+1...though Edison's old quote about genius being 1% inspiration (concept), 99% perspiration (implementation) immediately comes to mind. From a longer-term point of view...the ways in which blockchains & crypto are going wrong look amazingly similar to things which kinda regularly went wrong, ~1.5 centuries ago, with under-regulated brick & mortar banks, securities, & such. "Backed by real gold in the vaults!" didn't mean much, when there were few checks that said gold was really there (some groups of banks had only enough gold - collectively - to pass an inspection at one of them), paper "gold-backed" notes & securities could be printed with only the backing of other such pieces of paper "backed by someone's gold, somewhere, supposedly...", etc., etc. |
