I was an early adopter of bitcoin (2012) and I'm pretty over it at this point. It hasn't managed to do much more than be fancy digital gold. I don't find gold very interesting. It isn't a productive asset. It's just a shiny rock that people lock up in a vault. It doesn't benefit society. And as financial instruments, both bitcoin and gold are deflationary, which seems quite bad. I still have a bit of hope for some actually useful stuff to come out of the defi / smart-contract space. But I'm still fairly skeptical. There is a lot of noise and little signal.
