I often think about this response, which was made before I was using Bitcoin - at the time it was made I was very skeptical of it, due to how it was pitched to me. Too much hype. Which is exactly what this comment tries to counter, and I would have probably come around earlier if I knew about it at the time.

Whenever there is a big acceleration in "adoption" happening, I somewhat feel this, because it feels artificial. Hyped. Real change takes time, and it shouldn't be coming from some shitcoin overtaking Bitcoin.

_{imho especially not one created by Paul that, as you rightly point out, literally does redistribution, like an overlord on a freshly-risen-to-power-trip would do. Pay your frens with stolen coins, from before day 1 even. What a fucking joke of a corrupt mess yo.}

It'll come tho. But patience is a virtue and above all, as long as the hypes keep failing, there is hope.
