1. On the nine hour train ride I had yesterday to Innsbruck, Austria, I went into a cryptocurrency internet deep dive. With literally hundreds of various coins to research and fantasize about, the nine hours actually went by pretty quickly.
Obviously, the coins themselves have varying levels of intrigue. Unlike in yesteryear, these “coins” require more than an appreciation of metallurgy to fathom the lasting implications they will have. A level of programming literacy is necessary to appreciate their beauty. Gotta admit, after a bit of research, it’s not as though I am fluent in blockchain lingo, or really understand the degree to which a full node differs from a master node.
