Egggg yolk, what is going on with my people,
the Chico Army and any newbie who I consider
a viewer of the tube.
My name is Tyler, the host of the crypto channel,
that keeps it as cool as a cucumber, even
on our way to the moon...kind of like this
guy.
You know how we lawn chair Larry...it’s
time for Chico Crypto!
Well, ELON Musk….the meme man himself, has
grown into superstardom.
Tesla, is the star of the stock market...it’s
one of the only stocks to push right back
through it’s all time high before the March
panic, Madness...and even outdoing expectations,
of the most bullish investors, las week it
was a market mover in the stonk world, having
the biggest opening pump, and even settling
into above 11.4 percent 24 hour gain.
11.4 percent 24 hours in stonks?
Ya stonks is right elon...
Doesn’t sound normal huh?
Sounds like crypto huh?
Well, Elon, last week decided to get all willy
nilly on twitter once again.
After the surging Tesla stock on Thursday
of last week, Elon decided to say this...to
none other, than the SEC.
“SEC, three letter acronym, middle word
is Elon’s”...of which one guys replies,
dangerous...and Elon says back “But sooo
satisfying”
So if you didn’t know...Elon and the SEC
have some bad blood.
In September of 2018, Elon was fined 20 million
himself, and Tesla the company was also fined
20 million, for another Tweet.
When he tweeted he was thinking about taking
Tesla private at 420 dollars a share...a big
premium back then….which the SEC took as
market manipulation.
So this is a crypto channel, Tyler...what
the freak are you talking about stonks and
elon musk for?
Well the same day...the MUSKman decided to
tweet about crypto as well...Captian Kirk
himself, the Shatner, tweeted this…”Cryptonians!
My friends VitalikButerin & ElonMusk
were trying to decide what to build on Ethereum..
I’ve been waiting & waiting….I finally
decided to do something myself.
Join me!
Of which Elon replied….”I’m not building
anything on ethereum.
Not for or against it, just don’t use it
or own any” And as we can see in the comments,
it made the crypto world go wild...the chainlink
4chan shills posting meme after meme, people
asking if dogecoin is still his favorite crypto
and it keeps going on and on, from all walks
of crypto project life trying to tie themselves
to ole ELON.
So to understand, ELON and his views of crypto...you
have to understand his history and that history
is about as wonky as it gets.
Elon Musk comes from a very, very wealthy
family.
His father is errol musk, one of the youngest
person’s ever to earn a professional engineering
qualification in South Africa, where he went
on to provide his skills to country in Emerald
mining.
And business insider covered this period of
Elon’s early life...in an article titled
“'We had so much money we couldn't even
close our safe': Elon Musk's Dad tells Business
Insider about the family's insanely casual
attitude to wealth.
And in the article it states, “His father,
Errol Musk, had a casual attitude towards
the family’s considerable wealth, including
the stones that came from the Zambian emerald
mine in which Errol owned a half share….”Elon,
by his father’s recollection then probably
16 years old, and his brother Kimbal, decided
to sell emeralds to Tiffany & Co. on Fifth
Avenue in New York – one of the world's
most famous jewelers – as his father lay
sleeping.
"They just walked into Tiffany’s and said,
‘Do you want to buy some emeralds?’"
"And they sold two emeralds, one was for $800
and I think the other one was for $1,200."A
few days later the family returned to the
store to find that Tiffany was selling the
$800 emerald, now set in a ring, for $24,000
-- a markup of 30 times the price Elon had
received for the gem.
Soooo not the normal childhood wouldn’t
you say?
Well his childhood wasn’t all great, his
parents divorced at 8 years old, and he spent
most of his time with his mother, throughout
various South Africa cities...and eventually,
because of the family “drama” he migrated
to Canada, and stayed with family members
including his second cousin...dropping the
family fortune and working odd jobs, like
on the families farm..but also, for the local
lumber mill, and eventually doing some logging.
He then went to Queens University, Ontario...and
finally made his way into America, transferring
to the University of Pennsylvania to study
physics and economics.
He did not use his family fortune to pay his
way through all of this.
According to Musk, he befriended Adeo Ressi
when he got to Pennsylvania, who had deep
pockets, and they Rented a 10 bedroom frat
house, and turned it into a nightclub, charging
for entrance and paying Musk's way through
college.
So Elon built everything he has, on his own.
He had the option to take wealth from his
father...but he chose not to stand in front
with open palms, and create an empire on his
own.
Which obviously he has.
So, now that we have the background & realize
Elon is a fighter, who builds the things himself….we
can get an idea of why he isn’t a fan of
Bitcoin or Ethereum.
He didn’t build it...he tried to build one
with his buddy Peter Thiel, with Paypal….because
if you didn’t know, that is exactly what
was the original mission of Paypal...to create
a bitcoin.
Current CEO, Luke Nosek told us this at Davos
2019 in February of last year.
So, they were trying to do what Bitcoin Did,
that was the OG mission, when Elon was still
around.
Or did he create BITCOIN?
We all know the 2008, Bitcoin whitepaper,
written by Satoshi Nakamoto, anonymous person
who had a deep understanding of cryptography
and economics.
As we know, Elon has a background in econ,
studied it in college...as we know….
But what was one of the things Elon first
created, by coding himself.
It was Zip2 in 1995... a web software startup
that created online city guides for newspapers,
which morphed into kind of an early version
of google maps, but on a city scale.
Then from a biography of Musk, it said this
“Musk did all the original coding behind
the service himself...then lower down, “while
musk had excelled as a self taught coder...then
lower Musk said this “yeah we had some very
good software engineers at Zip2, but I mean,
I could code way better than them.
And I’d just go in and fix their fudging
code”
So I wonder what Zip2 was coded in?
Well this was 1995, and there was a backend
used for almost everything.
Regular C code.
I’m sure some of you who know about Satoshi,
are like wait...wasn’t bitcoin core coded
in c++?
Well yes, but to learn c++, you should know
c, as c++ is an extension of C, and the first
international standard of it wasn’t released
until 1998.
Well, right after the standard was released,
Elon started coding x.com, which would eventually
merge with confinity, to become Paypal.
What was the original code for this in?
Kind of hard to find exactly, what it was,
but from this 2013 article titled “PayPal
Switches from Java to JavaScript“ we can
find out what was legacy code..it states “we
have legacy C++/XSL and Java/JSP stacks, and
we didn’t want to leave these UIs behind
as we continued to move forward.
JavaScript templates are ideal for this.
On the C++ stack, we built a library that
used V8 to perform Dust renders natively – this
was amazingly fast!
On the Java side, we integrated Dust using
a Spring ViewResolver coupled with Rhino to
render the views”
So C++ and I wonder if Elon has brought that
along with him to his new companies, like
Tesla and SpaceX?
Well SpaceX devs, have told us what the rockets
are coded in...C++, every bit of it and spacex
dragon, the reusable cargo spacecraft...c++
too.
But as we can see, that was 3 years ago that
dev said that...I wonder if they are still
using it.
Well SpaceX engineers had a reddit AMA last
week, let’s see what they said in response
to this question “What is the most used
programming language for developing the F9
and Dragon software?
Is it C or C++?”
They said “All of the application-level
autonomous software is written in C++.
We generally use object oriented programming
techniques from C++, although we like to keep
things as simple as possible.
We do use open source libraries, primarily
the standard C++ library, plus some others.
So check on C++ with SpaceX, what about Tesla?
Well he said this about self driving, just
in February of this year on Twitter.
“Our Neural Network is initially in Python
for rapid iteration, then converted to C++/C/raw
metal driver code for speed (important!).
Also, tons of C++/C engineers needed for vehicle
control & entire rest of car.
Educational background is irrelevant, but
all must pass hardcore coding test” and
then, if you want to get a job at Tesla, this
blog told us what you need to know….consider
learning C and C++
So right there, Satoshi c++...elon c++..but
this Cointelegraph article, from 2014 on the
search for Satoshi, makes me think it possible
to be true.
They covered some articles written by another
Satoshi suspect, Hal Finney and he said this
““I must be brief.
The reason I was skeptical about Dorian Nakamoto
is that he didn’t match the picture in my
mind that I had of Satoshi.
I pictured him younger, as he was giving the
impression of youthful vigor.
Then there is the language Bitcoin was written
in, C++. Satoshi was a master of the intricacies,
and I’ve only seen this in young programmers.
It seems hard to master C++ if you didn’t
learn it while you’re young.
As for your suspicion that I either am or
at least helped Satoshi, I’m flattered but
I deny categorically these allegations.
I’ve done some changes to the Bitcoin code,
and my style is completely different from
Satoshi’s.
I program in C, which is compatible with C++,
but I don’t understand the tricks that Satoshi
used.
So Elon, learned while he was young, first
with C with zip2 and then he was probably
one of the first major techies to get interested
in c++, which is obvious from it’s early
integrations at Paypal, Tesla and SpaceX.
But what else could there be?
Well the Elon is Satoshi rumors began with
Elon himself in March 2014, when someone asked
him his standing on cryptocurrencies and he
replied “Well now that Satoshi has been
discovered, I guess it’s case closed...smiley
face :) and as you can see, he wasn’t too
popular back then, only 196 likes...well he
was then officially called out by a former
SpaceX engineer in 2017, for being Satoshi….and
he replied “Not true.
A friend sent me part of a BTC a few years,
but I don’t know where it is”
But here is something no one has seen, and
is a Chico only thought.
GPU mining.
So Cointelgraph came out with this article
“Satoshi Invented GPU Mining to Defend the
Network Says Early Dev” late last May...so
GPU mining wasn’t credited to Satoshi...it
was credited to Laslo Hanyecz, early dev and
actually the bitcoin pizza guy, making the
1st real world bitcoin transaction.
The reason he is credited because of his post
on bitcoin talk..well he said this about the
original gpu mining code “And he (Satoshi)
actually shared with me his version of it.
So even though it wasn't in Bitcoin, he did
have GPU mining code and he said he was just
keeping it ready in case he had to defend
the network with it.
Sooo Satoshi, had a deep understanding of
GPUs...he had too to create a mining code
base off of them.
Well in April of last year Tesla dropped a
bomb on the GPU world & tech crunch covered
it “Tesla vaunts creation of ‘the best
chip in the world’ for self-driving”
The article states, ““How could it be
that Tesla, who has never designed a chip
before, would design the best chip in the
world?
But that is objectively what has occurred.
Not best by a small margin, best by a big
margin.”
And that is because its a full on system,
on a chip..as we can see their is the GPU,
but also 2 neural processing units, the cpu...and
more.
It’s an absolute beast and who helped create
the Chip Peter Bannon said this in response
to it’s power which allows 7 times as many
frames, has 7 times larger neural nets.
““There are a lot of ways you can spend
that.”
Now, I know it’s not the best connection,
but spending power?
Could you spend it on mining cryptocurrencies?
Well here is what is interesting too, about
the Chip...the tech crunch article says it
was built by Samnsung in Texas….
Now lookey here….Samsung announced in 2018,
they were creating chips specifically designed
for cryptocurrency mining..and in the article
it says “ A spokesperson for the firm told
TechCrunch: “Samsung’s foundry business
is currently engaged in the manufacturing
of cryptocurrency mining chips”
Yah it’s foundry business, the same foundry,
the Texas one creating the Chips for Tesla...as
we can see from their detail of the Austin
Texas site, in July of 2017 Samsung Austin
Semiconductor, became a foundry...and job
postings?
They are looking for “Senior Digital ASIC
Design Engineers” ya ASIC as in that type
of mining...in Richardson Texas,
So, the mystery of Satoshi, is a tough one
to crack...but he did say this...that he is
better with code than with words...similar
to Musk.
And the last thing he said was this “I’ve
moved onto other things.
It’s in good hands with Gavin and everyone.
Was that thing Tesla and SpaceX?
We may never know.
Cheers I’ll see you next time!
