Perfection can't be reached, I can optimize the code indefinitely.
Don't go mad now
some percent of double-spendings can be tolerated if we save a lot of resources by allowing this. Every day new counterfeit dollars appear in the streets but Earth doesn't stop spinning.
1% of your effort will take you 99% of the way to your goal, but completing that final 1% will cost 99% of the total effort.
the world obviously does not care that 2 entities in 1 country who probably have lunch regularly already control over 51% of the bitcoin hash power. case in point, bitcoin has never died.
who really cares about a few dollars spent twice?
nobody that matters
so, why the hell don't you just save 99% of your time and money, rather than spend it on something that the masses don't care about.
a wokaholic can get 99x more useful work done if he is not a perfectionist
So just because you are imperfect, does not mean that you are unproductive
Case in point:
the world's undisputed most distributed immutable ledger (if it works)
(and another creative genius bound for the funny farm because he craves attaining that final 1%
Hehe... If someone is one of those who does not care to complete that remaining 1%, then I would really prefer him to be lazy!
Otherwise, if he is productive workaholic, he could create so much shit, world could never handle it!! We are actually already flooded by shit created by such non-perfectionist workaholics (there are hundreds or examples of such shit, take China tablets as one..).
So.. lets hope the non-perfectionists get lazy
