Sometimes when people can’t see the entire path ahead turn for turn, they start to doubt the destination even exists
Discussion
Do you think I shouldn't have asked the questions I did? Do you think my desire to learn and understand was not a good enough reason to ask what everyone else thinks is a stupid question? What do you think I should have done instead?
I don’t see anything wrong with asking questions in good faith, which i believe you did, although my opinion of your curiosity doesn’t really matter. That is why i (hopefully!) wasn’t shitting you in my comment as some seem to have been.
But since you want my opinion on it, i would say you might’ve been a little confused or misdirected judging by the mention of a central committee to determine bitcoin’s value. Guy’s response above is great i think. No hard feelings over here whatsoever 🤙
Yeah, I realize I might have come across as a little too aggressive with my tone, but I stand by everything I wrote despite that. I get tired of seeing variations of the same memes and hype quotes recycled on a daily basis and want to take part in some more focused discussion from time to time.
It's pretty interesting to me that the committee thing has been commented on several times. I think that people misunderstood me there... there's clearly a significant amount of sensitivity to even an implication of such a thing in the community. I was just writing the random musings in my head, I never wanted to imply that a committee of any kind is *actually* needed.
Of course, i didn’t take it as any kind of recommendation personally. The very concept of it is kind of silly though
I totally commend your pursuit of more focused discussions too. This one just wasn’t received the way you were, which is never fun for the asker, but ultimately no one’s gonna hold a grudge for it. And if they do that person’s just a dick 😂
were *hoping
Stupid questions are the most important question of all because they're the only questions that show how badly we've communicated our ideas.
Every question is a learning opportunity, especially dumb ones. Not asking dumb questions saves momentary embarrassment at the expense of growth. That’s why they say there’s no such thing as a dumb question (as long as it’s in good faith)
