This constantly-in-hysterics tone is why people find it tiresome to try to understand crypto advocates. Cool - you like your new technology. That’s great. I’ve been in the same boat with countless things and I know what it’s like.
But if you respond to perfectly reasonable and polite questions about its use cases by screaming “you’re just asking these mean questions because you’re jealous!”, then it doesn’t exactly help the impression that the cryptocurrency market are predominantly driven by speculators hoping they’ll get rich like a handful of early fans did.
This saddens me, because I’ve long been a fan of digital cash and its promise. I hope Bitcoin or suchlike can fix its serious flaws and become a viable means of exchange. I’ll cheer any cryptocurrency which seems to be seriously trying to do that. But, respectfully, people like you are what I hate about the modern crypto scene: tribalistic, loudmouthed, unthinking, and obsessed with the pipe dream of getting rich off the next round of buyers, rather than improving our world.
