Thanks. I had thought there was some way to format quotes, but after looking at the HN formatting doc [1] I see I was mistaken and I used the styling intended for code formatting. [1] - https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc

Bitcoin is a value store. It likely won't ever be widely used to purchase a cup of coffee. Other cryptocurrencies (eg. Litecoin) will pop up to fill this niche.

Much like the effect of psychedelics at sufficient doses: a useful tool for shining a spotlight on the things we keep hidden from ourselves. On the flip side (and more commonly), we consume things and have practices that numb us to reality
