Exactly, Adam.

Except, I think the genie is out of the bottle - these ideas are too =

a different name=E2=80=A6and Bitcoin will be relegated to the history =
books and walls of museums.

Most of the potential brainpower available on this Earth to make =

begun to touch it. Just because you happen to run a Bitcoin startup =
right now=E2=80=A6even if you=E2=80=99ve received millions of dollars in =
funding=E2=80=A6don=E2=80=99t think that the whole world has low =
standards and is lazy! Someone WILL eventually build something better =
than we can presently imagine.
