We've heard about Bitcoin being a bubble and having no intrinsic value the entire duration of its existence -- so much so that Paul making these his main arguments feel like traveling back to ~2013 when it was "bubbling" then. If people use Bitcoin and believe it has value, it _gives_ it value and credibility, in the same way that diamonds have value, even though they are no longer "rare". When people stop using Bitcoin, or stop believing it has value or is worthy of value, any "bubble" state it has will burst. My main question when reading this article was: when a major technological change or shift happened in the past few decades, did people realize at the time the potential, or did they make articles like this saying that the technology was a bubble? All it makes me think of is this famous Newsweek article: http://www.newsweek.com/clifford-stoll-why-web-wont-be-nirvana-185306 http://www.newsweek.com/clifford-stoll-why-web-wont-be-nirva... I'm not saying that Cryptocurrencies will be the next internet (maybe it will be the next big .com crash), but entrepreneurs who become rich will be the ones that at least took the risk to believe (for better or worse).
