Oddly enough I discovered recently that SL still has an ongoing userbase, and a smallish economy of people selling each other models, tools, clothing and various other bits and pieces.

I'm sure the userbase has dropped off massively since the hype phase, and I'd be surprised if anyone's making millions from SL "Real" estate any more, but it seems to still have its niche.

I wonder if ten years down the line BTC will have found a niche like that, where it ticks along unremarkably, just being used rather than hyped.
