The only reason I think Charles and ADA won't be market leaders is because he is just too much of an idealist. Brilliant guy. Very confident in his own thoughts. For better or for worse.,(reply>), @Cryptocrunch if you're going to reject my description of an idealist then you need to provide your own.<br><br>I don't care how he feels about other technologies. I don't deny the guy knows more about this space than I ever will. But my take, and many other peoples' opinion of him is that he is an arrogant idealist. And I offer his comments on peoples' congratulatory remarks as further evidence. He says, I paraphrase, "no one congratulated me when we finished this big project, but they did when ADA hit $1. And that disheartens me" BUT WHY!? ITS A CURRENCY!? One that the holders of, all the believers in the project, all the very people he claims he wants to help. All those people want, and should expect that currency to go up if he cares for it to be a success. At the bare minimum it should remain stable against other currencies during periods of high volatility. <br><br>That is, unless there is more to the story of the ADA price then we know?,(reply>), @Drew Greene That is not what an idealist is, and certainly not what Charles is either. He has already on that podcast said that he wants to use some technology from Polkadot. He also praises many projects, and computer scientists... Charles just says things how they are without filter.,(reply>), @Cryptocrunch Just because some has crazy ideas, that doesn't make this an idealist. An idealist is one who thinks that only the perfect inception of something, based on the individual's own vision,would suffice,, and anything less would be a failure.<br><br>This doesn't describe Elon, Steve, Bill, or any successful entrepreneur that I know of.,(reply>), @Cryptocrunch bruh. Those guys were all pragmatist. For example, Elon Musk HATES taking companies public, yet he took tesla public in order to save it. <br><br>Edison was pragmatic, Tesla was an idealist. Who's system won out?,(reply>), Elon, Jeff, Bill and Steve were all idealists, and executed on their vision.
