I dunno... but those self-quotes sound a lot like at least implying that "missing out on crypto" would be like missing out on early days of Internet. You also seem to try and retrofit "blockchain" instead of "crypto", but these are two different things - blockchain is a technology, crypto is a form of play-money based on that technology, just like it's older brother, the monopoly-money, is based on the technology of paper (but not much else).

No, I was using crypto and blockchain as interchangeable terms. I'm aware some people don't, but that's always how any person the space I've spoken to uses them
Indeed you did, but that does not make it right. They are not interchangeable. Now again, did you, or did you not promote Bitcoin?

No, you have a different opinion about terminology, which ironically is one of the things I noted as pointless in the thread I posted.
