“There was a time when my credit card was almost maxed out, I was almost out
of cash, I had no income, and my car broke down on the freeway. After I paid for
the car repair I had to call Discover and ask for them to lift my limit so I could buy
gas. I was absolutely terrified, completely broke, and fairly depressed. “

“This is not the wisdom of the crowd, but the wisdom of someone in the crowd.
It’s not that the network itself is smart; it’s that the individuals get smarter
because they’re connected to the network.”
