I met a homeless man on my way home from work today. He was convinced he was Steve Jobs and that the CIA faked his death to benefit capitalism, despite looking like Gary Oldman's 20 year older brother. I had a morbid curiosity that made me want to hear out his ramblings, so I sat down to listen to his story. He told me he was in his prime and on top of the world until he brought up an idea he had to the overlords at Apple. ("Overlords" was his word not mine, just thought I'd throw that in.) This idea, it turns out, had to do with Apple's stance on privacy, business, and innovation, and how he wanted to expand it into the monetary world. He told me how this idea, particularly how he wanted to bring it about, didn't particularly jive with the other higher ups, whom he called "The Suits"; they only saw dollar signs in their eyes. Fast forward a few years now - after replacing him with a frail lookalike for public appearances, they ultimately faked his death, and go on to release Apply Pay back in 2014, which he says was a bastardization of what he wanted to bring to the world. But what about our protagonist? Well, he said by this point he had already been ostracized from the company and rejected by his peers, so he had delved back into the shadows, working in privacy on his true vision. He said he worked on a project with a couple friends for a while that went the wayside, but ultimately led him to where he's at now, slowly working to make his dream a reality. The man I met? He wasn't homeless at all as I originally thought, just a bit disheveled and maybe a bit stoned. Today I met RockSteady, the founder of TurtleCoin, and found out the secret behind his true identity.
