I'm still waiting for the actual bitcoin infrastructure or algorithm to break. It's been 10 years and a trillion dollar network.

Just because exchanges fail, and there are shitloads of scams, doesn't mean the underlying technology isn't super interesting and can actually grow into something amazing in a few decades.

A few decades from now, the underlying technology will still be super interesting and will still have the potential to actually grow into something amazing in a few more decades.
