Wow. I could have written this and every word would still hold.
I think the one thing that was clear to me is that this Vitalik guy was some kind of genius. But, still I didn't buy/mine.
I wish my coding skills had been better at the time and that I had looked into the code (and not just the whitepaper which is kinda like a fairytale to me) and realized its value.
Were you at the creepy house on Spadina too? If so, we may have met. I only went a handful of times, but if you really scouted them out the good people there were fascinating. I wish I'd kept in touch.
I went to an Ethereum Hackathon and wasn't convinced at the time, that is why I passed. Hopefully/probably their technology has matured since then, but I stopped following their progress.
