RE: DAN LARIMER: Visionary Programmer of BitShares, Steem and EOS
Wow, very thorough. I watched one of Dan's presentations on EOS and had a feeling this guy was a genius. Your post just solidified that for me. I also have a new crypto investing strategy. Invest in Dan. Hearing his questions to Vitalik, along with his track record, it really seems like his #1 priority is to make the technology that the world needs. Other cryptocurrencies will have their limelight, but in the end i'm betting on the person who really knows how to solve the issues, and makes that his priority (over branding and profit). I believe in the end, after other cryptocurrencies start hitting more and more scaling obstacles, a Dan Larimer project will rise to the very top.
good analysis. The fact that this blockchain was up and running in a matter of months is something people don't quite grasp. Also, people don't know that Dan was trying to create his own digital money even before he found Bitcoin. Many people before Satoshi also tried to create digital money.....it was Satoshi's invention which combined cryptography and the double-spend issue that made it solid. I read through Dan's conversations with Satoshi, and back then Dan was already working on figuring out solutions to the scaling problems. He's thinking waaaaay ahead, and it is possible that his solutions are designed to resolve things that Ethereum is not equipped to handle. The main issue with all of this is the fact the information is kind of hidden, and no one understands what exactly Graphene is. I have been attempting to grasp this, in order to comprehend why Graphene is superior to Ethereum, but I don't totally get it. I think it has to do with the fact that Graphene tech is Delegated Proof of Stake, and Ethereum is a hybrid of POW + POS. It gets murky, because one almost needs a computer programming degree to fully grasp what it all means, and how it will shake out in the future. I am still looking for an easy to grasp understanding of Graphene...I noticed that 'Graphene' is missing from the Steem Wiki....
Someone's been doing their homework!
I've been doing this homework for a year. Steemit is 100,000 more valuable than my college degree.
what else have you been researching on? would be good to know :)
