I will have to dedicate an evening to this paper. However I can say that I admire Vitalik's tenacity. This is not a detraction of his achievement; keeping in mind that this guy dropped out of his formal education to pursue explorations and meditations in the field of crypto, and succeeding as he is is nothing short of inspirational.
Great work Vitalik. Rooting for you.

He can spend the rest of his days reflecting on whatever topic he wants, as can his children, and his great grand children, and their children. His great great great grand children may need to get a job though.

- anadem 6y agoThere's a saying where I'm from: "clogs to clogs in three generations". Man works himself up from clog-wearing poverty to wealth; son seems the dad's journey and values wealth; grandson grows up in wealth and doesn't understand how it happened so loses it.
