I appreciate your effort, as I fear that the greatest hindrance to the success of cryptocurrencies is a nontechnical and/or ignorant public.

- andrewfromx 9y agoyeah I got the idea after watching the Bernie Madoff movie and thinking, there is going to be a Madoff level ICO scandal at some point for sure. Only way to help is teach non programmers how blockchain works.
- cocktailpeanuts 9y agoThey will never be able to learn enough to not make a mistake. Instead they will learn barely just enough to think they understand, which is significantly more dangerous than not knowing at all. I say this as an experienced programmer who has been learning this technology for a few months, and still don't fully understand the depth and the implications of the technology yet. This thing is really deep, trying to inform the general public how this thing works is as difficult as trying to teach the general public what they teach in medical school hoping they will be able to heal themselves when they're hurt. The one valuable thing I've learned so far is that it's dangerous thinking that you understand how the entire ecosystem works just because you understand how each block in a blockchain is verified.
