Thanks for the nostalgia ride. I probably have dusty computer club sig tapes I made in the 80's and 90's with early developments.

The blockchain is the first financial protocol added to the internet. They can copy the protocol, but they can't copy the risks and sacrifices taken by its pioneers. And they did it without financial backing and with all open source coding. Nobody can accuse them of doing this as a pyramid scheme because everyone had the same opportunities to get in cheap even years after it began. It's been quite a ride and I don't see it ever ending.

God, the 90s sucked.
I should go back to wearing a bucket hat all the time though that was pretty great.

Might be.
It might be...
But there must be innovation and new products. This is good for this kind of tech.
