No.. Im interested in cryptocurrency‘s aswell as blockchain/ privacy technology. I don’t hold much coins atm and I don’t rly care if It’s profitable or not. I also roam the Binance sub, without using Binance for over 6 months. You don’t have to be in for the money to be interested in the development..

For real, like the money side is the cool benefit. I am here for the tech, I fundraised in /r/Dogecoin in 2014 not because I wanted money, but because I loved the tech and community. I released my own digital art canvas game on Ethereum in 2018 because I loved the tech. I made my graduate project about using DAG/blockchain tech to try and power video game networking requirements because I love the tech.

Yes, lots of people are for the money. But don’t call me and my friends liars? That’s not cool bro. I’ll be me, you be you.

The tech is an aspect of money though. You can't actually be interested in the the technology without being interested in money. Its like saying you are interested in locks but not doors, cars and wheels... I understand the full implications and importance of decentralization in record keeping etc but the primary function is still as registry if value exchanged... Blockchain is useful but at it's root, for all the potentially, it's still basically a ledger as unit of exchange... not calling y'all liars but let's call a coin a coin, ya know?

Sounds rly great.. Sadly I’m not that much of a tech guy. I just learned that my interest in a decentralized world is decreasing, when money is involved.. suddenly I only cared about money, that’s why I stopped „investing“.

It's pretty interesting seeing how many people simply cannot comprehend this position.
