According to society’s assumptions and presumptions on how one should “fit in”, I have always been a “misfit” - or put more accurately by some - “the unorthodox one in the mix”.

Thankfully because of that I was in a position to read and grasp the white paper when it was released - and read it 3 times since. Those days folks would laugh at anyone who got involved in this discussion - many for the most part genuinely hadn’t got a clue and others passed it off as “fake”. LMAO.

Looking back at it now - other than my internet interconnections of passing emails back and forth as well as exchanges inside certain IRC Forums and Chats - I think my father is the only person who I really knew back then who also read it and believed in the capabilities being put forward.

…and 👀 at where we are today - basically sixteen years later - and we are definitely still early…😁
