I did read the steem whitepaper before signing up. The bits that were in English were easy enough to understand, there was some maths but I couldn't make sense out of it (because my brain is mildly defective, I can't say how sound the maths was XD) I don't remember any of it now XD

I'm still amused by your swing from "let's not have too much crypto chat in this channel as it's everywhere else already" to I'M TOO EXCITED TO WRITE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE ATM XD
