 Fun is overrated. Yea, it's great when you have it and certainly attracts people to your activity, but it's way too easy to chase all the time.

I think Bitcoiners have learned this lesson. They're seeing that savings lets you pursue something worth pursuing. Goals, dreams, accomplishments.

Sh*tcoiners have not. They're still all about "fun" and doing so in more and more degenerate ways. It went from disrupting Facebook to digital art to financial games to memes. They've run out of "fun" and are in the depths of despair as they start questioning their life choices.
