It is easier to play clown and ridicule than to understand. Just the way the pronounce bitcoin get on my nerves. I agree that the concepts and fundamentals are being lost amongst the noise. Indeed.


These same reasons lead me to wonder the degree of insanity this goes to when I see entire marketing teams form for altcoins. They're all marketing to the world that's been laid out before them, rather than the one they want to see or create. They've hidden behind an ego that must be protected at all costs.

It's a lack of true vision that I see, where the programmers have been beaten into punching keys on the keyboard, the investors sell short and long, the exchanges pick up the new daily hype at the drop of a hat, the miners struggle to run a program on their computer, the one-man markets take the money based on the demand, the consumer picks up a few more things they don't need and the dreamers are still sleeping.

Everyone's just doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing, and that's what's coming to terrify me. Without a proper evolution into something new, we're left to be a revolution of squids in a sea of sharks. We're in the midst of what should be a coming total changeover to a new currency unit, and I hear not more than laughter at crickets.

I'd love to be of more use than just offer some finger-slapping a keyboard, but what is there to do really?
