RE: Peer Review of Cardano's Ouroboros
I don't see nothing wrong with Dan taking on new projects. He's just way too good at designing new systems to be just maintaining one project.
I've heard Jordan Peterson in some video say once that liberal people tend to start companies and conservative people tend to run them. Or something like that. Either way it makes sense to me that some people are just way better at creating new things than maintaining them.
Btw Charles jumps around also, maybe even more.
Right. The different personality types need each other. The high in Openness types are required to create, think up, and launch crazy, disruptive ideas/businesses. But they are not the types to RUN the company once established. This is where the high in Conscientiousness types are needed. Their Orderliness and Industriousness (along with a usually lower openness) make them perfect for saying "OK enough of this crazy brainstorming. Let's get this done, effective, efficient and delivered"
There is IMMENSE value in understanding this. It appears to me Dan understood this around the time he left BitShares. He went from CEO of a company to a CTO and he left once his main added value was delivered.
This is how the world will gain most value from Dan, IMO. We won't benefit from Dan attending business meetings, doing taxes, working on a marketing campaign, etc. We benefit from this guy thinking and building incredible DACs/DAOs and DApps.
great insight
absolutely correct
most have no idea of how important this focus will be
dan make things happen, and manifests - thanks @dan
That is a really good point, @cob. Very well said. This comment nicely pads out the context Ned "colored" in.
The world is not split between open minded liberals and industrious conservatives, that's a blatantly oversimplified dualist fairytale but of course Jordan Peterson would say something like that.
The greats such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg can do both.
Dan is handicapped.
I'm the same. I invent and I'm terrible at maintaining. Many skill sets needed to make the (crypto) world go round.
That's true but I would consider all of crypto to be in a creation phase until 2020.
Maybe he just likes the founder coins.
No question, it's not about judgement in that respect and I hate that sort of judgement.
Dan is the only person I have seen consistently offer his technical views on so many projects.
