Title: Another fan of Bitcoin, DOMINIC FRISBY
Post by: Vladimir on March 24, 2013, 12:02:06 PM
DOMINIC FRISBY  (http://dominicfrisby.com/about-me) told Max Keyser (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0-c_3EKKzM in the very end) that he is a big fan of Bitcoin even though he does not quite understand it completely just yet.

Aparently Dominic is a gold bug.  Here are some of his youtube videos  worth watching IMO

Bitcoin is getting more and more endorsements from all kinds of high profile personalities. This cannot be a bad thing.

Frisby is a great example of someone who unfortunately doesn't seem to have the intellectual capacity to understand the math/crypto underlying Bitcoin.  he clearly can understand the simplistic concepts behind gold which we all do.

but he's making the common mistake of demanding thorough and complete comprehension of Bitcoin which by now seems he will never get; or at least if he does, it will be too late.

lol just because someone doesn't understand maths or cryptography doesn't mean they're stupid cypherdoc, I'm a classic case of school education doing a shitty job and not bothering to teach me the basics in life never mind cryptography, you'll also find there will be scientists and economists out there who don't understand cryptography because it seems to be pretty specialised piece of math. The one thing I do know though is that if Bitcoin wasn't open source, I would have never have gotten involved in it, let alone support it, because I know open source is one of the most honest ways to distribute a piece of code out there and the original developer wouldn't be able to completely control it. I may not be able to look at the code and understand it but I know there will be someone out there that can and as we have seen with the hard fork problems people will point it out and it will either get fixed or a better alternative will be made.
