AMA’s are fantastic mainly because they tend to show the ridiculous side of human beings in a raw and unfiltered way.
I just discovered BlockGeeks on Twitter because they create amazing infographics on a regular basis. I found myself on the Ethereum blockchain today, contemplating whether or not to bet on some fish in the game, http://pray4prey.com/. Before buying some ETH for fish betting on the blockchain, I got distracted and found out that Vitalik Buterin had just finished his AMA on the blockgeeks.com website.
For your amusement, I have picked out the most absurd questions that Vitalik was asked today at his AMA.
You’ll notice that Vitalik, of course didn't answer any of the following questions:
Do all the ladies follow you around now that you are famous? How often are you recognized randomly in public?
How many Ethereum developers does it take to change a lightbulb?
When do you plan to retire?
Do you think Golem rocks?
Is it fun your dad is also a blockchain geek, or do you sometimes wish he was a chef or carpenter?
Have you ever done mushrooms, man?
And, hands down, here was the most entertaining question Vitalik was asked:
Is Ethereum a scam? Are you a shill for Goldman Sachs? )))
Is Ethereum a scam?
Yes.
Are you a shill for Goldman Sachs? )))
I can’t believe you fall for such fake news you disgusting shill. Morgan Stanley would never dishonor themselves so much as to not outbid Goldman by at least a factor of 2.
IN CASE YOU WERE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING MORE SUBSTANTIAL
- Do you have any personal heroes or individuals you admire (either related or unrelated to the work you do)?
Can’t think of a good answer for this.
Read the entire AMA from blockgeeks.com here: http://blockgeeks.com/ama/vitalik-buterin-ama-ask-anything/
There are some really good topics discussed here like Proof of Stake, the role of quantum computing in the future and ideas about governance. Of course, I didn't focus on those. Instead I zeroed in on the absurdity of the AMA experience.
Then, of course, there was a considerable amount of new information which I will need to study in order to even grasp what was discussed.
