Dilbert Joins The ICO Frenzy (Well, Not Dilbert, But Scott Adams, His Creator)
If you live on the planet Earth, chances that you have seen at least once a Dilbert comics are pretty high. 

It's the bald, square guy with funny hairs on the sides. I won't post images with him because I don't know the rights, and Scott Adams seems to be serious about selling the rights to use his creation (and I appreciate that about him, I mean, not selling himself short).

And I'm not going to talk about his famous comics character either. Instead, I'm gonna let you know that Scott Adams, in a piece on his blog which received rather cold comments from his loyal followers, announced he is part of a blockchain project, called [WhenHub](http://blog.dilbert.com/post/166854928621/whenhub-saft-simple-agreement-for-future-tokens).

It's not yet clear what it does, there are too many hyped words in the copy - like dapp, blockchain, saft, ico, etc - but at first sight looks like it tries to build some sort of a chat between professionals. Anyways, I may have skimmed through it a bit too fast, but, to be honest, I wasn't very impressed.

Probably the most interesting part of the article is in the introduction:

> If those words look unfamiliar, one of the biggest technical revolutions the world has ever known is sneaking up on you. The folks in Silicon Valley – who live about three years in the future compared to the rest of the country – can’t stop talking about this topic.

I really liked the "who live about three years in the future compared to the rest of the country" part. 

That may mean, among other things, that Silicon Valley already got rid of Trump.

Would be nice if he threw his support from his following onto some other cryptocurrency. I was hoping maybe a blockchain to help fund new comic creators, but hey. As I keep saying any press is good press.

Truth be told, that's the best they can do. There's  a Hungarian proverb, roughly translates as "smarts let off, while donkeys suffer".

It means that more often than not, the wise decision in a conflict is to stop struggling. Trump is elected, he won't go anywhere at this point (only time will tell, at least), the best skulls of the country are better moving on and do what they are the best at: building our future.

[sidenote: whenever I see Trump even on Steem, I mute the person (unless he's **really* engaging) in order to keep up my mental balance.]

Moreover, long-term strategies are often more stable and persistent than quick gains. The effect of blockchain technology is going to be present when Trump is long gone.

Hahaha, I like that touch at the end of the article, of politics! It is most likely that these guys in Silicon Valley are anticipating too the switch to blockchain based technologies which would be great. Nice article! Sorry, I started work as a usual monday, and did not had the time to comment on the other posts meanwhile, and I don't like to make that kind of comments as *Nice* or *Good job* :) anyway, good job!
