Nah, especially in tech, people are too invested in hating bitcoin. They'd have to admit to being wrong to change their tune, which will likely never happen.

Probably has something to do with finally coming out of the conjoined coin scams and NFT blockchain brain rot that crypto bros spent countless hours trying to manipulate financially illiterate people into being left to hold the bag on their rug pulls that were exposed on a bi-weekly basis, or something. Cute little speculative toy though :)

  Yeah, when people confuse bitcoin with NFTs or believe that keeping bitcoin on centralized exchanges is normal, or that "smart contracts" are the future, I can understand that they see no value. Too bad you listened to "crypto" people, not bitcoiners, but that was your choice.

Because we are the people that can best see behind the lies about Bitcoin. It's really not useful to pay with it. It's really not going to hold value if a big country (or EU) forbids it. Away from Bitcoin, towards web3 and crypto. What useful things have we seen? Since nearly a decade we have been told and shown claims about unique features, changing the world and so on. Nothing came out of this. What is crypto useful for right now? Buying/selling drugs, huge speculation & sending rather big amounts of money across the world (and then converting it to fiat lol).

  > It's really not going to hold value if a big country (or EU) foribids it. Haha, how did China banning bitcoin affect anything? Is it just ignorance or racism that you ignore what China did? > Away from Bitcoin, towards web3 and crypto Haha, yeah, fuck off, this is not about "crypto". Away from humanity and towards genocide, what have you done to prevent it? I guess it's only fair that I connect you with any random thing I want. > What is crypto useful for right now? Buying/selling drugs, huge speculation & sending rather big amounts of money across the world (and then converting it to fiat lol). You don't realize how privileged you are? You have no worries about runaway inflation, you have access to a functioning banking system, your are not concerned about having your wealth stolen, you have no problems sending money anywhere you want to. You're the typical "bitcoin is not useful for me, so it's not useful for anybody because only I matter" crowd.

    Always good to accuse someone of racism in the first interaction you ever have with them.
