So grateful for this post
Dan Larimer @dan ( A true Archimedes of our time) is a game changer...innovator and a corporate entrepreneur of our generation...he is someone always having "The eureka effect" and turning it into benefits for many. I am honored to follow his work especially in EOS, Steemit and bitshares recently since having joined steemit just a bit above 3 weeks now and seeing positive results especially in my steemit daily lifestyle ( I am steeming hot).
So @lovejoy where you stated and i quote; "The kind of 'flexibility' with 'scripting' that Dan alludes to in blockchain development, indicates to me that over two years ago Dan was already thinking about what would later become the foundation for EOS".

is not a surprise anymore for me...

Well, I am not here to sing praises ( not my intention) but this guy seems to also be the "Nostradamus" of our time as what he predicted below is becoming a truism...
Quoting @dan as cited in @lovely post...

"...and I can see the ideas we see in Bitshares are going to be matured, optimized, and applied at a broader scope. I see blockchains becoming faster, more efficient, and more flexible than they have been in the past. That probably means some kind of scripting and configurability, but it has to be high performance, because anything that cannot handle thousands of transactions per second is not going to be adopted by the masses.

From the above, we all can see that we should give honor to whom honor is due. Lets follow and support visionary leaders. I rest my case...
