> So many people missed the bus and are just salty or frustrated

This is such projection. I have 0 regrets about not buying into Bitcoin (or any other hyped up blockchain tech). It represents the absolute worst of capitalism, selfishness, and anti-intellectualism. I sleep soundly at night having had 0 involvement. Also perfectly happy in my decisions to avoid: buying a lottery ticket ever, joining any MLM in existence, working for a hedge fund, hoarding XBoxes to re-sell them, etc.

> Now it is all about how Bitcoin is a ponzi, key reason for climate change and solves no issues whatsoever. Maybe all those things are correct (I don't know) but it sure was a good way to make a lot of money -- and most of the people here just missed it.

Annnnnd exactly demonstrating what I'm referring to. "These criticisms might be fully correct. I don't know! But it sure was profitable!" What a disgusting way of looking at the world.

> We haven't learned anything? Have we?

Clearly not.
