        Remember Paul Krugman argument about the net slowing down in 2005 or that total sales of the net won't be greater than fax machines? 😂 Same silly talk, different people

        Maybe cuz of social media but it feels like there are a lot more bitcoin zealots than internet zealots.

        I don’t recall that many pro-internet zealots. It feels like it was organic. With bitcoin/crypto, many sound like it’s the second coming of Christ. So we have the haters here and there, and the zealots pounce on them.

        May be if we have a time machine we can take a trip to 1995. I guarantee you there were as many Internet zealots but they were harder to find due lack of social media. But forums, chat rooms, even good old BBS were full of them

        > Apparently, blockchain fanatics would have us put our faith in an anonymous cartel subject to no rule of law, rather than trust central banks and regulated financial intermediaries. Roubini fundamentally misunderstands how distributed ledgers work.
