Like what?
- jquery 14y agoBeing a co-founder of the internet company I work for? As much as I respect my company, it's no Bitcoin.
- rkuykendall-com 14y agoThere are a lot of people and companies worth over 100 million dollars. I only know of one revolutionary crypto-currency.
- antiscam 14y agoOr the seventeen others founded on the same technology. It's important to distinguish the Bitcoin software from the particular block chain in whose private keys naive people are now speculating.
- rmc 14y agoSelection bias. You only know of one popular revolutionary cypto-currency. There are loads of companies worth $0 (or much less than $100M)
- cheapsteak 14y agoPopularity is essential to 'revolutionary'-ness. It's not revolutionary if no one uses it
- archgoon 14y agoWinning the Nobel in physics, or winning one of the Clay Mathematics prizes.
- kzrdude 14y agoThe Nobel prize is just around $1 million.
- archgoon 14y agoReally? Oh, but you can win them multiple times. Simply achieve 100 Nobel Prizes (or merely 97 if you resolve P?=NP, the Navier Stokes Equation, and the Riemann Hypothesis), and you will have made a similar contribution as Bitcoin or jQuery. That's not counting, of course, the millions you'd be raking in as a tenured professor in the meantime.
