I’m far more selfish, I would just like to hear amateur investors stop talking about it. I’d really like for people to stop suggesting a database (blockchain) will fix any problem, even when problems are explicitly not database issues. I think we’re well past either of those things being possibilities though.

cryptocurrency proponents often discuss how manipulated and encumbered with politics normal fiat currencies are, but they don't seem to mind the obvious nation-state-level manipulation of BTC's price shrug

If Silicon Valley was filmed today, their disrupt parody would include “we’re making a world a better place by using blockchain for database”, instead of Paxos (https://youtu.be/B8C5sjjhsso)

I'm developing a blockchain to block these people using sustainable AI. Want to get in on the initial coin offering?
