Thats like WarnerBrothers saying in 1995 That movie streaming will never be a thing because its ridiculous to stream with a 56k Modem.
Now we have Netflix and Youtube etc.
I could go on and on, but the kneejerk resistance is extremely polarised and I feel like preaching the Internet in 1995 to some 65year old Executives at a newspaper.
There was some other interview where Marc Andressen holds a presentation of the Netscape browser and is asked by a reporter what cool websites he can show or think of. He didn't have a good answer and for sure were not able to predict products like Facebook.
Thats just one single exhange fuer one single fiat currency pair
Guess what there is Euros, KRW, Jen, Rimimbi.
Insane to see how buthurt HN is ober missing out on one of the best tech opportunities in the last decade.
Many here will probably hate the big family Christmas gathering because every relative assumes that the geeky guy surly must have bought some bitcoins.
But HN is no better then IBM or Dell. Its always easy to bash IBM and the way they went under, but beeing mid 30s and dismissing Cryptocurrency as fad of some kid traders is just the same.
Having said that, does anyone have an inspirational name for my Yacht? Satoshicruise?
