This summarises the situation quite well, I think. It's not easy to disrupt an industry, especially when that disruption aims to flip our entire understanding of how the economy works. This is made even harder by those who squabble over petty disputes.

My crypto is better than your crypto, and this mentality of immature, childish infighting only serves as entertainment for those outside of it. How can consumers and corporations ever take us seriously when cryptocurrency enthusiasts are not focused enough to drive change?

Not all enthusiasts are like that, in fact, most enthusiasts and proponents are quite the opposite. But it's those few that are crying louder above all else. It was only a few days ago when J.K. Rowling asked on Twitter for the meaning of Bitcoin, and how to explain it to her.

The tirade of mysoginistic comments, the toxic demeanor, and the "wow, how can you not understand something so simple" statements were just painful to watch. Crypto will no doubt be the future, but it seems like we're offsetting that by a few years longer than it should've been.

Cheers, and thanks for sharing the thought provoking post :-)
