What is the point of your comments here? First you point out that this seems like bullshit and a waste of money. Then you point out that Sam doesn't care about making the world a better place and just likes money. You're contradicting yourself, and on top of that, publicly insulting a core figure in this community. I've never met Sam, I don't care about him or if he wants to make the world a better place or not, but your comments are completely uncalled for. You're a cynic, cool, that's fine. Comment on why you think the technology is bogus and don't publicly insult others.

My point is I think it's a shitty investment. You're welcome to celebrate it and I'm welcome to criticize it. I don't take back what I said about Sam and think he deserves more criticism, not less.

  What you said is not criticism, it's just an insult. It adds nothing to the conversation and lowers the level of discourse. I'm not celebrating anything. I'm a skeptic at heart and don't believe in any hype until I see meaningful progress. I just don't see the need to shit all over something because my gut tells me it's hype.

    Well when the person I was responding to said: > Sam isn't investing because this is the best risk-adjusted return for his portfolio. He's investing because, if it does pay out, it also very literally changes the course of humanity in the process. I thought I'd reply with my personal experience why I disagree. And again, I stand by what I said about Sam. I really think he deserves much more criticism than he gets. If criticizing someone's character is an insult then I think we need more insults. I don't want a nicer world, I want a world with less bullshit.

      The problem with your comment is that anyone could have made it. I could make the same comment about you because for whatever reason I don't like you. It may be true or not. Anonymous attacks on the internet do nothing but lower the level of discourse. Now if you posted about a specific negative experience you had with the individual and actually put something on the line, that would be different. But as it is, there is no reason to believe you. For all I know, you just dislike him because he didn't invest in your company.

        I don't care about your opinion the same way you don't care about mine. Making a vague comment about disliking someone is a lot less damning than being specific about why I don't like him, and unfortunately I can't really get into that without doxxing myself and frankly it isn't worth the hassle anyway. If you want to write me off as worthless then go for it. It seems you already have, that's fine.
