Believing is good, proving is better. Every time I hear this kind of comment I've never once found a person that could give me concrete proof or simple explanations of how any of this is being "successful". I'm not trying to be a skeptic, it's just the easiest position given the situation.

I also think “will crypto ever be successful?” and “isn’t it just like the dot-com bubble?” are worth answering separately.

I’m pretty sure blockchain applications will emerge eventually and have wide usage.

But I also think crypto is more so where the Internet was in the late 70s than 90s. Except for the hype (the Internet wasn’t as hyped in 70s and 80s.)
