for 13 years I've been listening to people telling everyone else what Bitcoin will do, what it is meant to do, how it will evolve to [whatever] and what people should do, what you have to do etc etc.

Let me tell you, 99% of the time the person talking is full of shit, has ulterior motives or is just talking out of their butt. The only one who's never wrong is Bitcoin itself but then again, Bitcoin doesn't have any conflicts of interest. All Bitcoin cares about is tick-tock, next block.

Everything else is attention seeking, fame seeking, follower seeking or just blunt noise.
