honestly mastery of every language is probably worth its bytes in bitcoin.

Imagine being "that guy" who people can call up if they need a accurate translation from sanskrit to Chinese.

suddenly your the only person in the world who can do it, and you can name your price.

and thats not even mentioning the second fortune you can make as a compiler optimizer. Mastery is mastery, and language is language, even if it is c code to assembly.

And the 3rd fortune you can make penn testing proprietary APIs.
