RE: Impressive ideas from Craig Wright, Bitcoin is Turing complete

in #bitcoin7 years ago

The reason I like his lectures is he is very logical. While I might not agree with some of his opinions, his theoretical foundation and basis are there. A lot of people criticize Craig Wright for his personality, or the way he communicates, or his politics, but one thing no one has been able to deny is that as a computer scientist, cybersecurity expert and mathematician, everything he says is based in the theory.

If you open a computer science freshman textbook you learn about pushdown automata. If you open a cybersecurity freshman textbook you learn about Bayes and risk management. If you open an economic textbook you learn about markets and if you open a networking textbook you'll learn about small world, mesh, etc.

None of what he has said is inaccurate. His ideas on PSOs aren't inaccurate, I just don't see the practicality of some of his work. I think running simulations and models using PSOs makes a lot of sense if you're thinking about multi-agent systems and how they scale via "survival of the fittest" in an economic sense but again is it practical?
