Ever since Bitcoin came onto the scene in 2009, I have been generally skeptical of crypto currencies. While I tend to be an early adopter of new technologies, I was not the type to build a computer to mine the early Bitcoins. Later as it gained real value, it got swarmed by speculators and flippers attracting the Wall Street Bro types who became Crypto Bros. Bitcoin went from the digital equivalent of gold mining cultural, to the crypto version of stock exchange speculating and gambling, and neither interested me.
