As technical as bitcoins seem- at least to me- most on here seem to get it. What are some of your backgrounds?

Other - Physics here. You could have at least put 'Science' as an option!

If I've said anything amusing and/or informative and you're feeling generous:

Oh actually that falls in "Computer Self-Learner". I know a lot of people who do this as well. Before starting college I was one also.

I knew that Physics would be one of those majors. I thought that science was too broad given the topic- understanding of bitcoins and computers. Physics would fall into Engineering- lol please don't hate me for saying this, as an Engineering student, I know of the feud between our majors at least at my school- that's why I didn't include it.

That's cool, I studied political science and anthropology before international relations, history, and world languages.

Yeah, it was something I was interested in at that age. I had fairly wealthy parents and could afford to throw away my youth studying something that's completely worthless in the free market. I'm qualified to teach others to be equally worthless or sell insurance for Allstate. lol

I did get to work briefly as an intern for Alan Cranston. That's where I learned about the polluted, corrupt and disgusting nest of vultures infecting the US government. I'm absolutely convinced everyone in the US federal government should be imprisoned for their actions as supposed representatives of democracy.

Never believed in educational system. Old geezers deciding who gets scholarship. Unfair grading system. Racial bias. Corruption.

I find that system broken. Of course, you are a much better person by going through those loops, but I could not force myself to do that.

The education system need a revolution because that's really detached from the society, you know , it makes no sense to pay for a degree if half of the curriculum vitae is irrelevant to your job duties.
