I bet Biden has some Bitcoins locked somewhere

I entered into blockchain for the disruptive and innovative technology. Watching it grow over the year has been a blast for me as well as other supporters, I'm sure.

But what I learned over the years that very good chunk of people have no clue about Bitcoin and the blockchain technology behind it. They are here because of the profits and money grab. You cannot really call them supporters or adopters because at the first sign of profit trouble, they are out. IF they can't make any money, it's bye-bye for them.

I've talked to a lot of people, some really interested in the tech and some not at all and this is what makes me sad every time I think about it.

People don't understand the technology, they don't want to understand it and they don't care about it, only thing they care about is money. They heard it's good money to be made there.
When you listen to them talk, you instantly realize that they have no idea what they are talking about, nothing makes sense and they are just trying to sell you something they themselves don't understand. When you challenge them on the subject they avoid it with more nonsense or try to intimidate you by raising their voice.

There are of course people who deeply understand the technology and are very involved, which is a breath of fresh air, but every so often you stumble upon the other kind.

I can understand people looking to make a quick buck and then getting hooked up, but to never trying to understand the technology or even care about it seem like a bad news for blockchain/crypto

Just look at some scam coins like OneCoin and Bitconnect. They grabbed their money, and now they are gone, dropped from the face of the earth.
Ian Balina, withdrew his BTC in 2018 and you don't hear from him ever.
John Mcafee, where is he now? He shilled crypto so hard few years ago and now you don't hear about him.
and many many more.....

One time I got connected with a person who was a friend of a friend, interested in doing business together, rich and influential but had no knowledge of blockchain. The first thing he asked me was "is this a scam or a pyramid scheme?"... even before I could say anything.
That was his perception of Bitcoin, blockchain and crypto.

These types of people make the industry and technology look bad altogether.
However, bad marketing is marketing also. At least people hear about Bitcoin and blockchain.

But...

Is this how adoption takes place? Bunch of people who are in it for the money and scram at the first sign of trouble?

This is how adoption looks like. Everyone is getting involved.
It's still not too late to buy, Bitcoin is early stage still.

According to various reports, U.S. President-elect Joe Biden is planning to create another $3 trillion for Covid-19 relief and infrastructure. The massive stimulus plan and the backers behind the Biden administration have made crypto proponents believe that bitcoin will prosper greatly.

Biden Proposes to Finance Covid-19 Relief and Infrastructure With $3 Trillion
Ever since the coronavirus outbreak took hold across America, politicians and members of the U.S. Federal Reserve has distributed massive amounts of dollars to special interests and Wall Street trading houses. Americans did get a stimulus check for $1,200 during the last program, and then $600 per person during the most recent stimulus plan.

"No single person or organization gets to choose who gets amplified and who gets silenced. The power of choice was striped from the user and is now being monopolized by the platform creators."

Metaco SA, an infrastructure provider for financial institutions entering the digital asset ecosystem, has formed a partnership with Frankfurt School Blockchain Center (FSBC) – a think tank and research center in the digital asset sector. According to a release, the partnership will see FSBC support research and development, technical infrastructure, and leverage its network to strengthen Metaco’s service offerings.

Metaco’s SILO solution is an “institutional operating system” for digital assets that has been implemented by BaFin, Finma and MAS regulated banks, exchanges, and infrastructure partners. SILO delivers a full-stack solution that is supported by a diverse range of partners from integrated core banking software partners, security solutions, compliance, and trading to tokenization.

Founded in 2017, FSBC is a research institution studying the implications of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and DLT, and claims an extensive network of industry experts including PwC, eToro, Consensys and the International Token Standardization Association (ITSA).

Seamus Donoghue, VP Sales & Business Development at Metaco said that as a leading digital asset infrastructure partner to regulated banks and exchanges, both in Germany and internationally, they see significant synergies through this new partnership to further accelerate the institutional understanding, adoption, and use of crypto assets in Germany and Europe more broadly.

Technology can be argued to be as old as man itself; various inventions like electricity, steam engines, railways, etc., have all changed the existence of man and how we view the world. However, most of these innovations have now become more of infrastructures with most governments now regulating and owning these spaces. The more recent definition of technology is one that is mostly borne from the invention of the world wide web in 1989. The internet remains one of the most important innovations of mankind and a springboard for most of the massive strides made by man in recent times. The internet opened new ways of interacting, communicating, transporting, educating, as well as other new exciting, and financially lucrative industries. Modern technology has therefore been viewed from the lens of the internet and its derivatives; today when we say products, we are mostly talking about mobile apps or software, almost every business out there has a website and many entrepreneurs are leveraging on so many forms of technology for business with most being enabled by one software or algorithm or the other. Modern technology is digital apps, software, websites, algorithms, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality, fin-tech, blockchain, etc. The power of the tech industry over the years cannot be over-emphasized as can be seen in the domination of the Forbes list.
