this man called me vain last week
Vinay @leashless I’m a different kind/calibre of smart. Possibly a once in a generation transformational intelligence. You don’t see it in any one area of my work, it’s the cross-cutting broad horizon: pandemics, nuclear terrorism, failed states, emergency sheltering, cryptographic applications
Vinay @leashless You come into my field “I’m not sure why any of this is necessary, justify it to me!” “If you won’t answer my rudimentary questions it must mean you don’t now very much.” Most of the people in my field are idiots. I am not a idiot: I’m the smartest person most people ever meet.
Vinay @leashless You assume that I give a shit. I don’t give a shit. I’m kind of operating in a different paradigm from the rest of the crypto space, and frankly most of humanity. This is me 10 years ago https://youtu.be/EkQCy-UrLYw do I look like I give a shit about foolish people’s opinions?
Vinay @leashless Look, I don’t say this lightly, but there is a time and a place for it: I’m a field-leading innovator in four different areas, and a world leader in one or two. I’ve worked for some of the most powerful humans alive, and solved problems that defeated entire branches of academia.

Bram, a question about chia!(I will divide it into two tweets) Bitcoin uses energy, which undoubtedly leads to its rise in price, and energy has a detrimental effect on the environment in many ways.

You use disk space, it is also useful for other purposes, such as servers, data warehouses, cloud storage. What do you think about using these repositories in some other way than storing chia graphs. Maybe I don't understand something?
