|| Take all that together with the fact that Bitcoin's consensus convergence depends either on all payees choosing to employ the same Longest Chain Wins judgement The distinction is that that there is no way to verify from the block chain whether every payee did employ the Monte Carlo judgement. Thus there is no Nash equilibrium. Kaboom! Hasn't Selfish Mining proved that Longest Chain Wins is not a Nash equilibrium? No. Because anyone who has greater than 33% of the hashrate must employ the Selfish Mining as their optimum strategy and everyone else must mine on the visible longest chains as theirs. The Nash equilibrium does have a long-term failure as economies-of-scale centralization, but that is an orthogonal issue. The problem with a DAG is no one can know the optimum strategy of the other participants and even which strategy they employed. Or at least not until you can show mathematically that no other strategies than following the Monte Carlo is profitable. The Monte Carlo is only the most profitable IF everyone else is also following it. That conditional "IF" doesn't apply in the LCR. That is the key distinction that makes a DAG fatally flawed. |

You must have realized this AFTER iotatoken turned down your offer of collaboration, surely.
Ah you are referring to when I first landed in Iota's ICO thread last year and I was initially interested in the technology, not having understood yet the insoluble flaws in it. And a comment I made publicly asking if they (iotatoken and CfB) might want to collaborate, not yet knowing about the ICO/Jinn stuff and also not having any idea who David is or even CfB's background of creating Nxt. Obviously I was eventually educated as to the relevant facts. Is that the way you n00bs analyze by pulling some random post out-of-context of the entire story. Pitiful you. Do you know that I shoot myself in the foot by criticizing Iota because one of my angel investors bought the Iota ICO and is looking to reinvest the profits with me, should I need more cash before completing my project. In fact, my angel investor is the one who asked me to go evaluate Iota. |

Notwithstanding the bickering here which the users (and even most investors in a big success) of a CC are never going to read, the bottom line is which aspects are required for a CC to scale up and compete with or overrun Bitcoin? I am of the opinion that there is really no benefit to exerting great effort to try to stop P&Ds of CCs which are going no where, e.g. Dash and Ethereum. My goal has been to primarily to make sure that the technological issues have been properly documented; and this was mostly for myself, to make sure I don't make the same technological mistakes on my coin. Notice I've given up trying to comment in every Ethereum thread, because I've realized that gamblers love P&Ds and there is nothing I can or should do to fix the Gambler's Fallacy psychosis/addiction. I will posit that the breadth of the initial distribution of the coin is critical, because CC is not a widely used unit-of-account (i.e. chicken-or-egg dilemma) thus the HODLers are not going to be reinvesting their CC in new ventures and thus the CC won't redistribute out to employees of new ventures and thus the CC will become stagnant. With a great majority of the coins held and not recirculating, then the network effects will be limited to arbitrage opportunity cost, e.g. blowing bubbles in other altcoins. None of this will ignite a mass user ecosystem. So it really doesn't matter if the lead developers find some way to mine 1% of the coins to reward themselves, if the other 99% of the coins are more widely distributed amongst those who will circulate them (and not just dump to HODLers as was the case for Auroracoin), than is the case for Bitcoin. Such an ideal distribution will run gangbusters over everything else. Of course if the insiders take double-digit percentages of the coins, then they have defeated their own long-term investment in network effects and thus should not be taken seriously. The problem with PoW coins distributed up to now, is they are not widely distributed amongst the ultimate users of a CC, which is why they haven't been able to gain sufficient network effects to challenge Bitcoin. This will be the single most critical trait of a CC that will overtake Bitcoin, bar none. I am literally opening my playbook for you. Other than distribution, the other key aspect is whether the economic structure of the consensus algorithm can remain decentralized as the use of the currency scales up. So far, no CC has solved this dilemma. And then I would posit that until you solve instant secure confirmations (which Iota doesn't have), you'll not be able to employ the CC in the markets where credit cards can't compete well. Take all that together with the fact that Iota's consensus convergence depends either on all payees choosing to employ the same Monte Carlo judgement (which they are not required to do by the game theory) or on centralized servers with more PoW hashrate than the attackers, then for me Iota is doomed. But don't expect me to waste my time repeating it and trying to cure the Gambler's Fallacy. CfB and iotatoken have a right to extract from that phenomenon, but I just hope for their own sake they are aware of the laws that regulate them even though I'd prefer there are no such laws. |

Apologies to spam the Altcoin Discussion forum with a locked thread. I just wanted to publicly thank rangedriver for advising me to take Oregano oil as an anti-fungal, based on the theory that my chronic illness may be (perhaps among other problems) a chronic candida (i.e. fungal and also bad bacteria such as E. coli) infection perhaps especially in my digestive tract below the stomach. I started this Oregano oil (and also bentonite clay) this afternoon for the first time, and I immediately fell asleep for 7 hours. I woke up to take it again, then woke again later to eat, and now I am still sleepy and preparing to sleep more hours. I had been having insomnia or limited hours of sleep, so this is an initially positive reaction. Let's see if it sustains. Also immediately the sore on my tongue and the red splotches on my face dissipated. Also my face has instantly become oily again as it was when younger, not dry and flaky as it had been lately. Oregano oil is even supposedly effective against chronic Giardia. I discovered a new theory as to why the overload of meats back in April and May may have caused me to become so ill the remainder of 2015. Apparently meats raise the ammonia level, which is a very friendly pH level for bad bacteria and fungal infections to proliferate. But also replacing it with carbohydrates feeds the bad parasites. And eating only vegetables starves the body. So you really need an anti-fungal and anti-bacterial to combat the problem in conjunction with a moderation of the quantity and type of meats and carbos. I've read that these parasites release toxins into the body which can explain many of the strange inflammation auto-immunity symptoms I've been experiencing. I also started a prostate supplement, which contains Saw Palmetto, Lycophene, Selenium, Phytosterols, flower pollen, and others. I am also continuing my multi-herbal tea (tastes and looks like Robitussin cough syrup) and vitamin D3. Eating broccoli, organic eggs, tuna soup, and oatmeal. P.S. I had been told by a doctor (who is not specialized in this area) that I wouldn't likely have a fungal infection, because my heart rate would be elevated. I now think that is a possible symptom but perhaps not every person with a fungal infection has that symptom. Edit: woke up 4am after additional 5 hours sleep, so that makes 12 hours sleep yesterday afternoon and night. That is the most I've slept in a long time and it mimicks what happened in Oct. 2012, when I went to Subic and slept continuously for roughly 3 days and thought I was cured (but the bad symptoms returned when I returned to Davao). I could sleep more now, but I wanted to wake up to take the supplements, wait, eat, and probably work. |

Bitcoin maximalists, I salute you: Piece of Shit Bitcoiners et al. Hall of Fame ...
Excellent Doxx'ing, Gleb. It pains my eyes to see so many knucklefucks lined up in a row, but there you have it.
You forgot: Satoshi Nakamoto ("Bitcoin is debased less than gold!" lie) Satoshi Nakamoto ("Bitcoin is decentralized" lie) In case nb00bs haven't noticed, all during Bitcon's current life it has been double-digit debased which transfers to Chinese miners who control 67% of the hashrate (who have already 51% attacked disallowing any block size increase) and who have $50 per BTC costs and dump the coins at huge profits to siphon our Libertarian capital away to China's Communism. And then there is Larry Summers, Blythe Masters et al gunning for their share of our ass raping with 21 Inc, etc.. |

Could not stand high school geometry class, did no homework, then did the entire year (or half year, can't recall) the last day of class and turned it in.
Ditto. At university, I typically showed up for tests (unless there was material presented in class that wasn't in the textbook) studying and do the problem sets the night before. This freed up a lot of time to delve into other interests. However, I don't possess a flawless long-term memory. That caused me to struggle with Chemistry II, since I delayed it until a year after taking Chemistry I. At L.S.U. for Chemistry I, I placed in I afair in the top 5 out of a couple hundred students in 3 sections. I went through severe depression (culture and climate shock from leaving California, as well as no family visits nor communication) that caused me to drop out of L.S.U. after the first year and restart my studies in California (where I graduated from High School), so perhaps that emotional stress caused to forget everything about Chemistry I. |

Does anyone else find it curious that nearly all the accounts posting in support of IOTA and that expressed interest on the IOTA crowdsale thread were created at the same time, shortly after the Nxt launch, and many of them show the same long period of inactivity from 2014 until IOTA ? Smooth shame on you for hiring Sherlock Holmes. |

Nice to finally see someone that cares about scaling issues. I almost thought David is the only person that cares about that.
And since he cares about that he doesn't bloat the blockchain with markets.
No vetted white paper, means selling snake oil. Bitbays Decentralized markets have worked in BitBay and Halo for over a year but were "in beta" to iron out bugs etc.
That isn't scaling. When n00bs such as you don't even comprehend the meaning of the word 'scaling', then what is the point of me even trying to explain. |

Here we go Ethereum Paradox again! BitBay is technobabble complexity (feature after unvetted feature being promised) without first explaining how they solve the scaling problem of a block chain.
PoShit consensus again.
Another child prodigy genius claim (Zimbeck redux of Vitalik).
None of these shitcoins are going to scale and remain decentralized.
These are just P&Ds.
The truth I am stating won't be vindicated until perhaps another year or two hence. So enjoy yourselves.

TPTB needs publicity, not VB
Illogical. I need publicity within the crypto currency arena, like I need a hole in my head (and I already have one of those). The only way my project will succeed is by NOT mentioning there is any plan B to involve a crypto currency to the initial target audience. My project is not primarily about crypto currency. Rather it is about trying to make a unicorn startup in the social networking realm. You need early adopters, (VB already has his), that was my point. I think your strategy to keep the crypto element on a 'need to know' basis is wise, Jo Six-pack doesn't care how his sausage is made, he just wants flavor The deleted reply was moved to my project's thread. Since your and other posts in this thread accusing me of preying on Vitalik's fame require my response. If the mod is not going to delete every such accusation in this thread, then I have the right to respond to the accusation. I have moved that response to my project's thread so as to not clutter this thread. |

I think your strategy to keep the crypto element on a 'need to know' basis is wise, Jo Six-pack doesn't care how his sausage is made, he just wants flavor ... And you need some ex Goldman Sachs guys + great shiny marketing. My social network will be primarily using Paypal, because Western users have credit cards, not crypto-currency. My early adopters will be the crowdfunders who want my social network to succeed for ideological reasons. Diaspora raised $200k via crowdfund and I believe my logo and Mission Statement is far more detailed and superior to Diasporas. My IPO (not for coins but for shares in my company) will probably go through Seedr after raising the money for the initial prototype via crowdfunding. Thus my funding and early adoption will have nothing to do with any crypto-currency, at least as far as the early users and investors are aware of. The crypto-currency will be a mostly invisible thing that will happen in order to monetize those users who don't have a credit card, i.e. the billions of unbanked in the developing world many of whom who do indeed use a smart phone but don't have a bank account. I only need speculators to provide an exchange price for these tokens. And I expect most musicians and game developers (the creators) to HODL the tokens while taking their cash flow from the Paypal microtransaction revenue.\ Note what I am actually attempting is to disrupt even the native mobile APIs and playstores. I am trying to disrupt all the centralized platforms that are strangling the internet and enabling corruption such as the following: Mission StatementWe are building the open source protocol, application programming interfaces (APIs), and backbone implementation for a “write once, run everywhere” App ecosystem and “web browser” that decentralizes widescale social distribution and networking— to enable the degrees-of-freedom for users to take back control of the Internet, their data, privacy, and individualized software choices. We will at least from the inception revolutionize indie music distribution and monetization, App gamification monetization, and work towards replacing email with a more efficient enriched messaging. The users will simply install our platform App which the user perceives to be a social network enabling music, games, and other activities— a new “web browser”. Our plan is ambitious; so we need your support and the community buzz to help us find and recruit the best and brightest developers in addition to our lead Shelby Moore III[1]. Disrupt Behemoth ControlOur mission is to apply Clayton Christensen’s broad theory of disruption. The Internet has fallen into a power vacuum dilemma wherein many of the desired activities favor the synergies offered by the social and distribution networks with the most users. Vested interests of these behemoths require them to not always act in the best interest of the users. Scrappy alternatives which have fewer vested interests, often can’t offer sufficient synergies. Instead of competing with each other, the few behemoths may have incentive to conspire with each other and the corruptible in government[A], so that users have no alternative with sufficient synergy that maximizes the users’ best interest. We will enumerate some specific grievances later in this document. My plan is so much more (mass-adoption focused) ambitious than anything that has been attempted so far in crypto. I don't need any vulture capitalists, nor investment bankers (at least not until trying to list the shares on a major stock exchange if that ever happens). The logo for the 6 letter .org domain name is basically done and I am pleased. Working on a second alternative for the logo. I want the crowdfunders to tell me which logo they prefer. Btw, I paid $500+ for the .org domain name. The .net and .com are for sale in the $50,000 - 100,000 asking price range. I don't really need the .net and .com (not at the start at least), but I do need them to be expensive enough that no one else will buy them. There was some confusion about the logo from those who gave me private feedback because they thought the use of neon light for a portion of the text might be perceived as non-serious by crowdfunders, investors, and creators. I asked that person to ask his teenage kids which version of the logo they preferred and I was correct that the neon was preferred. Our target audience likes color, just go view the clothing of those youth in the video for Psy's "Gangnam Style" music video. Look at the pastel colors of the homes throughout Latin America. My greatest challenge remains my health. I have made some improvement with this multiple herbs (boiled leaves) and cutting out cooking oil and grains other than oatmeal from my diet. My energy has been reasonably consistent, my brain fog has been much more infrequent, and so my productivity has been good past weeks since I made this change. I've been trying to increase my exercise because my testosterone is so damn low because I rarely get an erection and I can't hold an erection. And this is reflected in weakness and leg pain in my hamstrings. I think this may be because I had cut out all cholesterol meats after getting such horrible symptoms last summer (and the subsequent 10 day water-only fasting in August which seemed to make matters worse). Yesterday I ate 5 eggs and breast meat chicken and I got an erection, was able to do some 80m sprints with power in my legs, and did some barbel (twice in one day) and ran 2kms. But then just now at 1am, I woke up after only 5 hours sleep, after being awake 24 hours yesterday, after 4 hours sleep the prior day. So I still am having issues. And I am experiencing extremely blurry or double-vision right now. It is very frustrating because I want to work at full productivity and I need this health crap out of my way. It seems this is a complex health problem that I can't realistically diagnose and cure immediately (will require a long process and relocating to a country with tropical disease, peripheral neuropathy, and internal GI tract related autoimmunity experts). I would estimate my productivity has risen from a low of about 5 - 10% of my normal in 2nd half of 2015, to perhaps about 33 - 50% now. Which is much better and I am not totally displeased. But I don't know if 1/3 or 1/2 of one man is enough to get my project done. To battle this on top of turning 51 in June. I am hopeful I can find a developer who is at my level to join with me. And someone who is not from the finance industry (otherwise I'd be recruiting smooth, but I don't like how he spends his time in the Aeon thread talking about centralized exchanges issues, which is entirely irrelevant for the type of focus I need for my project ... he just comes from a different realm in software ... my impression is that smooth is more than technically qualified and quite intelligent). While searching for a logo designer, I found a female programmer in India who had already been the sole lead developer on an Android app for aviation. She is willing to join for $12k annually and has a masters and PhD in computer science. But I just don't know if that will suck more time than it will add in productivity. Was able to converse with her reasonably well verbally, much better than the heavy accent of some Indian males which I can't understand well. Any way I fight on. I'll be going on vacation to Subic during the 2nd week of May. I am hoping to do nothing but gym rat (younger bodybuilder type foreigners there motivate me), beach, sleep, and eat different food than I can get here in Davao. Back in Oct 2012, that had seemed to cure me entirely until I returned to Davao and all my horrible symptoms returned. So I am hoping for that magic result again. I don't know what else to do, but push on with what I have to work within. Edit: interestingly 21 Inc is trying to accomplish what I am working on, but they will never get there and I will, because they don't understand that the internet is social and payments will be for gamification so the payments will not be via the browser or wallet but seamless inside of Apps in a social context. Their non-integrated approach will not accomplish the necessary result: https://www.coingecko.com/buzz/21-inc-bitcoin-computer-change-internethttps://www.coingecko.com/buzz/fred-ehrsam-bitcoin-remove-ads-spam-from-internetYou must listen to this!

In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted. Since I have received questions in PMs, I want to make it clear I am not raising money in exchange for any crypto-currency tokens. There will be no ICO. I am not marketing tokens to investors. I am not promoting tokens here. I will not announce tokens any where. Any crypto-currency tokens (if ever) will be distributed for the use case of monetizing payments in the social and distribution network. I make no statements nor promotion about the value of the tokens, nor will I facilitate speculators obtaining tokens.
I am attempting to create a real software startup with a profitable business model that has unicorn potential, and will crowdfund to have the necessary resources to complete a prototype, then after launching prototype raise more money via Seedr in order to have the best team.

My plan is so much more (mass-adoption focused) ambitious than anything that has been attempted so far in crypto [...] Please note I added an introduction to the Mission Statement in the prior post as quoted above. Hopefully this better tl;dr explains how ambitious this goal is. I feel so much better when I supplement my testosterone (or is it nitrogen supplementation?). I took Robust (which claims to also promote testosterone, but also apparently has unlisted ingredient which is an analog of Cialis) this evening and it is as if most of my symptoms temporarily disappear or improve when I take that. But the effect is ephemeral. At least I can supplement a once or twice a week, to make it sure I have a couple of very normal and strong coding days per week. At least until I can have the funds and free time to go through the time sucking rigmarole with Western medicine experts (i.e. see primary care doctors first, battery of testing, before being referred to experts then trial & error to happenstance on an expert who can actually diagnose my mystery illness). Edit: on my health, two interesting tidbits I just discovered; and given that the only abnormal result of my recent ultrasound and lab work was an enlarged prostate: Reversal of benign prostate hyperplasia by selective occlusion of impaired venous drainage in the male reproductive system: novel mechanism, new treatment.
clinically manifested as varicocele
We have found that free testosterone levels in this blood are markedly elevated, with a concentration of some 130-fold above serum level.
FDA approved tadalafil to treat the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
Tadalafil inhibits PDE11 more than sildenafil or vardenafil.[7] PDE11 is expressed in skeletal muscle, the prostate, the liver, the kidney, the pituitary gland, and the testes.
And then note this and that I have Fordyce's angiokeratomas on my scrotum: A varicocele is an abnormal enlargement of the pampiniform venous plexus in the scrotum. This plexus of veins drains the testicles. The testicular blood vessels originate in the abdomen and course down through the inguinal canal as part of the spermatic cord on their way to the testis. Upward flow of blood in the veins is ensured by small one-way valves that prevent backflow. Defective valves, or compression of the vein by a nearby structure, can cause dilatation of the testicular veins near the testis, leading to the formation of a varicocele. Varicocele is known as one of the main causes for male infertility and can be treated by a surgery or non-surgical treatments.
Etiology. The exact cause is unknown. Some experts regard the lesion as a degenerative disorder.6 Local venous hypertension might play a causative role given that the condition is more common in patients with coexisting varicocele, hydrocele, inguinal hernia, benign prostatic hypertrophy, or hemorrhoid.7 Agger and Osmundsen8 reported regression of angiokeratomas of the scrotum in a patient after surgical treatment of a coexisting varicocele. However, Orvieto and colleagues9 found no association between varicocele and angiokeratoma of the scrotum.
Seems plausible that since the spermatic cord (tube) from the testicles runs upward into the bottom of the abdomen (just above the bladder) before descending back down to the prostate (to prevent back flow), then if my prostate is blocked causing too much back pressure, then this could explain the varicose veins in the scrotum and also plausibility explain inflammation and dysfunction in the abdomen? Or perhaps the symptoms in my abdomen are a separate issue, maybe related or not. Since this would be elevating with the localized testosterone levels (not serum throughout the body), perhaps it is causing some hormonal and enzyme dysbiosys cascade. The active ingredient in Cialis (also apparently hidden in Robust) would I suppose relax the muscles in the prostate perhaps relieving some of the back pressure. Also the varicocele (had the Fordyce's angiokeratomas before May 2012) may have been worsened by my acute peptic ulcer hospitalization in May 2012, wherein I was told my bloated abdomen was due to acid leaking into my abdominal cavity and causing my organs to tear. I remember after I was discharged, I developed pain in my pelvis as if I had a UTI. Note I think varicose veins are hereditary on my mother's side of the family. My grandmother had peripheral neuropathy, vulgar varicose veins in her feet, and Rosacea. Edit#2: The study found that in men older than 44, tadalafil had no significant affect on sperm concentration, morphology or motility nor had any affect on investigated hormone levels of testosterone, LH or FSH. It can be surmised that the affect of PDE11 inhibition, if any, by this medication was not detected or significant.
Edit#3: I just checked and my Fordyce's angiokeratomas is significantly reduced. For the moment it looks like this:  And before it looked like this:  Edit#5: the mod deleted the post I made about Vitalik's genius.

[...]
VB's body and hand/body language looks like he has no testosterone
Example of the first and why the masculinity matters for being a genius: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1409663.msg14308301#msg14308301That betamales are misidentifying genius with a female body language says heaps about the brain damage ostensibly feminism has done to (some of) the Western young men.
Since 1983, the study has tracked a group of several hundred students who, before the age of 13, scored at least 700 on the math SAT or 630 on the verbal—scores that only 1 in 10,000 children that age attain. Those students, now in their early 40s, have filed regular reports on their intellectual and professional development for decades. They're pretty developed: Some 44% of them have doctoral degrees (only 2% of the general population does); their median income was $80,000, about twice the U.S. average for people their age
Most child prodigies are highly successful—but most highly successful people weren't child prodigies.
This can be a hard lesson for the prodigies themselves. It is natural to believe that the just-pubescent children on the mathletic podium next to you are the best, the ones who really matter. And for the most part, my fellow child stars and I have done very well. But the older I get, the more I see how many brilliant people in the world weren't Doogie Howser-like prodigies; didn't shine in Math Olympiad; didn't go to the inner circle of elite colleges. I'm embarrassed that I didn't understand at 13 that it would be this way. But when they keep telling you you're the best, you start to believe you're the best.
Btw, the following essay explains well my experience with many n00bs on this forum. I have tested > 140 IQ twice on some tests but lower (high 120s to 130s) on other tests. I don't have the score from the only formally administered IQ test I received in elementary school. But from what my mom said, I can correlate my SAT scores to an IQ that is roughly the same ballpark around 130, but note I showed up with a hangover to take the SAT, I didn't study for it at all, and I was clearly more accomplished in mental creativity than my best friend who studied for it and scored a 100 points higher than me. I generally don't perform well on tests that attempt to test skills that I am not interested in, such as puzzles that have no purpose. I am a very purpose driven thinker. I want to explore my imagination to solve problems or challenges that are important to me. If I try to motivate myself to become interested in solving puzzles that I am not really interested in by imagining that the ability to untwist their structure in my mind enables me to solve some other problems I am interested in, then my (especially timed) performance increases. What I have noticed is that I have 2 gears. When I am very motivated, I engage the hyperthinking gear, then my IQ is higher. It also seems to correlate with my energy level and my physical health, because I consume a lot more energy in hyperthinking gear. I don't know if any others have experienced this phenomenon? https://robertlindsay.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/why-you-dont-want-to-be-a-genius/What has been particularly debilitating about my illness is it impacts the energy I am able to extract from food. When I do my best work, I need to consume a lot of calories and fat, but my illness seems to worsen when I do that. Being energy limited, has limited how much hyperthinking mode I can employ lately. I remembered that my ACT which I took when I was sober (but still didn't study for it) over the summer between high school and college (as it was a requirement for L.S.U.) corresponded to 100 points higher than my SAT, so that was another confirmation that my IQ is in the 130s. I think my "g" is some where between 125 - 135 and I note my verbal scores are significantly lower (just above average in high 80s percentile) than my math (98 - 99+% percentile). But I think when it comes to creativity and the ability to conceptually abstract a problem or issue, my IQ is higher. |

VB's body and hand/body language looks like he has no testosterone
Example of the first and why the masculinity matters for being a genius: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1409663.msg14308301#msg14308301That betamales are misidentifying genius with a female body language says heaps about the brain damage ostensibly feminism has done to (some of) the Western young men.
Since 1983, the study has tracked a group of several hundred students who, before the age of 13, scored at least 700 on the math SAT or 630 on the verbal—scores that only 1 in 10,000 children that age attain. Those students, now in their early 40s, have filed regular reports on their intellectual and professional development for decades. They're pretty developed: Some 44% of them have doctoral degrees (only 2% of the general population does); their median income was $80,000, about twice the U.S. average for people their age
Most child prodigies are highly successful—but most highly successful people weren't child prodigies.
This can be a hard lesson for the prodigies themselves. It is natural to believe that the just-pubescent children on the mathletic podium next to you are the best, the ones who really matter. And for the most part, my fellow child stars and I have done very well. But the older I get, the more I see how many brilliant people in the world weren't Doogie Howser-like prodigies; didn't shine in Math Olympiad; didn't go to the inner circle of elite colleges.

Safenet? [...] then most likely that is the place many will go
I have no idea why you would think that about yet another copycoin. |

It is hilarious to see Peter Thiel, Larry Summers, Blythe Masters and their gang of thugs trying to compete in hi-tech where they are not sufficiently knowledgeable to know whether the BS they are told by the geeks they hire is valid. I think it is about time to wipe their corrupt asses with the technological floor. It required 3 years of research to become deeply knowledgeable about block chain technological and economic issues. You can't just scratch the surface and expect to not make dumb mistakes. |
