Read Bitcoin whitepaper. Bitcoin was meant to decentralize trust and to eradicate fraud through transparent decentralized database called Blockchain. It is certainly more impactful than hobby search engines taking in consideration Bitcoin was also hobby project but really revolutionary one.

Go search what Larry Page said 20 years ago: If innovation is commercially successful it can have more widespread impact.

So your response to the author saying "I'm trying to be commercially successful, but it's really hard for these reasons" is "You should try being commercially successful"?

Ok...

I respect his effort but the project is 20 years old and yet not commercially successful? There must be a reason behind it. The project is not good enough. Like I said only innovation can displace Google. Innovation is not something new and different innovation is something better.

The bitcoin brainworms do bad things to people.

I suggest you update your patter some, though. A good coin scam needs to sound a lot less dated.
