But here in the forum we have open minded discussions, and liberty to speak. I can't see the necessity for "winning"... The only winner I can see is Bitcoin (and LN), maybe this whole new crypto eco-system. Fascinating.

Indeed, that's also why I'm here, I'm fascinated too. My agenda here is to pump up my own understanding, that's grossly all. It is also very entertaining. Even dangerously entertaining, I spend too much time here. My main problem is that I'm an extremely fast typographer. I type as fast as I talk. I learned that in high school, I followed typing lessons (back then still on mechanical typewriters

). The exercise was to be able to type a heard-over discourse at "on-line" speed. This explains my "walls of text". It's not practical, but it would take me 5 times the time to go over it and write it in a better way. I try to bring some relief by going over it and putting in bold, but unfortunately, when I do that, I get new ideas I want to say, and I edit and make the texts even longer.

Apart from entertainment, as I said, my main goal here is understanding. As I said, I'm fascinated too, but in a much less "enthusiastic" way. I think it is a dark, evil and deceiving world, and I think nothing "good" (in standard human understanding) is going to come out of this. But I firmly believe in its destructive success. You can compare me to an astronomer that is studying the meteorite that is on collision course with earth. That's fascinating in a dark kind of way. To try to see exactly how the impact will be, what will be destroyed first, by what process. Not scary, just dark and evil, and I have some fascination for dark and evil.

This is why I want to understand it - the only true pleasure in life before one dies. My core idea is that the Singularity is unavoidable, but I never figured out how machines would do it. I think crypto is the answer.
