Let me try to translate Vitelik's bulshiteese into more straightforward English:
Quote from: me in somebody's else voice
"I have zero experience in working with actual financial software. I even have no amateur's interest in learning how it works. I'm writing a demagoguery targeted at the lowest common denominator of code monkey: Javascript or PHP programmer for the web services."

Are you trying to suggest Vitalik isn't a prolific programmer or hasn't co-developed his own software stack?
https://github.com/vbuterinI'm saying he doesn't know much about anything.....here is a typical Vitalik statement:
Vitalik Buterin:
"
lower threshold that the total satoshi count manages to fall just below: the largest possible integer that can be exactly represented in floating point format"
Bullshit detector tripped!
Floating point since forever had two flavors: binary and decimal. The most well known standards are: IEEE 754-1985, IEEE 854-1987 & IEEE 754-2008. The only remaining question is which flavor of bullshit is being served here:
1) undereducated/incompetent
2) intentional deception/preliminary setup for future fraud
3) two-for-the-price-of-one mixture of the above
Standard links for those who are not afraid of the truth and not afraid to admit that they may have slept through some lecture:
