fair-weather friends dont seem like the best advocates ill give you that XD

this happens every market cycle , and expecting the adoption cycle of a disruptive technology to be a 45 angle upwards without volatility is naïve

i think its fair to compare the bitcoin/crypto markets to the early .com interwebs ; both overhyped too early on but grossly underestimated long-term
