale and therefore energy consuming. Investment is needed.

    Taste: it’s actually really hard to taste just as good as normal meat, as meat is not only meat but also fat, tissue and blood. For simple meat it can work well, but it isn’t an alternative to a juicy steak. That doesn’t mean that it is without purpose. There’s a growing group of vegetarians/flexitarians and people that are generally fed up with the way humankind mistreats animals on a mass scale. For them it doesn’t have to be a 1:1 replacement.

    Lab grown meat doesn’t have to compete with real meat, it has to compete with the meat alternatives.




  • Well, in crypto all your assets are on the blockchain. But you can access them using wallet software. You can have multiple addresses that have a balance, and most of the time anyone can see those balances, as the ledger is synchronized and transactions are checked by all clients.

    However, in order to access and send the money, you will need proof that you are the owner. Therefore every address has a keypair. In older desktop clients, there was a local file called wallet.dat which stored all of the owned wallet addresses and their private keys. That file could optionally be encrypted. Newer clients often use a mnemonic phrase and derive all keys for the addresses based on that single phrase, but the person in question still had the original wallet.dat, even unencrypted, meaning he could access the keys all along. Not sure what the mnemonic had to do with it. Perhaps that belonged to a newer wallet where he imported the old addresses into.
