I'm usually cleverly disguised as a rational adult. I have to come out of character when I confront an irrational world. The irrationality really shows through when you have an out-of-money experience & a client wants to buy your services, but wants you to sell them something that you don't believe in. You really have to think twice before saying nothing.
So I was evaluating algorithms to trade crypto. Do you do the DEX & smart contract route that can have consequences like front-running & bully-buying because someone else allotted a larger amount of gas that got the smart contract to execute their order before yours?
Then it dawned on me. What if the current crop of crypto-currency goes the way of the dodo bird? What if the Winkelvoss twins hire a Harvard drop-out to write new crypto-currency paradigms & the programmer goes off on his own and invents a brand new crytpo-currency that doesn't need a few minutes for proof of work, or who's virtual machine node fits on a mobile phone. Then the holders of all of the ERC20s will be fubarred - & broke, just like the hodlers who bought more BTC at $9100. What if you had a crypto that was chain-agnostic? Holy Crap - I was seeing the future. But the feeling passed. I think it was gas
