That wagon is long gone.

 

It crashed into a ditch, got out, hit by a truck, holding 7 cars, then used for firewood.

As if anyone is going to use it. Even being the first University to accept Bitcoin for Bookstore purchases, I don't ever recall anyone using it.

If anything, we've gotten more rather poor phishing attempts because of it. Oy Bruh, why is your advertisement in black and white?

This is the REAL problem with these cryptocurrencies, its all speculation trading and miners (small time) tricking themselves into thinking its worth it.  Its really not either way, the rocket to the moon is long over and no one else is going to get rich off it.  Only the large Chinese manufacturing ASIC producers (who then use the hardware to mine lol) are getting any real amount of money from it still.

 

You would make FAR more money getting another part time job.

 

Then on top of all that the main stream ones like bitcoin are plauged with forks, inefficient transaction fees, and greed.  Essentially what happens to any system when left to the devices of people, human nature takes over and ruins it.

 

The fact bitcoin doesn't have places to spend it were are not really the issue in the first place.

I hope they do and it will come right back at them. Would never feel sad seeing apple losing money, so the same goes for Starbucks
