On Cyptocurrency = Exchange of Electrons Concepts

" An Electron is an elementary particle that is a fundamental constituent of matter, having a negative charge of 1.602 × 10 −19 coulombs, a mass of 9.108 × 10 −31 kilograms, and spin of ½, and existing independently or as the component outside the nucleus of an atom. So it is there." @knight1fox3

"I've been tempted to over the past year or so, but just cant get over the fact that you're buying electrons.  There is nothing there.  That said I'll keep thinking about it, but I'm pretty sure we are all a few years to late.  Its got to come crashing down and soon." @goodal

Attitude of Manager

The attitude of our managers vividly contrasts with that of the young man who married a tycoon's only child, a decidedly homely and dull lass. Relieved, the father called in his new son-in-law after the wedding and began to discuss the future:

Father: "Son, you're the boy I always wanted and never had. Here's a stock certificate for 50% of the company. You're my equal partner from now on."

Son-in-law: "Thanks, dad."

Father: "Now, what would you like to run? How about sales?"

Son-in-law: "I'm afraid I couldn't sell water to a man crawling in the Sahara."

Father: "Well then, how about heading human relations?"

Son-in-law: "I really don't care for people."

Father: "No problem, we have lots of other spots in the business. What would you like to do?"

Son-in-law: "Actually, nothing appeals to me. Why don't you just buy me out?"

No need to do deals all the time to justify that you are doing something

"When a chief executive officer is encouraged by his advisers to make deals, he responds much as would a teenage boy who is encouraged by his father to have a normal sex life. It's not a push he needs." - Warren Buffett
