Genuine question but does this feel like yet another nail in the coffin of cryptocoins in general?
I feel like the general sentiment is that cryptocoins have mostly been used to scam people out of money. The field seems full of manipulative tactics all for the purpose of feeding the early investors.
Blockchains are not a magic technology, they will probably have a niche use somewhere, but cryptocoins seem like a dead end.
- ciropantera 4y agoAfter the 1000th "last nail in the coffin" I gave up believing that this will end someday. I see it becoming one of those ever-lasting scams that go up and down in popularity, like piramid schemes, tourist scams, 419 scams etc.
- INTPenis 4y agoOh it will absolutely be drawn out. I see that first hand because I know some people who write blockchains. There are still new "products" being launched that seem to be only for promoting the use of various cryptocoins. So it might be like e-mail spam, it'll stick around as long as there are suckers born every minute. But I'm hoping it will fade away from the mainstream at least.
