to elaborate, Taler has been busy going nowhere for coming on ten years now. There is no reason to expect it will do anything. It doesn't do anything ordinary non-nerds don't already get from money.
Given this, and its track record of going nowhere, how does it seem like it could be big?

Then we won't stop there- we're going to hire living actors to construct and pose the skeletons of the zombie-actors we're going to create in their place. Then we're going to rip their faces off, and glue on the faces of the long-dead actors- after the dark power (transformer model) spits them out from the disassembled mass of parts we fed it.
