Everyone in cryptocurrency seems to have forgotten that the adage "the devil you know vs. the devil you don't" was a recommendation to prefer the former.
Everyone in Crypto Currencies are besotted by the "we are in at ground level of a tech revolution" idea... namely they think they saw the kids of the 80s/90s get easy low qualification required tech jobs and one man shops making 100s/millions/dollars. They are the modern prospectors. Free gold on unclaimed land.
Like any decent business thinker you don't see the rough edges of your focus. Sometimes when you do it can cripple you. But then again most business fail.
It's a cute analogy perpetuated by GenX VCs and crypto-wonks who don't see a down-side in making bold, wild claims. It's one of the many problems today in which there is no down-side risk on making extremely early predictions. No one will call you out on being wrong. I view it similar to people who have been calling for another tech bubble and the subsequent market crash even though we're still very much in the midst of consistent All-Time Highs.
