We are the 98 pound genius weakling at the beach. We are still going to get sand kicked in our face. We need to be all 'round good, not excellent, or even the best in some areas, but pitifully deficient in others.

If we're using comic book metaphors, I think we're about to become X-Men's Beast - superhuman strength with genius level intellect.

LOL, good one! Remember Peter Parker, before he was bitten by the spider. A 98 pound weakling genius himself, and then he got the spider powers. I just don't want us to have Peter Parker's terrible timing, and Peter Parker's luck!

Your metaphor is wrong. It's more like a carnival barker claiming that what is behind the curtain is "Stupendous, mighty, earth shatteringly strong and will destroy all who get in its way!"

Which maybe once or twice should get you to bet against BTC or XMR, opensource technologies that do what they say and how they say it and don't need a manager to pimp their wares. After hearing this over and over again with every new coin that's built on hype and promises, maybe you should be a little less panicky and a little more confident in what is right here in front of you.

No one is stopping you from betting a little (or everything) on what's behind the curtain, so if you believe all the hype, go for it.
