So then I noticed that there are quite a few documentaries. I started to watch them all. A few from 2015, 2016 and 2017. I was disappointed to say the least. Everything was about bitcoin and the value/worth of bitcoin. It was about highs and lows, crashes and deceit. Only a few times the actual potential of the block chain was mentioned. Mostly it was about money.
man, you're getting confused ... there are those who only care about the prices and these are the merchants and there are those who care about technology and these are the techies, the technology and programming enthusiasts. there are those who they want to exploit the technology so as to create something else, what I am trying to say is that you should be concerned with your own goal and not be frustrated because not everyone gets interested in technology and only cares about the price.
Right now I am starting to feel like this is just a way to make money. Nothing more nothing less. You buy into btc or other coins and in no way are you really supporting the project, besides maybe adding to the order books at the exchanges with some minor effect until whales decided to take over. I sometimes have some sort of dishonest feeling, like the money I make through buying (and seldom) selling is somehow dirty as it comes from people that simply do less research, bail out or simply already had their take.
as I said before, every person has some purpose when he enters the crypto world, the merchants care about the price, the programmers care about the technology and so on. you can not force people to do the things that you do like, that is be a dictator and honestly you frighten me with that your thinking
I started with high feelings of morality, being part of some new future where block chain would be the next internet. Right now it feels like a rat race where you have to grab as much money as possible before others take it before you or from you.
you have your way of thinking, you have your own goal when you entered the crypto world and you must accept that other people also have their own goals.
Not that I am ungrateful. I like many projects because of the team behind it that actually want to change the world. But if I look around me, it is mostly those that are in it to make money, a lot of money....and this money has to come from somewhere right (those that lose money)...
they are creating companies and for this they need money and of course there will always be someone who will lose money, you do not change the world without having power and unfortunately the money is what gives you power.
What is your take on this?
In my opinion, there's no problem whatsoever like we are.
Is this all a phase, part of how this game works?
this is how game works
