A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That sentiment was earned over time. The original reception of crypto wasn't bad, and large companies like Valve/Steam would accept bitcoin for a little while. All of that went away as bitcoin turned from a potential "digital money" to "just another pyramid scheme". Drying up the GPU market and making PC gaming unformidable didn't help.
This is a great point.
I've recovered from my Bitcoin maxi days, so I hope things move forward in the industry (namely, the normies learning about ETH)
