2/We humans create centralized hierarchical structures in everything around us, it's in our DNA. We're simply not evolved enough for Bitcoin

The current #ICO culture puts financial gain above all else.
It fuels a kind of greed and dishonesty I thought #Bitcoin was meant to remedy.

Regardless of age — if you're clueless on what educational path to take, then you can always fall back on this:

Aim for broad engineering skills
that every country will need
under every political regime.

The so called US-China "Trade War" is not about steel and soybeans.
It's about innovation — think self-driving electric cars, manufacturing robotics, high-speed rail, and Ai.

The battle for 21st century global #innovation leadership
between China and the US is on!

@twobitidiot Is there any resemblance between speculative BTC hoarding and the Baby-sitting co-op crisis which Krugman wrote about in '98?

@ChristofferDG My guess is that runaway greed is creating irrational market participants.
They'll support as many forks and ICOs as the market can handle.

Chinese mining pools control 70% of the #Bitcoin network’s hashrate.
With PBoC banning ICOs & now shutting down exchanges - are miners next?

EU crash => end of a peaceful Europe?
