Hi Marc, I read the Denial of Death after your recommendation and it was great. What other seminal books would you recommend everyone reads in order to understand themselves and life in general?

p.s. Boomer Lives!

ETH has been talking about the switch for years now. I support their science project. Just to manage the transition itself seems like a gargantuan task, I will be watching with curiosity. And afterwards, if they do indeed transition, I think everyone including me will be very curious about how this will work out. Because there are no precedents, so to say that it's "only a matter of time..." is just plain wishful thinking.

Bitcoin mining is a relatively young industry and has been growing at an insane rate, especially since the last big upswing at the end of 2017. Just like the price, the mining distribution is evolving rapidly, and is driven by cheap energy and energy innovation, rather than a quid-pro-quo cartel behavior.

What's keeping you awake at night?

At this point, Nano and other delegated proof of stake coins are a science experiment. Maybe it will work for some use cases, but as any election system, it is corruptable and can easily lead to cartels and oligarchies, as we've seen in the case of another dPoS projects (EOS, Steemit etc...).

Bitcoin on the other hand, has proven itself in the most adversarial conditions over 10 years and counting, and it's secured by the laws of thermodynamics. Which one would you trust with your money?
