Is it just my impression or is interest in Bitcoin going down rapidly? One of the top recent threads is "Btc is boring".
Always the same story with the newbies.
Bitcoin was created. People got on board. Then altcoins came along. Lots of people jumped ship. Bitcoin is old, boring, outdated. Altcoins are new, exciting, shiny! Couple of years later, 99% of these altcoins have died, lots of people have lost money, and they either rage quit the space altogether or come back to bitcoin.
Then ICOs came along. The next bitcoin! The bitcoin killer! The flippening! These are the future! People jump to ICOs. A year or two later, 99% of these ICOs have died, lots of people have lost money, and they slink back to bitcoin.
Then IPOs, IEOs, ITOs came along. The next big thing! Bitcoin can't keep up! Buy, buy, buy! A year or two later, dead, lost money, people come back to bitcoin.
Now DeFi and NFTs are on the scene. Better than banks! Better than bitcoin! Better than sliced bread! Buy this terrible overpriced picture of a monkey! This is definitely the future this time, we promise! Send us your money!
I'll see you in a few years for the next nonsense craze which is new, exciting, shiny, and with which lots of people will lose lots of money. And throughout all of this, what's the one constant? Bitcoin.
If that makes bitcoin boring for you, then feel free to go and lose your money on some scam instead.
