it is noticeably peculiar to compare one of the most significant technical inventions of our century with a half-baked hair dryer.

such innovations only appear now and then, one should have the intuition to recognize them as such, otherwise he will miss the opportunities of such developments.




> one should have the intuition to recognize them as such, otherwise he will miss the opportunities of such developments.

That's the narrative of scam artists since before time.


its worth a dollar - its a scam.

its worth a hundred dollars, people use it to buy goods - its a scam.

its worth a thousand dollars, people start using it as a store of value and a hedge against inflation - its a scam.

its worth 65.000 dollars, theres also ethereum changing the face of banking forever - its a scam.

calling me a scam artist while disregarding all the givens of reality, at this point its really hard to convey how extraordinarily mind-bendingly narrow-minded this point of view is.


> its worth... its worth... its worth... its worth... its worth...

Empty words

> people start using it as a store of value

People are using for speculation, not for the store of value.

> theres also ethereum changing the face of banking forever

Ethereum is changing literally nothing

> while disregarding all the givens of reality

What you're describing are fantasies that have little to no bearing on reality.

> at this point its really hard to convey how extraordinarily mind-bendingly narrow-minded this point of view is.

At this point it's really hard to understand how anyone who talks about reality can be so far removed from reality.
