Agree, it was a far fetched analogy, but just wanted to build (cha-chin) the point. I do believe that builders that are not just for the gains and attention will come. Heck, Bitcoin is a testament of that, it is not perfect by any means but isn't that just part of the human trade?

As we look back into ancient times and get amazed by the dedication, patience and mastery perfection, future generations will look at this software dudes with the same amazement, IMO.
