Background story:
I sat down at my computer last night, intent on providing a few paragraphs that would serve as an introduction to bitshares for people already accustomed to cryptocurrency culture, as requested by toast (sorry toast, guess I'll get to that tomorrow). Instead, I was struck with a severe case of writers block, and ended up having a conversation with my own brain:
Brain: No no no, I'm tired of explaining these dry technical details! I'm not having it tonight, give me a break, merockstar!
Me: Not happening, you're going to produce, then you're going to revise the article you wrote about DPOS.
Brain: Yea? That's what you think.
Me: *puts fingers on keyboard and forces self to start typing*
Brain: No goddamnit! I told you I was sick of this boring writing style you've been subjecting me to these past few days! Ugh, you're going to force this to happen aren't you? Well I got news for you, bucko, it's not going to come out the way you anticipated.
This is what came out instead. As always, I all but worship people who provide me critical feedback.
PS: No I was not on drugs when I wrote this.
PPS: bytemaster, I hope you're okay with the way I portray you in this.
