The bitcoin was a great locomotive to the crypto industry, but it's time for it to step aside and let the technology take the lead.
The blockchain is the underlying technology of bitcoin and is the reason for the vast mainstream interest in this part of tech.
The mainstream has a lot of biased feelings toward Bitcoin, and god knows, there are definitely good reasons for that. But, unless the mainstream will be able to feel comfortable with using the tech, there will be no mass adoption and this beautiful technology will go to waste in the hands of speculative traders and scammers.
My personal opinion, don't shout
Bitcoin is a simbol that will never die. I strongly believe it's going to actually be here forever, either if it's going to get a full adoption or not.
Bitcoin represents the beginning of a new technology of a new era, and above all, of a new world.
