List: The First Rule of Book Club... (Please Read)

[BobWay]

I realized a while back that I always had a bunch of "great ideas" that I clung to (very privately) because I thought they were "valuable". The problem was I wasn't acting on those ideas. As I learned more about "value" I realized I was completely wrong. Nothing is valuable unless it is "liquid". Meaning you can trade that value for some other type of alternative type of value more handy at that instant.

So I changed my entire way of looking at the world! I decided to capture the value of my latent ideas by making them more liquid. In financial terms, I use them to buy a type of "future" benefit.

Here's how my system works. It's a type of contract or promise between you and me.

1. I promise to tell you all my "great ideas" openly and honestly at no charge or up front obligation.
2. You promise that, if you take my great idea and run with it as a business or a project, you'll invite me to help you. (I love cool projects)
3. You further promise, that if you get rich and I don't...
   • I get invited to stay on your yacht.

So if you accept these terms (or even if you don't),  please introduce yourself below.

Hi, I'm Bob. I promise to tell you all my great ideas openly and honestly!

[madToo]

Hi, I'm madToo and I promise to lurk and be a sponge. Unless I have something constructive to add, then I'll speak up. Thanks for all the insights.

And I will invite you to my yacht no matter how I earn enough to pay for it

Hi Bob, I'm  Fletch (Jerry), really appreciate the mindset and attitude. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your contributions so far and this club has convinced me to finally sign up to XRPchat so I can contribute as well as lurk. Also +1 for the repeated use of the word 'grok'

[Odiseo]

Hi, I'm not Odiseo (Odysseus), but as the greek character I like Journeys.

I don't think I would buy a yacht , but if I use one of your ideas, you'd be invited to the Journey.

Hi, I'm Rey ... a scavenger from Jakku who's interested in all aspects of the birth and development of the IoV, tech as well as non tech ...

These days feel as exciting as the early days of the net, 2 to 3 decades ago.

Myself I'm an ICT consultant, though I studied corporate law and bank law a long time ago.

Hi,

I am a serial generalist with a twist optimism  and a dash of gumption.

Thanks!

Hi Bob, I'm Shawn.

I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experiences.  

When your book gets published, I will be the first in line to buy it.  

Until then, you should figure out a way to  receive streaming XRP payments for people browsing in this club. 

Can't say I will provide much value here.  Maybe a bad joke or two, but I am fascinated with the world changing potential of XRP. 

And I would love for all the BTC maxi XRP haters to be proven completely and totally wrong.

[Slipstream]

Hi I'm Slipstream, a future (once I get my act together) ILP dev, and you'll always be welcome on my rowboat to explore the canals in The Netherlands 

[WEYLINS]

Hi,

I'm WEYLINS 

active Lurker since january 2018. Mostly in (one of) THE CLUB(s) over here called ''The Zerpening''

You just gave me a second club to spent time in.

Superb initiative for which I thank you a lot! 

[Keojimal]

Hi Bob, I'm Graham.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in an open and dedicated manner. I promise to try my best to understand what you are writing about, and follow the leads and sources that you point us towards. Please keep in mind that some of us are noobs (me) and not very tech or crypto savvy, and we may spend more time lurking in the shadows than actively speaking up in the threads. I wish you a continued recovery and look forward to what this club develops into. You may have created a monster Dr. Frankenbob!

Edit: By the way, you just took my xrpchat forum posting virginity! Hope it was as good for you!

Hello
I'm doing my best to explain to people online and in person which are the biggest misconceptions and misunderstandings about XPR and Ripple, and since the day BobWay joined the forum the quality of my XRP Sermons improved a lot

Hi, I'm lucky and I accept your terms. The past 7 years I've been building a platform for institutions and people with amazing content, such as yourself, integrating mail, chat and files with a revenue model based on micropayments, a magnificent interface and a fair EULA. I hope you haven't spilled all your beans before I've released it, currently planned in May/June.

Hi Bob,

It’s nice to meet you. Thank you for sharing your ideas and thoughts around crypto currencies.

I am generally a lurker and am in 100% on XRP.
