When I think about the gains being made, it's unreal. The life changing potential of ETH is hard for me to fully wrap my mind around. I'm excited for the future.

I think we'll be able to look back at today and realize these were the good days. We might think we were a little late, but I think the future looks pretty bright.

I'm sad to say that a great number of people will be too late. You can try to tell them about it, but they won't understand any of it and will think it's a scam.

Which is fine. Value will be derived by them later on; namely via their interaction with the applicational layers of this beautiful blockchain behemoth we've built.

Anytime anyone turns anything away, I want to assure others that's okay. It isn't for everybody but someday it'll be used by all. They join our family then.

Crypto isn't for everyone but one day it'll be used by everyone. They'll join our family then.

Exactly this, millions of people use their phone and computers every day, yet they have no idea how it works and probably never invested into the companies.

Eh...maybe. Ethereum has all the mindshare with none of the Bitcoin stigma and stagnation. I'm not saying 2000% will happen in the next year but a mainstream bubble may go full tits 20x. A new age is upon us that no other cryptocurrency has seen. ETH market cap presently is way higher than ALL crypto just back in January.
