With that in mind though, I would consider him to be as capable as any of the top minds in crypto, I just wish he would stop bloody posting endlessly and do it

Thank you for ur contribution! what are some of these top minds in crypto that Shelby can compete with?
~CfA~
The usual suspects really;
Buterin, Maxwell, Andresen, King, Satoshi (can of worms? lol), etc
Whether anyone has the patience to work with him is another matter

But,
if he can focus, work on his people skills or even do it solo, I do think he
would produce something quite spectacular.
IMO TPTB is a rough diamond, you're gunna cut your fingers to bits handling him, but if you can persevere, you might just end up with something sparkly.
wow, very interesting! a VERY high appraisal.
's. u're basically saying he lacks something which holds back his potential ?
