That's great, but we don't want to allow them to game the system. The idea is that they're rewarded for having people show up.

Note: I'll refer to DTL as blockchain for ease of understanding Also note: I don't think all of these ledgers need to be validated distributedly in order to have the same kind of value

A lot of blockchain enthusiasts say the same thing about companies adopting the blockchain in an 'unched' way.

I'd say blockchains are more akin to AR/VR or AI in that they absolutely are valuable and they undoubtedly are the future, but the technology isn't there. The difference with blockchains is that, rather than the technology not being there, it's simply the innovation that isn't.

There is clearly a market ready and willing for adoption, and there always will be. That's just the power of 'cryptoeconomic incentive'.

Stocks seem to work well enough.

There's no way to control price to USD, but you can control tokens to metrics. To use bitcoin as an example, say I'm holding 1 bitcoin and the metrics go up n. That coin pops out x satoshi. Metrics go down n and I lose x satoshi.

Anyway, I clearly have no idea how it would work. But it clearly can work; people are willing to find these tokens valuable.

Something I think is true that most people disagree with is that the importance of distributed-ledger technology is simply how it utilizes ledgers to create these tokens as an alternative to currency.

Stock prices are affected by metrics but the goal is to always monetize these metrics. Attributing a token to them turns them into an ends to monetization rather than just a means.

There's problems to solve going from there, but yeah I think going from unlockng value from users to unlocking value directly from use is a revolutionary shift.

During a record year of questionable ICO's (itself creating a vacuum for the non-questionable variety)?

You're definitely going against the wind with that bet.

Dancing on chairs is fun and all, but I'd love to see the video of this interview..

How would something like this work? Would there be keywords you input into the extension? etc

I've got no real input other than it would be awesome to get Larry Page. I'm likely in the 1% of the 1% in terms of how many founder stories I've listened to or watched, and I'm not tired of it yet. A good story can come from the most random places. Though I appreciate good intro music so there's a suggestion.

When would you expect to start airing?

None.

Healthy social time would depend on how well you get along with the people.

I'd say a majority of time would with someone / people you get along very well with would be the most healthy.

I had the chance to buy one yesterday morning and I didn't take it up. That was my first hearing about it and I gotta say, beyond resell value I don't see the appeal of this thing.

You can make a smaller NES with a Pi Zero and rented time on a 3D printer. I don't think people would have a problem trading use of cartridges for a much larger, cross platform selection.

Is this a business opportunity?

Smart people should never have to feel ashamed for what they know. The other day I - as an underemployed 24 year old teaching myself software development - was at the cafe of a software company. Some guy was telling his coworker that in the near future we may have patches that read our temperature and heartrate throughout the day (I'm thinking contact lenses). He's coworker answered with a sarcastic "Okay..?" and pretty much had nothing to say on the subject. I've been that guy. People are intimidated by things they don't know the same way a baby is intimidated by the cup without a sippy lid. You have to train them to let them know they're able to use the cup and sadly society at large hasn't trained themselves to accept new information.

Cold world but I'm sure there's a way to go about it that inspires more awe than resent.
