It probably feels like that because of where you just were.

This feels like a case of "Nobody goes there anymore it's too crowded" or "Colorado was so beautiful when I first moved here from California, but now everybody from California is moving here and ruining it."

I remember that video somebody posted that on the Bitcoin talk forums. I think the song was called "Jump you fuckers". And the whole idea was that Bitcoin was going to make all the backers jump out of windows like 1933.

But I also remember that post that Hal Finney made that foretold bitcoin banks. It was well before that video. Hal was obviously a futurist... he could see.

pressed post too early.

I don't mean to say that we aren't losing something of the original community of upstart ragtag bitcoiners.

What I am saying is, it was always going to be this way. If Bitcoin would be anything close to what the original vision set out, it was going to go this direction. We've been rooting for it.

And it is definitely scary to see the world's biggest scammers coming in to this project. But again, it was always going to be that way and it always has.

To think, shitcoinery was not going to be part of this cycle? Well, what happens each cycle is the old shitcoins fall down the list, and the new ones rise every time. The new shit coins just look a lot different this time.

And I still think Bitcoin is a Trojan horse. Get all the money into it and then watch what happens. Either they can break it or they can't.
