You would not be able to write like that a year ago.
When Bitcoin was going to be the future not just in South Korea but on Hacker News too.
I am still waiting for my world changing dApps to come along from the many promising projects that needed all of this money from ICOs to finance the change that my small ill-educated brain could not imagine.
Just as well I did not quit my job because my coding work was irrelevant because there would be a magic dApp coming along in two months time that would mean I could do everything effortlessly with smart contracts and the new fintech. Just as well I did not get all my money invested in [$altcoin] as I was pressured to do so.
Where have all the serious people gone who were the experts a year ago? Do they still exist thinking that the serious blockchain smart contract stuff has only just started? Do they still make analogies about the dot com bust and where Amazon is today? Do they blame the state of the altcoin on how governments clamped down? A conspiracy, a refusal by governments to let people be free from the shackles of 'fiat currency'?
A year ago you would not be able to write about how 'millions' of people in South Korea spared misery by their government in the tone you can freely write with today.
- oska 8y agoBitcoin never did an ICO and most of the hype around dapps was centered on ethereum. You are conflating shitcoins and scamcoins with Bitcoin. Some of the loudest voices warning against these obvious scams came from the bitcoin community. The same people also warned against the blockchain hype.
