This constant whining is getting popular nowadays, specially on hn.
>ooohh this thing I got in early is now popular
Give me a break.
Alot of smart people here think they know what matters but they don't.
They often point at the technology and this and that, but it doesn't matter, they are all wrong. The price chart is the only thing that matters. Even if you had the best scalable crypto. Would it matter if nobody could make money on it?
People only adopt these things to make money because it's not a necessity, unlike In your country where you need, your government's printed money to buy food and survive.
Theories sometimes make alot of sense in paper, but reality proves otherwise.
In crypto all it matters is price performance.
When there is a bear market most people don't want to talk or touch crypto at all. They all want to stay a away, like it is a leprous dog.
You can pay for less shit with bitcoin today, than in 2017.
