People disliking crypto is not proof that "we're still early"

It's happening again and again. People somewhere - on other subs, in the media, in public, in stories posters have made up to be able to say "we're still early" - say something negative about crypto. Just in the past few weeks, people have taken gamers heavily disliking NFT integration in Ubisoft games and soccer fans disliking crypto as proof that we definitely are very early.

In some cases - for example with most of these soccer fans on Reddit - they don't even really say anything negative about crypto. They disliked how "Crypto subs turn into MLM's/Hybrid ponzis. They use all the same language as well talking about investing in [garbage] as being part of a community/army/team" and how crypto people can be really annoying - yeah, hard to argue against that. In other cases people voice legitimate critizism and dislike how they are immediately shouted down by crypto bros who classify everything negative about crypto as FUD.

And yeah, some people just dislike crypto. Maybe some even dislike it because they misunderstand some aspect. You know what? That's also not proof we're early. So many people dislike smartphones. Social networks, Hell, even the internet. Cars! Are we early to these things? People have so many misconceptions about the internet, even though by now it's been around for decades. What about other financial products - do you really think most people like or even understand stocks? I heavily doubt that - and they've been around for centuries.

We don't, and can't, know whether we're early, all we know that we are not really early, we're way too mainstream already, obviously. Are we somewhat early, are we late? No idea, let's hope for the former. But: I know many of you are reeeeally passionate about crypto, I really like it a lot as well. But not everyone is like you, and even if you can't understand that, not everyone will like crypto, even if they have a perfect understanding of it. So no, if you see someone disliking crypto that's definitely not a sign of us being early.
