I built my startup around one of the few uses of blockchain tech I see that really has utility — timestamping without a trusted source. I'm not anti-crypto, and I own a small amount myself.<p>That said, all these posts are absolute horseshit. We've had John McAfee anticipating million dollar Bitcoins for the last few years, we've had Novogratz spewing more unsubstantiated price predictions, and now someone writing a blog post is doing the same. Maybe it will happen. Maybe. But there's no point speculating on it like this. I could do the same with nearly any other asset or idea, like virtual reality or artificial intelligence or some other buzzword.<p>This just fuels FOMO and hype and does little to advance the cause of decentralization and cryptocurrencies.<p>This is not to mention Bitcoin's biggest problem, which is its distribution. People like Roger Ver and Brock Pierce will not (and <i>probably</i> should not) be the richest people on Earth.
