I heard Vitalik has been brushing up on his Chinese.

As a middle aged man, I don't consider myself able to ever be fluent, but do you guys think that if one wishes to be involved in cryptocurrency they should at least learn some basics? (perhaps merely as a sign of respect, should one visit China eventually). I picked up some Russian basics over the last ten years, and that was difficult enough - the thought of starting from scratch with a new language is daunting, but life is long... and a native English speaker who could also speak Russian and Chinese would be in a lucrative position, regardless of any other abilities.

I found written Chinese to be endlessly fascinating, and spoken Chinese to be endlessly frustrating, due to tones. I began study in my 40s.

Let me know if you guys need any pointers in Chinese, I'm a Chinese speaker (but I'm not China Chinese).

Well if you want to draft a letter to the chinese cryptocurrency exchanges explaining to them the benefits of Monero and why they should offer Monero, and then help on IRC when the exchange ops inevitably end up needing help setting up monero server side..... that would be great!!
