Maximum Benefit of the Doubt

"No sanctions" means "game over". The Antigua National Judiciary Vacation Spot and Retirement Fund has been established and Calvin has sponsored the first beneficiary.

The next step in the process is "acceptance". We all have to find a way to explain to our children how the King of Cryptoland got his crown, and why we let it happen. Here are some suggestions for answers to the little ones' tough questions.

Why do people love BSV? It can scale enough to allow each of us to record for all time where on our body a raindrop hit, and when. What's not to love about that? And BSV will grow in price such that each of us can be richer than everyone else. Again, that's a good thing.

Did the King write the White Paper and all the code in 0.1 and all the BitcoinTalk forum posts? That's like asking if Santa Claus makes all the toys he delivers.

Is it okay to plagiarize and forge one's way to the top? Look, Abraham Lincoln ate dog food. Albert Einstein entangled his quantum probe where he shouldn't have. Jesus marred some tables at the Temple. But we still admire and glorify their accomplishments, just as we admire and glorify the accomplishments of Kim Kardashian. Who among us doesn't have some weird little hobbies that make us happy and don't hurt anyone?

How do patents and open source and decentralization all simultaneously coexist? Going back to Kardashian and Einstien and Lincoln, the answer will involve patent leather, and patent offices, and restoring the decentralized states under one centralized Union, and the nonexistence of simultaneity. Hell, throw in event horizons and tell the little bastards to go play some video games.

It's a kids' world now. It has face masks and Craig and no Little League and a huge national debt. It's our job to help them get through it. Let's stop being selfish.
