I’m With Gilfoyle

The Blockchain Battlecry

There are few things I believe in in this world - Free speech, free love,

If you’re standing idly by as you wait for the release of the @hardfork-series, I’ve got some good news in the meantime. Watch Silicon Valley, from beginning to end. It might not be the dystopic sci-fi future you’ve been waiting for but take my word that it will interest anyone and everyone in the cryptosphere.

Heed the warnings. Just go and watch it. Do it. Gather all your friends and relatives that store banknotes under their mattresses. We’ll talk about it more later.

(Mild) SPOILERS AHEAD

So it’s happening. I’ve posted about this a few times in the past, trying to project my own ambitions onto their project for a decentralized internet and it’s finally happening. They’ve officially announced their embrace and pursuit of a cryptocurrency as a utility in their internet product. The show has come a long way since its original penile jokes of “middle-out.”

I still despise the character of Richard Hendricks and the show just isn’t the same without TJ Miller’s ridiculous accent behind “Aviato,” but I have to give big kudos to the writers who have woven a very probable and very believable inception of a blockchain system, one that seems so needed in the world today.

If you’re pining to see the full slideshow by Gilfoyle, you’ll be happy to hear that the full powerpoint is available to the public and is actually a very well-tailored historical perspective on money and why cryptocurrency is a viable solution.

Anyway, if you have seen the season/episode in question, let's discuss! What are the implications of this? Is HBO alluding to something? Will Jian Yang ever come back with a vengeance?
