A certain amount of cynicism is realistic, don't you think?

It's a proven fact that most startups don't make it. Based on statistics alone, Google's next big thing will probably be a dud --- just like Larry Page's electric air taxi.

I was cynical about Facebook and their business model. I tried to convince my friends and family not to buy into what they were selling --- with only moderate success. It only took a couple of decades but most now realize that I was right from the start. Everyone is now at least talking about how to ditch Facebook. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32959068

Call me cynical but I think that everyone making their own currency is a blast from the past --- not the wave of the future. It won't work any better now than it did back when. It's like the lottery --- if you haven't lost money yet, it can only be because you haven't played the game long enough.
