Exactly, a very arrogant and short sighted comment. Though one I would expect in a thread about crypto currency. I believe many have a strong hatred for Bitcoin etc, as they missed out on an opportunity to make a LOT of money, or simply know others that made a lot and feel some jealousy. It's just a technology and for all we know, some larger distrust may arise in governments that leads to people using crypto more and although a very small chance, bitcoin may become the most commonly used currency. My point being, we just don't know and cannot predict these things.

> I believe many have a strong hatred for Bitcoin etc, as they missed out on an opportunity to make a LOT of money, or simply know others that made a lot and feel some jealousy Yes the only reason someone can make this comment is because they’re jealous of all the money they missed out on. By the way, the word you’re looking for is envy, not jealousy smh.

I started mining Bitcoin before video card mining was a thing, and I thought it was a bad idea back then. It’s isn’t about making money, it’s a question of what Bitcoin is and how it works.

  Congrats, then you should understand that even if Bitcoin doesn't make it, some other form cryptocurrency probably will.

    Not really, cryptocurrency seems to be dying off for exactly the reasons I assumed they would. The original point was for small and ultra low overhead transactions, not as a way to make money. I am not saying the price is hitting 0 in 6 months or even 6 years, but clearly the original goal failed, interest is going away, and no use case has replaced it.

      What data are you seeing that is showing crypto’s dying off?
      - Retric 5y ago
        Number of new startups, news, coins, and conversations people have about it.

        Even by the standards of someone on a forum commenting on what they want to be reality instead of actual reality this is a ridiculous statement.

        The decline in the number of crypto coin startups is objective fact. NFT’s being the new hotness right now.

        Someone already linked you evidence that this isn't true. https://www.cbinsights.com/research/report/blockchain-trends-2021/ https://www.cbinsights.com/research/report/blockchain-trends... That shows over 700% growth and your excuse is that everything is going down except for NFTs? Meanwhile you haven't linked anything to back up your claims.
