I think this is why I mostly prefer looking at the past in moments like now with all the FUD happening to gain more perspective on how things progress. I personally can't remember what I was early on apart from playing video games online back in the early 2000s, it didn't cross my mind that money could be made from it at all. Crypto is arguably going through some growing pains right now and I'm optimistic that it will bounce back from it. The tech is needed in this day and age given what the powers that shouldn't be have on their sleeves with control and influence.
