But yeah, probably.

A lot of my friends from high school have part-time jobs / intern over the summer at the startups/companies from where around I used to live...
But I don't live there anymore. And I'm kind of hesitant to move back to Sunnyvale (It is the most boring, soul-sucking place on earth) so I guess that doesn't really count for anything.
Meh.

cheesylard | 12 years ago | on: Bitcoin – How high can it go?
I wasn't going to waste my time on this, but after skimming for 20 seconds I came to this:
> In many ways, Litecoin is looking like a better investment. For Litecoin it is still early days because the infrastructure is not quite there. However, it looks to be a more promising currency from the technical standpoint, e.g., allowing faster transactions and a longer time until the end of the mining cycle.
Faster confirmations DON'T MEAN SHIT. Just because it takes 2.5 minutes for a Litecoin confirmation doesn't mean it is any better. Yeah, a Litecoin confirmation is 4x faster than a Bitcoin confirmation, but all that means is that a Litecoin confirmation is 1/4 as secure as a Bitcoin confirmation. Which is actually worse, when you think about it because the blockchain is more bloated.
>Its current market capitalization is $215 million, giving a factor of 45 potential growth to simply catch up with Bitcoin.
Are you fucking serious?

I grew up there. I feel like I was deprived of a childhood. I moved away a couple of years ago and am never going back. You have nothing but sprawled out office parks, rich internet tycoons, a police force with nothing to do, helicopter parents, and soccer moms. The thing that topped it all off was the super competitive vibe amongst the peers and parents. I would not recommend living there under any circumstances.

But then again, how can I say something like that when I dropped out of school myself? :P
