To be honest I do not think anyone here is interested in acquiring coins due to the technological advantages offered by them as a means of payment, store of value or currency. The vast majority is here motivated by mere speculation, therefore it does not matter to buy any new shitcoin with a very cheap price, because the volatility of the market will give all of them the opportunity to easily generate a 100% profit or more in a matter of days.
Yeah, the culture has become like that. People are more considered with making a quick buck. It will take a few years, but cryptocurrency will soon be an economic revolution. The problems it can solve with efficiency and security are too helpful to ignore. In my opinion, this culture is necessary though. It fosters competition between developers to continue developing amazing products. Capitalism at its finest.
