Buckminster Fuller once said..." You never change things by fighting against the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.".
I am barely two weeks old here...but if you guys consider all parallel code to what Msoft has in gthub pedestrian code and take the coding to the next level...then it won't really matter what they come up with...does it? And match then upgrade for upgrade...or innovate on a level they cannot match by studying the limitations msoft is well known for...their bottlenecks...then crowd source on a more intense level by offering steem prizes for said innovations. And do so under deadlines. Many, many people seem to work better when there is a finite amount of time to get stuff done.
It is possible that Microsoft's entrance into cryptos this way is a signal that crypto is resting on their laurels...and like a stagnant pool of water...attracts larvae like Msoft. If the buzzard Gates has landed and isn't going anywhere...then is it not in Steem's best interest to innovate so hard it can never find itself hitched to a shitwagon? This will only be the first of more acquisitions to come so are the top dogs in Steem and its satellites armour plating itself so that when they hear the whistling...they know not to bend over for the soap? Replace GHTUB. Get together with other cryptos founders and see if building a permanent replacement is required, viable and desired...then proceed from there. It is a terrible thing to allow the buzzard to purchase a bottleneck where they can train their bloody AI by feeding data in it in real time...of real customer transactions. That is the reason for purchasing GHTUB yes? To plug real time data into an experimental and artificial intelligence like that movie Ex Machina where the dude fed world wide data into a neural matrix? Anyway...I think I will stop there. Peace guys...
