definitely. I just helped my parents get a Honda 2200 working at their home in Northern California in anticipation of the PG&E blackouts. We tested it out and it can power certain things together, but not an entire house. The 2200 Watt generator was able to power a fridge/freezer + some electronics, which is enough to get by for a couple days.

I'm curious to hear about people that:

1. worked extremely "hard" for 20 years 2. sacrificed relationships/family/living life 3. found moderate/average success, but never caught a break

Agree with this point, it really makes things so much easier. Imagine having student debt, struggling to get a job out of college, and then

Once you’ve gotten yourself to a point where you have your basic obligations covered you should try to make it easy to take risks

that could easily take 10+ years?

I actually had the same thoughts. I'm surprised he's being so transparent about this. I feel for the employees at this company -- just because a company is profitable, doesn't mean that employees are being paid fairly/market rate.

I wouldn't be surprised if the founder tries to sell the company in the new few years a discount of the current valuation. With 45% ownership, that's a very large chunk of change.

It is the "faith" or confidence that many people have in their government which gives psychological stability to their respective fiat currency, and Bitcoin threatens that faith

Appreciate that comment, I think a lot of this crypto does threaten the status quo, which makes people a bit uncomfortable.

These are the types of comments I'm referring to, why all the hate and assuming proponents of blockchain are full of shit? Were people this skeptical in the late 90's when the internet was coming to fruition?

Proponents can't distinguish different roles of money I'm pretty naive to this stuff, but you just listed a bunch of terms I easily googled in 2 minutes and now have a rudimentary understanding of. Sure there are tons of things to study in the field of finance, but I think the main idea is just a more decentralized setup and native "internet money".

I would tend to agree. Nanomix (nano.com) has been trying to accomplish this for the past ~6 years or so. Combining a complex biological assay + micofluidics + high precision sensing technology is not a trivial task. I want to see some hard data verified from a third party.
