'But in this modern age, things come and go faster than ever. And for now, most of the public doesn’t care that Bitcoin has already doubled from its low of around $5K. All they think is Bitcoin crashed from $20K. So right now, it is considered a loser unless you bought a long time ago. The notion of getting rich by buying Bitcoin now is not really a part of the narrative anymore among the general public.'
http://jamescrypto.com/the-general-public-wont-care-about-crypto-again-until-bitcoin-breaks-past-20k/I was ridiculed in January for predicting that 2018 would be a 'sideways year' like 2014. But this writer seems to agree with me.
What's my point? Well, very very many folks on Planet Krypto at this second are new arrivals. They aren't the libertarians and techie-miner guys -- folks with 'deeper roots' -- who were the cores of communities when things went pear-shaped in 2013. So, the long-timers need to focus on maintaining community enthusiasm.
