The naysayers - who neither understood the spirit in which the thread was first posted, nor did they understand the nature of the topic being discussed - aren’t going to allow the people who are <em>already</em> invested and interested to have a friendly discussion about it without ridiculing them, or as happened to me, impugning their character and motives with a scurrilous and vile accusation. I suppose that debby-downers are necessary to all ecosystems, but at this point, I think a moderator ought to lock the thread. This is my last post in it. I hope that those who wrecked it for the rest of us with their negativity and ridicule don’t object when I return the favor in their own threads down the road, as such an objection might constitute a level of hypocrisy that would definitely need to be pointed out in those threads. Maybe then they might lose some of their social tone-deafness and rediscover a respect for the dignity of others.

So with that, I’m going to contact the moderator for this forum and ask that the thread be locked.

Exactly. That’s why China is not going anywhere. They were relatively early adopters, and they’ll stay in because it is good for them.

Another off the crypto currency.

Yep. It's like trying to have a conversation about AK47s and all I'm hearing is how crap it is and can't possibly be a good rifle.

Well, I should clarify that I got TAM introduced to crypto a few weeks ago and it's been gratifying see someone "get it" (the gains he has mentioned are all his own work, btw - I simply showed him the mechanics) - and he's seen my own (astonishing, if I may say so myself) gains.

I would like to think that the content of our respective characters are well-known here and would count for something, but I guess not, so, to paraphrase someone famous: "Y'all do what you like; I'm going to Texas".

I'm done.
