 ::) really?

The inventor of the cryptographic tool at the heart of all blockchain technology has spent the last decade or so working in the fields of quantum computers and molecular printing to make technology that can fight disease and prolong human life.

I am not sure humans can live beyond 120 years...

This is what I fear from the people who have the mind to shape new technologies. But by doing that sometimes they go beyond that, far beyond.
I totally do not want to be controlled by any DAO.

I already have to think about GOD  ;)

He'll find a way to prolong life, but then realize there's a recursive DNA replication error that happens after 110 years. He hopes to 'soft fork' it out and make it so just your hands and feet fall off. Which I guess is better than being totally dead, but marginally so. He'll then suggest a 'hard fork' that will take back any life granted to those that took his flawed implementation, to redistribute it to people who deserve the patched version.

I keep seeing more and more projects that are focused on concepts I do not seeing coming into reality in my lifetime. Bitcoin is working.

Your paragraph reminded me two things:
The end of The Matrix movie when Neo destroys Smith and then the game starts again (as the Architect was talking about a game with different versions)
and
Brave new World by Huxley where the story is presented asi if to give a "happy" life to humans this must be manipulated.

Well this is what this DAO concept stands for

no thanks

The next in centralized gobbledegook coins is "Urbit". Where they outline their central computing-esque token in such grand pat-yourself-on-the-back terminology, it makes the Swift whitepaper from Apple seem humble. I don't know what programmers are taking nowadays, but I think the "nootropics" are starting to really inflate some egos out there.

Oh, and don't EVER have a language introduction without a 'hello world' example. Its just common fucking courtesy to show people how you do some simple things in your oh-so-amazing-language. Sure, there's plenty of "foo" and "bar" to cover a large buffet table, but once you dive in the the docs its a convoluted garbage pile of new 'verbs' and 'nouns'.

Fucking spare me. People are so interested in waving their e-penis around, they don't bother to get to the point, which is FUNCTIONALITY.

Yes, it is hard to accept for the big boys out there that, so far, the only actual Blockchain technology whihc is working without stopping since 2009 is...

DAO, ETH and company have a long way to the top.
