I should go back to wearing a bucket hat all the time though that was pretty great. Title: Re: How far we have come....

The blockchain is the first financial protocol added to the internet. They can copy the protocol, but they can't copy the risks and sacrifices taken by its pioneers. And they did it without financial backing and with all open source coding. Nobody can accuse them of doing this as a pyramid scheme because everyone had the same opportunities to get in cheap even years after it began. It's been quite a ride and I don't see it ever ending. |
