I believe that we are witnessing the setting down of the bitcoin sun, and similar to the sun on the north pole, which does not really sets down in the summer, so that is the Bitcoin sun.
The bitcoin was a great locomotive to the crypto industry, but it's time for it to step aside and let the technology take the lead.
The blockchain is the underlying technology of bitcoin and is the reason for the vast mainstream interest in this part of tech.
The mainstream has a lot of biased feelings toward Bitcoin, and god knows, there are definitely good reasons for that. But, unless the mainstream will be able to feel comfortable with using the tech, there will be no mass adoption and this beautiful technology will go to waste in the hands of speculative traders and scammers.
My personal opinion, don't shout

You are missing the point here. Mainstream people doesn't need to be aware of the underlying technologies just like blockchain. Its like using Internet, you don't need to know or understand the technology behind, all you need to be aware of it plug your network cable to a modem and then you are all set. Same as with the mobile phone industry, you just dial the number or send SMS (short text message), you don't need much details behind to appropriate it.
And besides, blockchain has a lot of used not only bitcoin and other crypto's, but other sectors are well. Are you aware that banking system is the first recipient of this beautiful technology? The same banking system that keeps on attacking crypto.
