Bitcoin and other coins are much more than they used to be a few years ago. Crypto is goin mainstream in a big way. Cryptocurrencies are not for geeks any more, they became the cutting edge of the future financial world.
The future financial world will still need the geeks but it is going to be much more permissioned. Boundless, open exchange that happens on crypto-gambling sites doesn't really sit well with financial institutions.
Congratulations for a great run and an incident-free, graceful closure. Hope we can hear of the experience you guys had at some outlet.
