Yes, I know that it still exist, and yes, decentralized currency which utilizes distributed, cryptographic validation is not actually a strictly bad idea, but…
Is the speculative investment scam, which crypto substantially represented, finally dead? Can we go back to buying gold bars and Pokemon cards?
I feel like it is, but I’m having a hard time putting my finger on why it lost its sheen. Maybe crypto scammers moved on to selling LLM “prompts?” Maybe the rug just got pulled enough times that everyone lost trust.
It was kinda shocking how negative public sentiment is. I am deep in crypto world so I am used to much more positive feedback on the stuff I am working on, because I guess I mostly hang out with crypto people
That sentiment was earned over time. The original reception of crypto wasn’t bad, and large companies like Valve/Steam would accept bitcoin for a little while. All of that went away as bitcoin turned from a potential “digital money” to “just another pyramid scheme”. Drying up the GPU market and making PC gaming unformidable didn’t help.
This is a great point.
I’ve recovered from my Bitcoin maxi days, so I hope things move forward in the industry (namely, the normies learning about ETH)
