Yes, and striving to better technology, even if it is fueled by the greed and the bitcoin craze. Actually this is the perfect time for growth. And even though we look for life on other planets I never see any conclusion to the footage of the aliens by the United States. It drowned in Trump-mess. If we know there is life, the uncertainty would cease. And we can focus on what we actually do not know, are there any other means of communication than light, sound, radio and radiation?
The cool thing about blockchain tech is that there will be byproducts, and the byproducts might open up to some new science. How will Satoshi be remembered in the future, like some guy who created a currency or some guy that developed a new science.
Very exciting futures ahead!
