This is the guy that thought that a simulated(on traditional CPU) quantum algorithm could be faster than a traditional algorithm.

This is the guy that thought of Ethereum because he disagreed with a balance patch in an MMO and thinks that in a blockchain mmo you could just fork it.

It's a consensus mechanism, a way to agree on which fork is the real one and which forks should be ignored, automatically.
