True. I think Sam might get a "bonkers" pass because of his track record that the rest of us might not.

He’s exactly the person I wouldn’t give a pass to, because of his track record. I wouldn’t give a penny to a cryptocurrency scammer. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/richardnieva/worldcoin-crypto-eyeball-scanning-orb-problems https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/richardnieva/worldcoin-... https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/04/06/1048981/worldcoin-cryptocurrency-biometrics-web3/ https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/04/06/1048981/worldcoi... Especially not one whose business plan is “let’s invent fairytale technology then ask it how to make money”. https://x.com/geepytee/status/1778859803735113950 https://x.com/geepytee/status/1778859803735113950 If all of that sounds good to you, I know of a bridge you may be interested in purchasing.

    I’m not your bro. The thing that’s absolutely wrong (and quite frankly inscrutable) about people who think like you is that you all believe everyone is money hungry like yourselves and you are utterly incapable of imagining anyone whose life doesn’t revolve around wealth. Most people aren’t envious of “crypto bros” nor are they mad they didn’t “get rich” in a zero-sum scam most lost money on. That’s how you would feel. Fortunately the world is more diverse than that and there are people with healthier priorities.

      Hey you make great points, but you assumed some things incorrectly. 1) I never said people were envious of "crypto bros". 2) I never said I was rich or cared for money. My main priority is family. I think you might have some issues about late stage capitalism, but for that I do salute you. Ill repeat what I was trying to say so its clearer. I think there is potential in AI , and Bitcoin was a fantastic piece of software. I am confused why people on HN had so much trouble adopting these technologies. yeah AI and Bitcoin have shortfalls in their design, but Bitcoin is used by alot of people now, and so is AI. Those are my points. I don’t know you, so I won’t make assumptions. Free yourself from early judgments; often, those you clash with share more in common with you than you might realize bro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC2A5dya72A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC2A5dya72A
