re: you are right

Hoping, dreaming, wishing for things to be true isn't much of a prediction, but it would be sweet if it ever got there. Sweeter if it got beyond $100 too. :)

I'm not sure where my true thoughts lie here. I want to feel like I'm a part of something that will take off, but I don't want to be fooling myself, either. Too old for that. I need for it to be true, but not to the extent where I'm in big trouble if it all falls a part.

re: technology

I think there's a lot of hope there being placed on 'we can fix it'. That's what I got out of this last hard fork, and some previous problems with the blockchain. Apparently, this is the land of infinite chances. people will be patient no matter how many times we mess things up, because, by golly, we can fix it!

May it truly be so, kids. :)

re: excellence

Well, I can't really be the judge of that, now can I? I try for above average, with occasional flares of brilliance. :) It's impossible to be excellent in all you do, though. I'm probably a jack of several trades (not all, not many) and definitely a master of none. Including, it would seem, consistency. :)
