I don't think it's about novelty - heck people here will praise Unix and C regularly.

It's more that crypto initially had potential, at this point it's been tried and failed to deliver - at least from the value perspective of people here.

  at this point it's been tried and failed to deliver
A trillion dollars of value suggests otherwise.

I mean drug trade is also huge but you won't find many people praising it here (the second part of the sentence you quoted)

The drug trade is meeting a market demand. Most people I know have participated in it passively as buyers.

Boring and trite comparison. I'm assuming you've never taken ibuprofen?

Imagine if dollar bills appreciated in value thousands of times over by hiding them under your pillow.

Some people do more than just imagine =P

I turn 40 this year, and somehow have managed to entirely not touch my meager HODLings since 2018... it's the only reason I still earn USD (i.e. to not cash out any bitcoin).

I'm not rich, yet... but it's been a WILD. fucking. ride. (even just so far). Personally, I cashed out my entire 401(k) in 2016 and invested half of it into Bitcoin... which helps to not spend anything, viewing it as "my retirement, hit-or-miss..!"
