Not companies that care about PR and want to distance themselves from crypto space. Those engineers and researchers unfortunately have been tricked into thinking that crypto would be here to stay as were the hundreds and thousands of investors that were duped into an elaborate Rube Goldberg machine that serves no real purpose other than the monetary incentives of a closed few.
- xur17 4y agoCrypto prices have gone down a bit from their peak, but it sure seems like crypto is here to stay. In fact, I'd be happy to make a bet that the crypto industry will exist in 10 years, and will have a larger market cap than it does today.
- purerandomness 4y agoNo argument here, after all Rube Goldberg machines and scammers will likely exist in 10 years as well.
- birracerveza 4y agoSore losers as well.
- purerandomness 4y agoI wouldn't call people who got scammed and who've lost all their money because they've been a bit naïve 'sore losers', but you do you.
- birracerveza 4y agoI'm not calling people who got scammed sore losers, but rather people who, after 10 years of blockchain still being around and kicking, will refuse to attribute even a shred of legitimacy to the technology and to ever admit they were wrong, still claiming that "it's a scam" and various iterations of "crypto bad". I suspect this won't change. See /r/buttcoin.
