The whole cryptocurrency market is surreal to me for these reasons and many more.
But I did think the same thing about Twitter, especially early on when it was constantly broken. And yet, while it was broken people were still talking about it and it was gaining mommentum.
That's the parallel I see here. Enough of the right people are talking about it that it's going to be a thing for at least the near-term future. The whole eco-system can be flawed, but it has momentum.
And even among those that have been scammed, it's in their best interest to keep pushing the virtues of cryptocurrency as long as they have any left to sell.

People following celebrities like Ashton Kutcher and Kim Kardashian and comedians kept it relevant until it became used in the Arab Spring and then it became “legitimate.” I don’t see a parallel there for cryotocurencies. It’s just a bubble and I don’t see any Arab Spring type of event to legitimize it.
