Forum tools only allow for 20 options in a poll so I needed to split them up and add 2 polls, good luck to the winner! Please vote on only one box, if two votes from the same user are observed then both votes will be disqualified if the user does not specify who they actually want to win by the end of the voting period.
The following is my own submission (hope it helps serve as an example of sorts).
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.- Helen Keller
This correlates to the price of cryptocurrency and how the price of bitcoin is up and down all the time, its also my favorite quote that I apply to life in general.
Can also be applied to the up and downs of developing a platform such as
Advice I follow in my own life everytime I try to help someone with the knowledge I have, and that would serve well for Cardano with its theoretical framework that is still far from implementation.
Who voted?? I inserted the poll so that everyone knew what was going on and how the votes would be tallied, yet all entryâs are not in yet so please hold on to your vote for awhile, and thanx for voting for me!
âI am so Americanized that I can walk in the streets without raising my head to look at the skyscrapers. I sit in a restaurant on very high chairs like in futuristic movie sets and use a straw to sip âfruit cocktails.â The only thing left for me is to rise, which I am doing with my characteristic straight-line decisiveness.â ~ Ayn Rand
The crypto market has stopped looking up it has become âAmericanized.â
The only thing left now is for Cardano to rise, through its specific leadership.
âTHATâS NOT QUITE RIGHT, I BELIEVE YOUR CONJECTURE IS SLIGHTLY ORTHOGONAL TO REALITYâ Duncan Coutts PhD
ORTHOGONAL
Used to describe two things that are independent of each other. One does not imply the other.
CONJECTURE
an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information.
A brief description on how the quote can draw a correlation to crypto:
The correlation that Iâm drawing pertains to voting on the blockchain. Charles himself has said that âthe voting system needs to be built in a way that could sleigh the demon of rational ignorance.â Charles has mention in one of his talks that his family has been in healthcare for 70 years, and have devoted their lives to becoming domain experts in this field.Their vote counts exactly the same as his vote does, and as does the hobo on the street that has never though of it. âWhat is the incentive as a regular everyday citizen to get that level of mastery and expertise about that topic if the reward at the end of the rainbow is that you get the same privilege. The incentive to be informed on the things we are voting on has to be less than the value.â
not sure if the quote satisfies the first guideline
Quote must be from a source that is 10 years older than the start of bitcoin
Another quote that can be used with the same correlation;
âMen give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have lies in this; when I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort that I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought.â
Interesting point I fully agree, but youâre also right: This quote is not old enough.
However Iâm sure there is something that can be found in our history covering this expert-voting topic.
âMen give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have lies in this; when I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort that I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought.â
Wir, die guten Willens sind
gefĂźhrt von Ahnungslosen
versuchen fĂźr die Undankbaren
das UnmĂśgliche zu vollbringen
Wir haben so viel mit so wenig
so lange versucht, dass wir jetzt
qualifiziert sind, fast alles
mit nichts zu bewältigen.
We, the ones with goodwill
lead by the clueless
try to accomplish the impossible
for the thankless
Weâve tried so much
with so little for so long
that weâre now qualified
to cope with almost everything
with nothing.
Correlation to Crypto:
Satoshi and all fellow programmers had a vision in their minds. This vision wasnât driven by money or power or materialism. It was to solve a problem. Unselfishly. They were the goodwill incarnation.
People of power usually get advice of whats cool and what not. Almost no intrinsic interest is detectable in the leaders of most countries. Same goes for the masses of the people. Information overflow with trash tv and youtube start page. The clueless
Virtual money is a vision. It empowers the ordinary people and gives them their dignity, freedom, self-determination back. On the other hand it can fuel another industrial revolution. The revolution of the people with good sense. Who want to live peaceful and in harmony with mother nature. The Impossible
Traders, FUDers, Neurotics, Impatient, When-Stake-ers - The ones who donât care about the greater mission. The ones who want to make a quick buck to satisfy their emotion but donât fathom that good things need patience, and hope and the resilience against pain to grow into something unique. The Thankless
It took 10 Years to come to this point. And people are still gloomily. The brightest minds around the world are trying to solve the puzzle of staking. Will it be a bearded man from Georgia who will finally solve it? How will we remember him? The Edision of Crypto? Satoshi is the Einstein of Crypto - thatâs for sure. Tried so much
It werenât banks. It werenât corporations. It werenât multi-million dollar businesses who created and grew crypto. It were some nerds. Some geeks who lived in the basement of their mother, donât realizing that they are going to change the world forever. They used their laptops and old graphics cards to mine bitcoin. Not supercomputers at some unknown test site.
It is just a few lines of code which can change the world. So Little
Everybody said it was a scam. Donât do it. The first ones tried to transfer some money to Japan to buy some coins at Mt. Gox. It took weeks and tons of patience to get it on. The Crypto people had so much patience. When their accounts got hacked, when their coin lost most of its value. Iâm in of the tech - and if I get rich on the way to winning - good. Who knew what the internet would be in 1995? Did you imagine that you can buy some tokens, transfer them to your favourite camgirl and make the egg in her panty vibrate? You did? You nerd. For so Long
There is no college who trains blockchain artists. There is no course you can major in âHow to change the worldâ, there is no roadmap of how did the ancestors build their blockchain. You have you. And you have hope. Hope for good leadership. Hope for good judgement and to match the future needs. Weâre now Qualified.
Doesnât matter if the price drops to 0.00. We wonât sell. We believe in crypto. In my country there is fear because of the possibility of the government to ban cash. I feared this to. But not anymore. With crypto you can keep your paper. The blackout, the hyperinflation, the war can come - because there was a second thing created to what nobody canât take from us. To cope with almost Everything
To make it work, we donât need much. Bank the unbanked.
Fish for your village and you will make them survive. Teach them how to fish and they will never starve again.
There isnât much we need. No big coorperations. Only some guys in a decentralized network who gain more sustainability than a 105 Year old institution. But weâre all alone with the responsibility. This should make us humble. We should think about whats right. And what not. And we should take a deeper look into things if they seem to be easy. Finally we should choose the path of asceticism. At least a little bit. With Nothing
I am by heritage a Jew, by citizenship a Swiss, and by makeup a human being, and only a human being, without any special attachment to any state or national entity whatsoever.
Being present in each moment as it comes by,
Hearing even my own heartbeat,
Even now in the midst of silence,
Most people are scared of this journey.
Without the slightest idea of how breathtaking it would be.
Itâs an experience that knows no bounds.
What better way can we stay CONNECTED.
Even to ourself,
In a decentralized manner of thoughts.
A feeling backed by multiple powerful yet energetic emotions.
A gateway to millions of untapped ideas.
Welcome to a more secure and trustworthy state.
Welcome to CARDANO
Like a lonely mountain peak, or rather, like the spire of a cathedral, rise the men of high talent and of genius above the broad mass of mediocrity. The number of the highly gifted is at all events so small that it is impossible that âmanyâ such can have been kept back in lower classes through the incompleteness of social institutions. --Otto Ammon
I will not mention the high probability of Cardanoâs success compare to other Blockchains. Emphasize your thoughts on Cardanoâs economic traits and the projects ability to bring out quality talent.
