Great discussion guys!!
I think it's too early to speculate what the next few years are going to look like, but I do agree that Bitcoin is quickly becoming a dinosaur (and isn't that kind of hilarious?) Neither of you mentioned EOS or Peerplay. I'm also looking at Tauchain and BosChain...I think it is possible that within a few years, self-governing AI will take over the responsibility of proof and adapt to whatever demands are needed for the next generation of interface. I saw a funny thing about Plantoid. Not too far off.
Have a great one guys!! Following you both!! Thanks for spreading the knowledge and optimism!!!
