@zundan !
People afraid of engineers with deep understanding of cryptography and network society just like medieval people afraid of witch.

@zundan 魔女を恐れる中世の人々と同じように、暗号やネットワーク社会に造詣の深い技術者を恐れる人々。

@zundan ビットを金に変えるのは科学と数学ですが、私の意見では、人々はそれを「魔法」だと思って私たちを魔女と呼んでもいいよ

@Sujiyan Sorry being unclear in the first place. I just personally feel so sad to see a huge amount of money and engineering efforts being wasted on NFTs and smart contracts that are, in my view, totally scam.

@zundan yes a lot of scams especially with most venture capitalists.
Very few of them are willing to do real donations or development.
There’re several Japanese team/ engineers I have worked with and have lots of respect

@zundan also the investment to fundamental infra is very … rare.
I mean academic research of cryptography and game theory etc .

@octopus あ、なるほど。僕は現代の錬金術を詐欺と言いましたが、当時の努力を指しているのなら詐欺とは限らないかもしれないですね。
