    That’s like saying: “Oh, you think multi-level marketing shouldn’t exist? It’s a form of storytelling so apparently you want to destroy all stories, you mean old culture-hater and book-burner.”

      Also, do cryptobros really believe they invented consensus algorithms as a concept?
      • rsynnott 4y ago
        Some of them seem to believe they invented _cryptography_, so, well, probably. I've seen crypto people genuinely convinced that it is impossible to sign something without the Almighty Blockchain providing its blessing.

          Academics are generally extremely happy to get paid.

            The one thing academics are known for is not getting paid very well at all. Especially in computing fields.
