If nerds and geeks do start "ruling the world" thanks in part to their BTC earnings, then all the gold digging women will then marry them for their money/status and spend it on stupid things like Prada bags (I am already married to a "nerd" and we had no money when we started out so I am exempt  Grin)

So who will really rule the world?   Wink

Kinda like how the dotcom boom made geeks all the most powerful people?

Nerds & Geeks seem to be ok with being ruled at the point of a gun. People who are not very smart but are charismatic are the ones in control of those guns.

This.

(and I very rarely agree with elwar about anything.)



You don't know anything about me. Don't assume anything.
Many people who meet me on daily basis think they know me, yet they don't.

I was just telling you what it sounds like...you are the one getting all defensive about it.

I know all of this may sound funny, but I am actually quite serious.
Actually it sounds kind of sad, its almost like you are trying to justify your lack of social skills.

It's like back in high school when people would say the same type of thing, like: "in 20 years the nerds will be the jock's bosses" or "the popular kids now will be pumping gas and the nerds will all be rich".

The problem is, that isn't even remotely true, its wish-fulfillment fantasy.

You don't know anything about me. Don't assume anything.

The above has nothing to do with any fantasy. I'm just stating the inevitable. If Bitcoin will rule the world, so will geeks.
Just look at how much rise of the Internet has raised the geek social status. Bitcoin will increase it 10-fold or 100-fold.

Geeks will be the new high-standard which everybody will aspire to.

I am not actually producing anything so revolutionary here. Geeks are among the wealthiest people of the world. In my country, geeks are the people who earn the most money already. This is already happening

Nerds grow up to be old stodgey white men with little compassion for new technology, young people or liberal society. They already rule the world.
True story.

History.

Look at this nerd boy.



Who's he?




Or this one:




That's him:





And of course there's always him:



But I think you know who that is.

Here's something to think about. If you rule the world and have everyone shot that bullied you in school, are you still a nerd? Or have YOU become the bully instead?

Mmm 5 levels below Stalin 4 levels below hitler 3 levels below apartheid 2 levels below exterminator 1 level below terminator == Mujahideen or Dark Hero

How can a small box of candies rule the world?



Haha, very good.

But back to the subject, I do believe they have the potential to 'rule the world' but as a geek, I wouldn't want to rule the world, to much responsibility, to much laws, too much wars.
Saying that, I would like to create my own island and community, so I guess I have mixed opinions lol.
Just program a Sim City World like interface for your ruling. That way it will just seem like a video game rather than world ruling.
