How far we have come.... "Perspective"

It's videos like this about the Internet circa 1996 that makes you realize how far Bitcoin has yet to grow. Bring it on!

Those who hold and those who are without property have ever formed distinct interests in society

Might be.
It might be...
But there must be innovation and new products. This is good for this kind of tech.

No BTC has earned a spot worth at least 2400 baud. Cheesy

God, the 90s sucked.
I should go back to wearing a bucket hat all the time though that was pretty great.

Thanks for the nostalgia ride. I probably have dusty computer club sig tapes I made in the 80's and 90's with early developments.

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.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.
