The idea of uploading human consciousness is fantasy.

There is no scientific basis for such technology. Never in history has consciousness ever been "transferred" anywhere.

The best you can hope for is the creation of an AI that creates a pleasing, if imperfect, facsimile of your personality. In other words, you would be building a robot who acts like you, in a few respects.

That so many rich people can fall for this ruse is reason enough to understand why a new generation of wealthy individuals need to rise (and cryptocurrency facilitates this).
