I was into Bitcoin all the way back in the days, when they were free (I believe I read about it here on HN) and we had faucets and all that up until they were worth around $300. I had great hopes for the technology and was mostly just following stuff on r/bitcoin while also trying to built little proof of concept projects on the side, that could maybe turn into some useful gadget like a payment processing device or similar things.

I got out because it turned into exactly a religion. There was no room for questioning the technology or considerations about whether this was really as useful as we thought it would be.
