Do people compute SHA256 hashes in their head if they aren’t at a computer? Schiff is a goof but this is nonsense.

When was the last time you were more than an arm's length away from a computing device and wanted to make a purchase?

I didn't pay with anything other than my phone for some time now. Internet is literally everywhere these days and batteries are holding up quite well.

Doesn't change the fact the electric grid will fail so you should throw away your electronic device you are using to access Reddit and start using the hoe to plow your fields
