Thanks for the upvote and intelligent comment. $.20 isn't much, but when steem hits $100 you could treat yourself to a steak dinner;)

On the topic of great ideas, I think there is an element of an idea having it's "time". Using bitcoin as an example, microprocessors, distributed computers, ledgers and cryptography have all been around for decades. However, when someone thought to put them all together, they got Bitcoin.

Oswald Spengler, my favorite philosopher, who authored "The Decline of the West", argumented about humans beings having to be "in shape" or "in good form", in order to grasp ideas and oppotunities that are preexistent, but need an ideal vessel to express them.

I think one "vessel" is the need to solve a problem. Proof of Stake was a meaningless concept 10 years ago, because there were no blockchains hence no Proof of Work algorithms. In this era of blockchains, Proof of Work is a tedious, expensive process and it is now easier to envision how Proof of Stake can be an improvement.

Taking it a step further, there are even a handful of true visionaries whose ideas bordered on magic in their time; Tesla, Edison and Jules Verne

I spend a lot of time searching for the next great idea and it was rewarding to be appreciated for my quest.
