I am afraid that soon, actual sea pirates, e.g. in Central and South America, Africa, etc. will start using naval mines in their regional seas, demanding crypto payment from passing ships.

Things that have never happened with USD. Glad we have a truly clean pure money that is incorruptible unlike bitcoin.
