I am a marketing consultant, entrepreneur, computer scientist and network engineer who has been working exclusively in decentralized technologies for 8 years. I am drawn to the technical advancements of cryptographic telecommunications and its capacities to service individuals in a world searching for representation and democracy. I have participated in chain splits, user activated soft forks, smart contracts and DAOs (including the original Ethereum DAO implementation).
A Bitcoiner and an Ether user both get in their cars. The Ether user starts the car and drives off. The Bitcoiner continues looking over his car for 3 hours. His fluids and timing belt weren't 100% verifiable. He starts his car and proceeds to sit in his parking spot. He realizes he can't trust the cars on the road or in the lot. Therefore, he turns his car off and goes back inside, presumably to check his node.
