…d have half an ounce of hustle, a degree is a bad investment compared to your other options. But if you’re so lazy and uncreative that you’re incapable of building a better signal, buying the “I’m average” …

Think of it being two highways: Today, Bitcoin is packed full of cars and Litecoin is empty. Even with Bitcoin packed, the cars are not coming to use the Litecoin highway today because it’s not connected and it’s inconvenient (centralized exchanges and slow on-chain transfers) to go across. LN will build bridges over the highways. But a side benefit is that these bridges will connect both highways together. Maybe the bridges on Bitcoin are enough such that cars will still stay on the Bitcoin highway. My bet is that the convenience and the cheaper tolls on Litecoin highway will convince cars to cross over and use Litecoin. But we won’t know until both are built.

So. This is a post about degrees. I met my wife on a campus, but guess what? After I flirtily said “Hi”, she didn’t ask, “Are you current on tuition payments?”. You can have every single element of the college experience — including sitting in classrooms — without registering or paying a dime in tuition. No one does, because they’re there for the paper, not the “intangibles”. You want the parties? Move to a college town. You want a cool career? Do some real work.
