wasn't it always like that ?

They aren't coming until the have to.

People think it's a scam because bitcoiners are always doing sleazy shit. Not all, but many. It's not a good look.

It's like climate change: some people will let the dollar kill them and their loved ones while they stay in denialism about it, others will start to wake up when they or their loved ones are dying, but almost everyone is fine with continuing lying about it to kill strangers.

So be it. The masses don’t do anything until they are scared of the risks of not doing it.

The masses don't have any money left anyway.

Sad, but true.
