Have to argue there.

Bitcoin has one very specific end result which is the opposite of what Huntercoin initially was.

Mikhail Sendeyev was around a lot of people who were studying one type of ai at a Moscow university. You can Google the people he worked with and look at their papers then, and since.

Bitcoin was a completely different trajectory.

When Sendeyev bit the big one, Huntercoin immediately lost its path towards anything approaching real ai, and slowly died.

Huntercoin and bitcoin were initially exact opposites. It was bitcoin + Google ai + other stupidity, and on the other side only a few small attempts to push the world in a healthier direction.

So today there is really nothing. Nobody has picked up where Sendeyev left. Bitcoin has been melting potting vast numbers of people into the global nightmare of a single tribe.

Run silent, run deep, I agree. There are things that can be done if crypto stays off course.

ETA Here is something to think about. How would the world be different if simple nukes were open source in the 1940s?
1) Countless tribes which are extinct would still be around.
2) Sciences would have advanced much faster.
3) Global warming would be virtually non existent, aside from a few very, very hot spots.

Making a coin which helped tribal economies develop i.e., the opposite of bitcoin, would have a similar effect.

Very easy path to that is a roadmap which ends with a coin that monetizes/develops math scripts and gives non tech types the ability to mine by doing the same work the scripts do. When that basic coin is created somebody smart can adapt it to more complicated sciences.
