1 - While in the shower, Ned decided he was a post blockchain nihilist


Haha - in all seriousness...

I just finished watching the live-stream interview. I really enjoyed this style of interview, and can only imagine how much better it must have been live in Lisbon. It's always great to hear directly from the CEO himself.

@ned - Hopefully there are no hard feelings from this post ;)

@robertmannino

We're post blockchain nihlists. We believe in nothing. Give us the steem Nedowski or we'll cut off your johnson.

Now your talking !!

I watched the stream and loved the interview! He made me laugh and it was very informative. Ned makes me even prouder to be a Stemian!

Very true and he is Kickin Ass
Steem On !!!
Thank you

I enjoyed it too. I couldn't help but laugh at a few of those lines.

I spent most of the interview wishing I was there! A whole room full of my super heroes....it would be an amazing place to be!

HAHA. Nice. I hope he becomes a blockchain titan and brings STEEM to the stratosphere. I'm banking on it.

You and I both :)

I enjoyed watching the interview. Made me proud.

It was a great interview.

I watched the stream and loved the interview!

Lurk, what a funny word when you think about it

post blockchain nihilist
Okay, @ned you gonna need to explain that. What's a post blockchain nihilist?

I'm guessing it means he only cares if it works and can scale. A lot of people hold onto irrational beliefs about blockchains that stem from the early-days of crypto. The ideals are good but they get in the way of progress, as can be seen with this insane focus on Bitcoin over actually viable coins like Steem, Ethereum, and Bitshares. Even Ethereum has this to some degree.

Bitcoin is superior to all of the coins you enumerated due to economic reasons, putting aside engineering reasons.

No... Bitcoin is inferior due to economic reasons. You cannot separate the two.

Why is bitcoin inferior according to you?

16 Tps (not enough for even a single app), 10 min. block times + 6 confirmations = 60 minutes to security, no way to find consensus on development and funding, it's riskier, it's less decentralized, it has no inherent use case backing its value (as the other coins do), and it is essentially crypto-fiat. The updates it has had are marginal at best, and it had to go through months of fork drama. These other coins can make a decision and fix problems in less than 20 minutes.

These are mostly engineering reasons, not economic.
Bitcoin is a deflationary currency, the other coins you mentioned are assured to lose value over time.
Every crypto is a crypto-fiat, and I read that Bitcoin could enable smart contracts in the future.

I don't think you understand economics - you literally cannot separate the two. To say they're different is incredibly ignorant. There is no underlying value because it only does one unimpressive thing. Other coins can scale and have real services backing them now. Would you invest in a company that could scale and provide you value now, or a company that might possibly be able to scale in 5 years while businesses switch away? And by the way Bitshares and even Steem are far less inflationary than Bitcoin.

Wow!!!! 6 - Ned made a platform for people to express their feelings 😁

@ned is making a big name for himself.
I would like to grow up and be like @ned
Thank you
@robertmannino

Ned has become some sort of celebrity when someone like you starting to note down mediocre things of him like this, haha

Ha, I'm guessing the hard feelings will be had when many Steemian responders ask "Who's Ned!" lol

))) NEeD a link on this interview

that guy sounds weird.. is he ok now?

Of course he's OK.

This was simply poking fun at a few sound bytes.

Great Information sir 😀

It was good to listen to @ned, it was a wonderful and joyful interview.

Good job! Thanks to @martin.mikes you have planted 0.05 tree to save Abongphen Highland Forest in Cameroon. Help me to plant 1,000,000 trees and share my Steem Power to the others. Selfvoting is prohibited, but that should be the reason to spread the world to protect our precious environment. Check out profile of our conservation association @kedjom-keku and the founder/coordinator @martin.mikes to get more information about our conservation program. My current SP is 14273.39. Help me to plant more trees with your delegated SP.

Thanks a lot,
your @treeplanter

@treeplanter great goals you have and awesome program.
Thank you
@robertmannino

lol. quite the summary. would be interesting to compare to the full version...

You did a great job, Andrew!

Cheers Wade!

Good information and thank you for sharing
@robertmannino

Actually I think you didnt give him a hard time at all. I am the guy that said that there is an elephant in the room. There are some serious issues and problems with steemit and he just brushed them off. For example, why isnt he using his steem power by delegating responsibly to support promotion of steemit? there are many other issues including the power people with money have etc

@ned also has "A Vision in a Dream".

very good your post .. go through my blog and if you like you give me a vote ..

LOL!

Wow.its very nice

Hahah! #4 is both hilarious and creepy.

Haha. Yeah, that might have been my favourite.

Okay now that's one hell of a post lol.

Nice post
Happy new year

Lol damn ned memes payout ;)
