#bitcoin is a "stay brain dead" tech.

To date, bitcoin has had at least two Near Death Experiences, the most recent infinite inflation bug was 2017 IIRC. So, while the maxis are prancing around with their "we're not crypto" stupidity, the rest of us are living in a rich market of ideas and innovation. Not just fixing bitcoin's shortcomings - chiefly the lack of privacy - but also not putting all our eggs in one basket.
