Yikes... the misquotes are terrible!   

Bitcoin is a for-loss company ;)

How can we explain the difference between AI and simple distributed consensus systems? 

Perhaps Decentralized Autonomous Consensus with a profit bias?

I think that more emphasis should definitely be placed on the notion of decentralized autonomous consensus as it is the quintessential advancement that make DACs (DA-Companies)  viable and potentially profitable. Whether people misconstrue this technology for AI is one thing but understanding the implications of immediate and accurate consensus for the purpose of meaningful decision making is essential for getting people on board with what you are doing.

Can we have full article copied? Instead of just a link, is there any copyright problem?
