Actually, a year ago you would have been absolutely correct. Curiosity got the best of me last fall and I started reading up.
I understand that a lot of folks really get into this and buy these things, and think the rest of us don’t know what we are talking about.
I compare it to a person who sells Amway and thinks that if only people really understood it, they would jump in with both feet.
And you are right that tulip bulbs and Cryptocurrency are not the same thing. Tulip bulbs have actual intrinsic value. Once cryptocurrency runs out of “greater fools”, it has even less value than an antique ferry token, because it doesn’t really exist.
Except the tulip craze had nothing to do with individual bulbs. But, that doesn’t matter.
I don’t think I am going to get a convert. It’s not a religion. It’s an algorithm. I simply wish the people coming on and disparaging it would try disparaging the usefulness. You think this holds no value. But you don’t even know how it works or what it is for.
I’m not selling anything. I don’t care if anyone buys it. It’s not Amway. It’s more akin to selling someone on the promise of the personal computer or the internet in 1990. Some people grasped it. Others could not see the value in the whole “web” thing. It might be Pets.com. Who knows.
