Not entirely related, but one of the things I suggest to people beginning to take an interest in crypto is to find the places that give a little for free or for doing a small task, specifically because nothing is more convincing than seeing $5 worth of it sprout to gas money for a week.

I think this guy is onto something, although 5 years is a bit long to wait for it in this environment. I think it’d be wiser, and more educational, to release it in portions, first small, then increasingly larger so people can begin to learn how to use it and have incentive to dabble in the markets.

One of the points I continually drive to people is that just because this tech is new doesn’t mean it’s entirely unfamiliar. Many of the fundamentals of cryptocurrency aren’t foreign so much as presented in unfamiliar terms.

Once you really look at this stuff there’s a learning curve but I compare it to a jack-o-lantern, in that from the back it just looks like a pumpkin, but looking at it from a different perspective reveals more detail, but it’s still just a pumpkin and there’s nothing mysterious or spooky about a pumpkin no matter how many sharp teeth some glorious bastard curved into it…
wait… what were we talking about?
