- WalterSear 10y agoVacuous ad hominems like, "tech-nerds who could tell you the square root of a banana, but wouldn't have a clue how to sell you one?" (Clearly, these tech-nerds have sold something to someone, or vast sums of money wouldn't have changed hands.) Given that: * sometimes people make large bets and don't expect immediate returns. * sometimes people make large bets, and they are wrong. * markets can get overheated There's no premise to discourse here - just sour grapes.
