> It pays to revisit the very first post on Bitcoin on HN and maybe realize that what HN thinks about crypto is not so relevant as it may seem:

HN can be wrong at times. The canonical example is "Show HN, Dropbox". Time will tell if HN was wrong about cryptocurrencies as well.

We are still way too early to pass final judgement. The combined market cap of the cryptocurrencies didn't even reach dotcom niveau.

Looking at cryptocurrencies I have a feeling like looking at something from the future out of the corner of my eyes but not completely being able to grasp it. There is a gut feeling about a tremendous potential to change the direction of the future but I don't know what exactly.

I haven't had that feeling in decades. But I do know that if there is a killer app for cryptocurrencies it is not currency.
