Musk’s specialty is selling vaporware and big promises.
Satoshi released working software without prior announcements and did hardly anything to promote it.
I don’t know how anyone really thinks Elon could be Satoshi.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoDude created a company that built a reusable rocket and you accuse him of selling vaporware.
- nostrademons 4y agoGwynne Shotwell created a company that built a reusable rocket. Elon gave his name and a pile of money to it.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoPlenty of people with money in the world. Yet only Elon was willing to finance Shotwell. And last I checked, the company’s name was SpaceX, not “Elon Musk’s Rocket Company”
- sph 4y agoWe're talking about someone with inhuman self-control, and GP is talking about someone that just can't keep his mouth shut and loves being in the spotlight. If the genesis block did contain the image of a trollface (or any other 2008-era meme) instead of "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout for Banks", I could entertain this theory.
- aaaaaaaaata 4y agoIt's easy to retain self control when you already want for literally nothing.
- tsimionescu 4y agoWell, not for Elon Musk.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoI often wonder what would happen if Satoshi’s wallet would actively start selling. Not so much on the price but the principles that underpin Bitcoin I, for the record, remain a believer.
- LightG 4y agoYour comment doesn't negate the vaporware comment.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoHow? I’m no fanboy but delivering working products pretty much negates all accusations of peddling vaporware.
- arcticbull 4y agoFSD. CyberTruck. Humanoid Robot. Semi.
- root_axis 4y agoAlso: Neurolink. Boring Company. Twitter Acquisition.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoYou’re confusing marketing hyperbole for vaporware.
- arcticbull 4y agoA man jumping around in a suit being sold as a robot isn't hyperbole, it's vaporware.
