Title: If Andreas Antonopoulos thought an altcoin was "fascinating", would you listen?

Just curious what your reaction would be.

Would you care?

Would you want to know what that coin was?

Would you purposefully avoid that coin?

I don't believe his ability to drive the market demand is very large, so my reaction would be very limited.

Yes.

The guy is brilliant, I'd like to hear his take on NXT.

If they truly end up thinking the MYR algorithm approach is THAT interesting and game-changing/necessary, they will work to incorporate it into BTC. Sorry.

I suspect that I already know his answer, but yes it would be interesting to have confirmation.

It remains to be seen if it is, but I think changing bitcoin into a multi-algo blockchain would be incredibly difficult. Any coin for that matter. You would need to add one algo at a time and hope nothing goes wrong.

I would research it. Never follow anyone blindly. Even Andreas Antonopolus
