Still, I can’t help but look on in envy. Not for the believers’ possible wealth, because that will elude most. (Even in a distributed money platform, wealth has a way of finding only a few pockets.)

They get to participate in the screaming edge of culture.

This is about how I feel about cryptocurrencies right now too. I had fun with it for a few months last year (the good months, thankfully) and I haven’t really looked back since. It’s a volitile and confusing mess, but it’s definitely exciting and could be a huge thing down the line. It’s just not something I feel like I need to be invested in right now.
