Damnit! I knew there was something a bit BOOM-y about the rain outside. CO2 levels must be off-the-charts!
You know, I've explained Bitcoin and Blockchain to many a jackanape myself. Others enjoyed the complex technical talk, but others got the explanation when I compared proof-of-work to that saying "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" The mileage varies it seems.
Yeah, I mean to be fair, I was one only a year ago. There isn't much mainstream talk on bitcoin. Still a bit of work to be done!
I still can't believe we've come a long way from 2008 though. I remember back then people talking about double digit BTC as a norm. If we only knew how big it would get. We could've been clanking glasses of champagne aboard our own separate yachts right now instead of talking over the internet.
You are right there man!! I just assumed it was some kind of fad!
