Many people are thinking of other ways to make money. There are many people who have become rich because of Bitcoin, but there are also many people who have lost their money because of Bitcoin.
The world will not change much. Other innovative technologies would have been discovered without Bitcoin.
Bitcoin does bring a lot of convenience to people.
Yeah, lots of people are looking to other means of making money aside their main job to make ends meet. And to some, bitcoin has helped with that as there are lots of people who invested and held bitcoin in its early stages and reaped a bountiful return on their investments.
I think the majority of people who lost money on bitcoin are people who had and stored their funds on exchanges that later went bankrupt and folded up, like the recent FTX mess. No doubt, bitcoin has helped change the lives of a lot of people.
