This whole thing would make an incredible TV series.
The early days, the ninja mine, Ned and Dan falling out, the forks, the reduction in inflation, linear rewards, reduction in power downs. Fumbled hardforks, outages and replays, the layoffs, Ned handing the reins to Eli; the sale; communities, the softfork....

I try to keep my finger on the pulse; but I feel like I'm 3 layers from the epicentre.
When the dust settles I'd love to spend a long weekend binge-watching the back story.
