    Mick, you are probably right, that we haven't yet seen the full wrath of the establishment attack cryptocurrencies. Like shami said before, they don't understand it, but once they realize the threat, you're right, they'll attack it with all their might. But, this decentralized technology may just be the one thing they can't beat. It's a worthy battle, one worth fighting for and at least worth cheering for.

    Shami needs to start her own, and I will be the architect, not you, or anyone else.

    Only me, unlike Shit-o-shi or whatever his name is,

    I will need Shami to stand up with me in the spotlight of Fame & as the "Destroyers of Empires" as Ares says...



    Actually, after today, I understand why Shit-o-shi hides.

    You say the hill's too steep to climb
    Climb it.
    You say you'd like to see me try
    Climbing.

    You pick the place and I'll choose the time
    And I'll climb
    That hill in my own way.
    Just wait a while for the right day.
    And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
    I look down, hearing the sound of the things you've said today.

    Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
    Smiling.
    Merciless the magistrate turns 'round
    Frowning.

    And who's the fool who wears the crown?
    And go down,
    In your own way
    And every day is the right day
    And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
    You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd.

    I'm a dude actually.

    I have no interest in starting up a cryptocurrency, though I honestly could if I REALLY wanted to. It's not profitable for my time and effort. I'm more of an 3D artist than a programmer. My future is in 3D printing, and my current field: designing and maintaining content for virtual worlds. Why design a currency when I can design an alternative reality itself. I spend almost all of my time in this alternative reality, and I'm very happy there, and I no longer wish to have a normal life. It's who I am now.

    I'm on the art end of this sort of stuff anyways.

    I still think the best thing to do is to get into a cryptocurrency EARLY that you think will take off. That's why I stand with Litecoins now, and recommend others do the same if they are willing to take that risk.

    Horn is having some fun with inside jokes, but I'll be a little more serious. In previous threads you mentioned your desire to soon move to Idaho. I did so thirty years ago and am in Boise. Not in some alternative reality. Boise. Idaho. Planet Earth.
