    I related to the film since I struggle with my disabilities, like autism, asthma, and scoliosis. I can walk, but it hurts my back, so I minimize movement as much as possible. Autism, I struggled with reading and writing because I was a visual learner, and I still do. I had to constantly prove that I was smart enough not to be in Special Ed, so it was a lot of time arguing and doing homework. I suffer from asthma, where I have to spit out white mucus or deal with it through medication. Finally, I might suffer from a minor form of schizophrenia to the point I do take medication for it, mostly because I'm paranoid about passing college. I hear voices calling me a psychopath or encouraging me to hurt others, but I say no to it to help cope.

    The movie " A Beautiful Mind " , is as best told by John himself . My understanding is between HIM and his wife they recounted the most urgent of rememberances of episodes for the movie . John stated that Hollywood's elaboration on screen was accepted by him and his wife . He stated after year's with his mental illness he felt to really get the message on screen were by the actual events that really stood out the Most ! His wife was reluctant at first but also knew that John story could help other understanding mental illness doesn't STOP a person's life . It complicates certain happenings . She also said John love for her taught her that ! Now their son John inheritance of the Same mental illness has proven yes John is a mathematical genius but he fights the illness !!! With John and his wife both gone . I hope they're son will be okay. .

    Someone mentioned today that he could be a contender for Satoshi Nakamoto. I didn't know much about him but I see game theory & cryptography were in his area of study. He didn't go into his theories on money here much, but this interview was still 4 years before the bitcoin white paper so still plenty of time to develop them. I'll admit, I can't really fathom why Satoshi said he was "busy with other things" and turned over the admin of bitcoin core to others. I've always imagined him as a young person. But what if he wasnt young. What if he really did have lots of other interests pulling at him or other life challenges (as in his mental health) and was old enough not to care about the future value of his million bitcoins but instead truly did give bitcoin as a gift to the world. It could have been him...
