Right, so Bitcoin failed in its original purpose then no?

by kgraves 5y ago
In reality, nobody actually cares about the tech, Not even the VCs care, they're just buying into a project for an exit. The general public are even more oblivious to the tech, all they want. to know is 'How do I 100x my money? Wh
