No Sean Spicer Didn’t Make Some Secret Bitcoin Transaction

Thank you for the educational write up! Bitcoin literacy is sorely lacking among journalists, and yet they often forget to contact experts such as yourself...

Oh, I was under the assumption it was a pin or a similar tool that needed to be confirmed from his verifiable twitter acct before the funds were transferred to a previously agreed upon bitcoin wallet.<p>But that&#x27;s a stretch.

Louise Mensch seems to have gotten lucky on one story and it&#x27;s gone to her head. Her twitter feed is just full of nonsense.

There&#x27;s a comma missing after &quot;No&quot; in the title, and it&#x27;s driving me insane.

What time zones are these things in?

It looks like a wi-fi password.<p>I harbor a strong intuition that Sean Spicer lacks a certain <i>je ne sais quoi</i>, required to even consider trying to bitcoin.

&gt;&#x27;the private key can be determined from the brain wallet string, which is Sean Spicer’s tweet&quot;<p>So the string was a brainwallet seed? Then he was tweeting about bitcoin afterall. On the other hand, literally any tweet could be made into a brainwallet seed. So, in principle, all tweets are about bitcoin.
