While you’re pondering this important question the author raises, I‘d like you to zoom out for a moment and remember how, when Amazon first released the Kindle, the entire World (especially the majority here) would have betted the farm on paper books being extinct by now.

But instead, we read an enthusiast‘s blog post lamenting the innovation‘s niche-of-a-niche status, which it cant leave neither through super cheapness nor through feature improvement, since that would be too expensive.

Keep this in mind when the next technology (crypto, ai, …) is sold to you as this fatalistic all eclipsing event (on which you have got to spend money on now or else).
