It's time to stop calling Bitcoin "new technology". It's 13 years old. And blockchain hype started in 2015, so it has been 7 years since that.
Yes, people in this forum have already known Bitcoin since 13 years ago. But there are too many people out there, never heard about Bitcoin. So, they can assume Bitcoin is a new technology even if Bitcoin has already existed for more than 13 years. I don't want to debate which one is true, OP or you. In my opinion, new or old technology cannot be determined by years. It can be subjective, depending on the individual who knows it.
I think the op doesn't literally mean new but he only used that term to compare bitcoin to the old financial system. It doesn't matter if the person is new to bitcoin or not but the real truth is that bitcoin is not a new technology anymore because it was created in the year 2008-2009. It is only up to the person if what they will believe but they cannot change that fact. They cannot change the history of bitcoin depending on their own understanding.
@hatshepsut93, I think it was the year 2017 where the bitcoin and blockchain hyped begun not the year 2015. The year 2015 was too early for them and I don't hear any major positive news during that year.
