“Where did this thing come from? How do you build, in four years the fastest hashing supercomputer on the planet. Completely without anyone noticing. Honestly most of the world, outside of this room. How many people on the MIT campus know that the fastest computer in the world, if you allow for hashing, is the bitcoin network. It’s not just fast, its thousand of times faster then all of the top supercomputers put together. In 2014 during ‘the worst year for bitcoin’ 500 startups received 500 million in investment generating tens of thousand of jobs and none of that innovation has come back yet because they just started.” Andreas Antonopoulos | via reddit
