Why do so many people have such staunch opinions on cryptocurrency?

Why can't this market continue to exist in 10 years?
Why does it have to be $1,000,000 BTC or $0 BTC.

I just dont get why people relate investing in fledgling new age tech as literal gambling

Boomers in particular REFUSE to learn new technology and HATE being forced to do it. They double down their ignorance with arrogance. Others are just NPC's who don't understand the implications of decentralized internet currency. To be fair, most normies walking around don't even know how the current economic system dominated by central banking works, so how can you expect them to care about an alternative? Same goes with privacy concerning data. Majority don't realize or care how much companies are harvesting from them which is why the digital panopticon is allowed to exist. The only thing that wakes some of them up is the smell of ridiculous, asymmetric profits. If all you see from the outside is absurd profit it's quite easy to classify the entire movement as a fleeting scam.

Because they either want to win big, fast ($1,000,000 BTC) or not to feel like shit for missing out ($0 BTC).

You kidding? Boomers hate all of that shit, not a single boomer will say anything positive about electric cars, making an order at mcdonals without hassling the een at the register or about AI saving the life of truck drivers.

Kill all fucking boomers now

it could continue to exist at $8000 per coin in 10 years but it is unlikely because reasons. it will never go to zero because fat nerds like me will buy the coins no matter what the price is. $1m per is more likely because at it's core bitcoin is a technology that more people will adopt as the virus spreads and more people become educated and aware of what it actually is
