I see your point. Craig has done some work on Bitcoin and deserves respect for that. Even if he messes up now, it shouldn't change the value of his previous contributions. That makes sense - but yeah - the media will not see it this way. They have lost credibility (or would have if they had any) and now are out of blood.

Personally, I think he went crazy. Kinda like if Einstein published a 'proof' that the earth is flat, years after his theory of Relativity.

That's the thing about innovators... to think up an entire concept that has never been implented before, and actually bring it to fruition, you have to go against all known and accepted forms of logic/common sense. Which, on the surface, resembles insanity

It's funny that ALL of the innovative technologies that are now so normal, and taken for granted were created by individuals that were branded as: insane

I mean, inputs and outputs on a 'triple entry' digital ledger is what we're using as money in 2016?

To someone that was involved with the legacy banking systems in even as recent as the 1980's looks at this blockchain system and feels entirely justified when he says "this is madness, it will never work."

LCSociety, surprised you are posting tonight - shouldn't you be watching the Ancient Aliens marathon?

Human beings are clearly the odd ones out on this planet bro. So, no, not watching the marathon.. I'm LIVING the ancient alien marathon. We all are Wink
