Care to give a tl;dr of what the angle is of that one? I googled it, and my eyes glazed over at the wall of text I found being, well, imprecise in what this is supposed to be. Surely he can't propose equal valuation of different cryptos?
Not sure about equal valuation, but the way I understood it was that on the "shared highway" you could use other cryptos "strongpoints" - e.g. BBR's CryptoNote. I'd like to say XMR's CryptoNote, but apparently BBR is better AND got their first. James was asked if XMR would be there and he answered any crypto with something to offer and if XMR doesn't have anything to offer it won't be accepted. I sense a bit of hostility regarding XMR. I'm surprised he is holding it against the XMR devs what the XMR community said (well, he siad that but I didn't see all the talking down to.)
I do have to say however that I have envisioned Cryptos organically being able to sort of "merge" at some time in the future. Perhaps what James is doing is the first step in that direction.

Interesting background. Thanks.
Bolded is what I had in mind more or less in my ha ha only serious post above about a merge of XMR and BBR. Not going to happen, of course, but at the same time, if in 10 years from now we don't have a precedence of two major coins merging, I'd be seriously surprised.
It is more like an intuition than a thought for me at this point. I can only imagine that AI comes into the Cryptos, at some basic level. Eventually they should be able to "communicate" with one another. What does that entail? Interesting to extrapolate out that far with variables that we are not even yet aware of. At some further point I can only see a mixing of coins, much like on Earth how we have a mixing of races. Eventually, we, uhhh, get Greycoin, ehhe, kidding, but you get my idea. Just as how atoms have a Neutron with electrons/protons revolving around them, so do Solar systems have movements that are quit similar. I can only surmise that throughout our systems, we should look for overlays to other more universal ones (metaphorically speaking). Hope that made sense, a bit hard to English. I just can't imagine money, much less Crypto being anything like it is currently, years from now.
