I was reading through chia coin channels today and I saw something so confusing and hard to believe, chia coin owner is the same man behind bittorrent project but why named him the best network protocol engineer alive? Is this true?

Bram Cohen?  ;D ;D ;D he is just doing what everyone would do, hype themselves, if you are in his shoe would you write something bad about yourself? Of cos not so just know that he wrote that himself 🤣

Everyone can claim be everything on the internet so statements like that have zero value. There is no official and acknowledged world wide ranking of network engineers which means there can't be a official no.1.  I mean if he invented bitTorrent than he probably has some coding skills but i am pretty sure that does not make him the best network protocol engineer alive  :). I usually avoid projects that are throwing around with such bold and unprovable statements because i don't want to see something like that from a serious project. Chia is a serious project though and already listed on big exchanges like huobi and okex so it's definitely an interesting project.

How good have bittorrent project been so far? It's not even one of the most profitable coins of 2021, now we have chia a coin that claimed to be green energy efficiency but complete lie, there is nothing green about this project, anyways it doesn't matter where you getting your cakes from, all that matter is making profits

wow, i can't say that he is really the best in the industry because we've got alot of anonymous and unknown developers so how would they present this unknown guy to me as the best in the industry ? Lmao. I think that they are manipulating things in order to create hype for both projects.

Best network protocol engineer my foot, if he can call himself this I wonder what we will call Satoshi Nakamoto and Vitalik buterin, it sounds like a show off to many, there are many blockchain experts out there that the world doesn't even know much about lol

LMAO  :D :D :D :D

Okay, i wanna call this as the most funnies thing in the crypto history. Bittorrent is just another ordinaryproject in crypto and there's no something special with it. Claimed to be the best network protocol enginer is just a boomerang for chia coin. This will become another garbage project for sure.

limited to an acknowledgment of what he thought might be appropriate for him to be called an engineer. I can also claim it as anything if I want, because it doesn't have to have legality if it is only given to the public to attract the interest of many investors. and what Bram Cohen has to say will not impress us. To be honest, ever since Chia was launched, I already knew it had great potential in the future, therefore, I tried to hold onto it quite a lot. to prove my belief based on the analysis that has been done by many people.

I’m not familiar with that man but claiming to be the best network protocol alive in this market is a pure hype for me and this project might end badly so better not to invest easily. Also, in this market anyone can claim to be the best, but you have to know if they are telling the truth by doing your best to analyze the project and its concept, if its too good to be true, stay away.

At least he tried, there are hundreds of useless developers in crypto space that did nothing but rob innocent people of their hard-earned cash, this man did nothing wrong but praising himself, give him some room to breath atleast LOL :D

Proof of Work or PoW(always sounds like the more proper and general name for lots of consensus mechanisms I have heard of or seen in Crypto space. "You use your equipments/skills to participate in network consensus and get rewarded... You prove you did a good job(evidence based) and you get rewarded/rated" (Proof of Work). Now you are required to prove you own certain amount of things to take part in consensus yet it's called a consensus mechanism.
Will hopefully read about this project to see whether it really worth the publicity it gets.

That highlight.  ;D

Whether he has made Bittorrent and sold it to Justin Sun, it doesn't matter. There really are developers who keeps jumping on new ventures and they're the ones who wants to develop new things.

But that highlight really catches everyone's attention as if he's the only alive as the best.  :P

Instead on getting good sentiments or feedbacks or appreciations, it did rather turn out to gain up some hate and criticism.
Its true that anyone could claim up things on whats up into their minds and the community would be the one
will really see if this one turns out to be exaggerated or not.

Dont get easily make yourself believe on things.

Nah, everyone is obviously trying to hype their projects so regardless if this is true or not, it won't have any bearing as least for me. I always look at the project first and see it's potential and what it can bring to the already congested crypto market. Someone can developed anything and that person can be no name or already established his/her reputation. The big question is, how is the project? any real life usage that anyone can pick up and used it? Bill Gates developed MicroSoft, but is he the best software engineer alive?

If you don't hype your platform or project, no one will do so for you, that is to say, you need to say and do whatever it takes to create hype within your project. Looking at that whitepaper or post, the team knew exactly what they are doing and they knows that, once the information is channeled through the right path, it creates hype which in turn leads to price increase of their token.
Answering your question, of course it is not true as there are experts before him but owing to the significance of what is on ground, the needful was done. The Bittorrent he contributed to its growth, where is it now?. Not much is being heard about it.
Lastly, if you are investing in such projects, although it might look good at what the team offers but yet doing your due diligence and investing with what you can afford to lose is the best way to go about crypto investing.

I don’t see any credibility on that one and As I remember he has a bad reputation already and the highlight really made my day as well, that could be a life changing project but in reality, that’s too good for the offer. Developers will always hype their project and even create a battalion just to spread the words but that should not be your basis before investing, you must read every details and if you see that kind of statement, think again.

I don't think it's true because the experts must have researched it before.. but considering this is the crypto world... You must be prepared if you have to lose your investment...

There's no doubt.

Who's going to hype their project at first? well, it's the developers themselves. They're the first to know about it and they're the first to show it to the public.

And as usual, they'll tell beautiful things and how good it is and will describe themselves the same.

 :)Money makes money. Interesting news. We must see the chia went up again. With a friend, I thought to install a farm, but that equipment is now very expensive.

Was it self-proclaimed?  I think it is just a marketing strategy, unless that guy is truly acknowledged by the responsible institution and had given that title, those words are probably unfounded.  Anyway, this is created to hype their project. Even though their project sounds unique, it is not the first one that utilizes disk storage in the blockchain industry.
