Your claim that "the fad is over and nobody much cared" is measurably false.
Coinbase is currently the top bitcoin exchange in the world. Have a look at their traffic: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/coinbase.com http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/coinbase.com
Not only are they in the top 1000 websites in the world, but they have set a new traffic record every day of 2017, without exception.
- coldtea 9y ago>Not only are they in the top 1000 websites in the world, but they have set a new traffic record every day of 2017, without exception. For a "revolutionary" "disruptive" technology to have, after 8 years and tons of coverage and touting, its "top exchange" merely hit the top 1000 is not exactly something to write home about. There are sites even in the Top 200 - 500 that are totally irrelevant (the "power law" distribution of visitors falls quickly after the top 10-20 websites). Now, take away developing world etc safe-keeping and money laundering motives, and add in some heightened regulations from national governments (when/if it gets to a size worthy to regulate properly), and adoption will get close to zero.
