Personally, I have not.

I saw the use of blockchain as wildly inefficient, and now that bitcoin processing is using up more energy than some countries, I think that has born out.

And I still don't see the inherent value of bitcoin. People like to rail against "fiat currency," but bitcoin is also fiat currency; its value simply comes from the decree of a different group of people. I trust the full faith and credit of the US government more than I trust the folks on /r/crypto.
