Or good, or bad,-disfigur’d, or deprav’d,- All art, is at its resurrection sav’d All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n, Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.” – Sir Martin Archer Shee.

This quote perfectly sums up the journey I have embarked on, since the founding of Crypto Chain University in February 2010.

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” by Arthur C. Clarke’s third law.
“All art, is at its resurrection sav’d All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n”
In a Chinese saying, 纸包不住火, direct translation to English is “paper can’t wrap fire”, which is used to signify that the truth will eventually come to light sooner or later. The Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, Blockchain technology, has withstand all onslaughts by critics, simply because it is a legit technology that cannot be refuted.
“Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven”
And when the truth has come to light, those who have seen the Bitcoin’s potential and have had invested will gain ‘merit’, while critics will eat their words…
