This thread has too much discussion about bitcoin and not enough about ether. Bitcoin is an amazing invention (I have owned since 2016 and spent a long time thinking about and discussing it before finally buying) and has permanent OG status but you can do so much more interesting shit on the ethereum network than you can on bitcoin. That gap is only going to go up.
How many of the people in this thread who are completely dismissive of crypto have ever even used metamask? A revolution is unquestionably happening. The amount of disintermediation and automation that crypto allows is immense, and that will have huge negative ramifications for lots of non-crypto-native companies and industries. You genuinely don't have to learn about it and profit from it if you don't want to, but it is not going away and it is only going to do more things and gain more adoption.
