Maybe the reason crypto is starting to fall is...

in #bitcoin5 years ago

Consider for a moment what it was like to live without the knowledge of what money is, how it's created, what it means or represents and everything you know today. Before crypto existed, the amount of people who understood or even cared about money creation, fiat currency, exchange rates, etc, was slim - and even today, although there are millions (or billions) of humans interacting with money in new ways - how many of them are interested in living in a dramatically different world?

This is the fundamental flaw of crypto - those who advocate for it, create it, and use it, myself included, have failed the masses in not sharing the true power of crypto in general. We diverged our interests, split BTC and ETH and have 100s of currencies that are worth fractions of dollars, that not only is it impossible for the most educated cyrpto experts in the world to keep up with all of it - it has pushed the regular folk, the masses away from the technology and toward whats comfortable and familiar, the bank, credit cards, and regular money.

I advocate a rebranding of crypto, where we all come together and just advocate for the positive aspect of everyone, boosting each other up and creating reciprocal relationships where each community strengthens each other. Just a thought. Cheers.

Hi @creatingutopia

Consider for a moment what it was like to live without the knowledge of what money is, how it's created, what it means or represents and everything you know today

so basically you're saying that lack of awarness and knowledge is the key? correct?

Cheers,

I think the community has played into perhaps a "fear of wanting to become aware", due to the constant splitting of currencies and overall disagreement over what cyrpto's are valuable and which are not.. Like there is so much internal animosity that I believe the majority of the population has just stayed away - latching onto whatever perspective they read in the news. I thought in 2017 that we were reaching a point of usage/adoption, and could easily transition into a digital payment system for many goods/services specifically online. But nothing happened, and it's led the masses to stick with what is safe (in their eyes), their government issued currency. Just some ideas and thoughts, cheers.

Dear @creatingutopia

I love how responsive you are buddy.

I'm so glad that I had a chance to get to know you lately. You're so very supportive. LOVE IT :)

Personally I didn't see it that way. 2017 seemed to be very much a "shopping hype" and FOMO. Crypto attracted so many people and hardly anyone I knew cared to learn about it. I've heard people saying: it doesnt matter. Whatever you buy will just go up.

And now we see results of that sort of thinking.
