Pretty impressive that we've advanced technologically and as a society to the point where we can now store somewhere between much and all of the GDP of Belize " (a) in an underground floor safe; and (b) on a single-board computer that was submerged under blankets in a popcorn tin stored in a bathroom closet."



What's stored on the computer is a number that gives access to a wallet. You could also store a number that gives access to a Swiss bank account on a piece of paper in the 18th century. I wouldn't call the technology advanced.
