The herd says dollars = dollars and btc doesn't matter ... even 6 years later ... seriously ... anybody i ever talk to about btc thinks im a fucking crazy person ... that's a hellllllluva looooooot of time for any sort of mass adoption to occur ... but if it ever is valued in the 6 figures well whoopdie fucking do i'm a millionaire for absolutely no reason at all besides i know about this ridiculous thing ... meanwhile the entire global order will have collapsed in order to cause that and a million dollars will be meaningless and we'll all be living in violent anarchy ... btw as soon as i saw the tv ad for applepay the exact words that came to mind were "ohhh fuck this is going to kill bitcoin for sure"

things i've been told/asked...until

working on computers (~2000/computer idiot)
internet(~2005/what do you need that shit for)
Texting (2010/why dont you call? texting is stupid)
smartphones (~2012/does it make you smart? who needs that shit? a phone is for calling and texting)
mobile internet(2012/what for?)

back at 2000 i had a discussion if i would say i am austrian or european...i said european...everyone called me a fool...last christmas the same people came up to me to tell me i was right

these are just a few reminders how stupid and slow the average joe usually is
i guess you are smart enough to google yourself how often even the brightest people were closed minded when it came to have a vision

70% will think you are crazy but within 2 years EVERYONE and his grandparents could use a new technology (mobile phones, tablets)
at this stage only 10% of the people are even able to think of bitcoin as more than just internet stuff
people need ways to interact with the technology..-> VC put a shitload into startups to build exactly stuff that makes it usable for a "normal" person

don't count from day 1 of development
start to count now...in 3 years bitcoin/blockchain/cryptocurrency is EVERYWHERE

if you can't think around a few corners you should avoid this territory and use the internet for it's main purpose nowadays...porn...only
