Here and there, I can hear people whining that "you, bloody crypto speculators, make our precious Blockchain thingy rotten and smelly!!!1 "
Even my granny (she's 84) begged me yesterday not to "get involved into that illegal bitcoin" and "don't get in jail with that thing"!! I'm serious! =)

Looking back, in a few years, we might realize that they were nothing more than mutations fostered by investors blinded by numerical increases. of prices instead of honest attempts to contribute to the Blockchain ecosystem ".

Ask someone at the street today, what a Bitcoin is, and more likely, you'll get some blurry answer. Now let's go back to 2014 or even 2012. I bet, the most common answer will be "Whaaaa...? Beat Coin? why would you do that?!" =)
Constantly growing BTC price make it look shiny and the thing to be interested in. It makes more people used to it existence, more comfortable with it and more prepared to the crash of the current situation with fiat currency (oh, I really hope it will happen and I'll see it live).
To prove my point, I offer you to see, what will be at the end of the year at the market - will "technologically advanced BCC" dominate over "outdated and glitchy BTC". I bet, it won't. Because people buy Bitcoin, not the technology behind it. News talk about it, not BCC ;)
