I also think that the mad gold rush has the potential to turn off those who would build the real ecosystem, small pieces of useful, reusable smart-contract code at a time.

My friend, we are living in the Age of Complexity. Do you see ANY aspect of our lives that is getting simpler?

What sort of monster are you, depriving the world of delicious chocolate?!
