Hmmm, Peter Harrison's post about Danny being an early adopter/miner puts many things into perspective for me. I don't think we're dealing with a professional here (I always suspected this, but that kind of confirms it for me). His foolhardy arrogance is probably the result of him making lots of money from mining and attributing that to brilliance rather than luck. Many early adopters are afflicted by this condition (see MPEX above). I always thought that, for him to be that ambitious and arrogant, he would have to be either a genius, extremely skilled, or a fool, a charlatan. I'm leaning on the latter even more now.
