d_Eddie Is almost certainly right. We're probably still dealing with standard physics here, but probabilities are probabilities.

And the freaking box is opened. And who knows whats in it? I don't.

We'll bitcoin survive this? Will it survive shit on the blockchain? Will it survive miners with terrible incentives and who are bad actors?  Will it survive all the people that want to kill it?

You know what's crazy is I don't think it has to survive smart people nearly as much as it has to survive all the rest us dumbasses.

I've begun to think that the extent to which the game theory was thought through on this, there are so few minds that could have done it.

Over the years, I've had people that I thought were Satoshi... for a minute at Adam.. for some time, Hal And then Nick Szabo just seemed right.

But over this last year, I've been reading the white papers and studying interviews and listening to the talks of the "beautiful mind"... 

I read somewhere recently that daring some of the years that John Nash was institutionalized for his paranoid schizophrenia. He taught himself programming in a believe specifically C++.  It was a way to find some peace in his madness at the time.

He was a soft, spoken, quirky, very eccentric fellow.  I believe the last paper he wrote on money was called "Asymptotic Ideal Money." 

Anyway, who knows, maybe just a romantic notion.

I've been seeing a lot of chatter in the world of high-end finance about the trillions of dollars that are expected to start moving into Bitcoin, particularly as it becomes more and more available from a regulatory sense.

Whoever designed it and whoever the current adversaries are, whether they know it or not, hopefully that brilliant game theory can hold up through what's to come.

But the cat is most certainly out of the bag or the box or something.

I knew all along we'd be here, and today I can't believe it. I can't believe it at all.
