Milk Sad: Weak Entropy in libbitcoin (bc) seed generation
Last release 2019, master branch marked as non-functional. Doesn't seem to be very active. Their homepage https://libbitcoin.info/ looks polished, but no signs of recent life. This vulnerability seems unmentioned. Well, they claim it's not a vulnerability but a demo implementation that should not be used to store anything of value. But there is no prominent note about that and some users did exactly that.

- The biggest scam is the government thinking we need them for money. Separation of church and state exists why not separation of money and state for a even less corrupt world?
- Why would any normal person adopt Bitcoin?

Help me understand using go libraries btcd/btcec, btcd/btcutil
For the Go code, I modified the code I found online to be able to generate P2PKH address, I believe. I am having a tough time navigating the plethora of functions defined here. I've also looked at the address_test.go to understand if I could get some clue, but I'm having trouble figuring out the intermediate conversions done to the Private Key hex like btcutil.NewAddressPubKeyHash(pkHash, &chaincfg.MainNetParams).

Is Bitcoin the best at anything? Anonymity? Security? Transaction cost? Transaction speed? Etc.
Anyone. Also, there isn't just one implementation of Bitcoin. There are several implementations of the protocol in different programming languages, but they all stick to the same rules. btcd for example is written in Go, while Haskoin is written in Haskell.
