I think we're mixing out metaphors here.

You started by wanting a fund to encourage people to read history books. I don't believe that this is the best use of money or time.

As for spreading the philosophy of Bitcoin, it may look slow from your perspective, but, Bitcoin is spreading faster than any other technology or product in history.

The Internet itself, built in 1969, took 20 years to allow commercial traffic on it. Then another 10 to reach the current level of adoption that Bitcoin has.

On a separate ethical note, paying people to correctly answer questions is questionable and ripe for abuse. I think this route would lead to a very, very dark place.

 

 Not a problem I can’t fix, I just do it in the mix

 Why not both? 

 Why not both what? 

 Incentivize self improvement and adoption 

 You get to ask that question if I agree with one of your points, but disagree with the other.

I disagreed with both, so your question is moot. 

 Alright dude. You clearly need a win so you're right. 

 Sure, OK, but I’d prefer a deeply thoughtout discussion.

I was an investor in tech city for nearly 20 years, so this is natural for me. 

Apologies, if I’ve hurt your feelings, I promise that wasn’t my intention.

Also, if you want to start or run a business, take it from an old guy that your hubris needs to take a back seat.

I wish you every success going forward, but please be ready for this type of scrutiny of any idea you raise to angels or VC’s. 

 BTW: My old website still contains lots of advice and help to startups from an investors point of view, feel free to peruse it at your leisure. It should still have some useful information:

 I'm entertaining an idea my guy.  

 Best of luck 🤞
