Goes to tell you how much many of us value the general fundamentals and tech behind crypto currency. Many could have been millionaires, yet they held on. They know where the future is. Patience, strong mentals, little sacrifices and some luck is needed in this space.
I wish I agreed with your assessment. I think many people did not sell because of greed, not belief in the tech. I know that some of my bags were not sold because of it. I hope I get the chance to rectify my mistake.
Also, can no one in this group share any good resource on Nem?
Let's call it a mixture of both for many of us. While it would have been nice to have a life completely funded with fiat by now; further analysis of trends, global markets, government & corporate policy, etc points to a stagnation of fiat in the future. And no I will not post any resources, some of us have done independent research going for almost 10+ years since the last global recession. If predictions are correct (many of which have become correct over the past years), the future points towards cryptocurrency and blockchain adoption at a level not seen before. Traditional institutions are being forced to start adopting this new tech in order to battle corruption, one example.
Yes, many have enjoyed the current status of fiat by cashing out from crypto. But the future is not in paper money, it's in unique digital identifiers that cannot be replicated unless there is an agreeing consensus in the blockchain used.
Also don't forget in a future world with 5G connectivity, blockchain technology is very much needed for 5G to work as intended.
Don't get desperate, just let time decide if cryptocurrencies and blockchain will have a future.
