RE: The r0ach report 24: Bitcoin has involuntarily turned many programmers into conmen
I absolutely agree that one of the most important jobs of a programmer is being to tell the difference between solvable and unsolvable problems. Far too often the inexperienced developer is tempted to start coding as soon as they get excited about an idea.
The main problem right now is there are far too many people who pretend that just because things like bitcoin still exist and haven't died yet, that somehow justifies it as a successful experiment. It was released as an experiment, claimed to be decentralized, and got more centralized by the day. So if anything, by most metrics, the damn experiment failed.
