I think it's very risky for people to predict that crypto will die. If it doesn't, the stigma of 1 online comment will stay with them for the rest of their life: whenever Jamie Dimon will want predict something in the future, his opponents will say "yeah, says the guy who thought Bitcoin is a fraud".
If crypto WILL die and one positioned themselves as a supporter, nobody will tell them they were overly enthusiastic about some vaporware. Who is being bashed for semantic web not becoming web 3.0, for example?

- Nursie 8y agoI don't think the stigma of one online comment would stay with most people in the same way. Few are that high profile, or in that specific field.

I sure hope that stigma will attach to the scam artists, tax evaders and clueless chumps who together make up the overwhelming majority of cryptocurrency boosters today. Alas, you're probably correct that they'll move on to the next fad with their reputations intact.
