Shrug whether or not they've missed the boat or are sanguine on the future of crypto and it's all a house-of-cards filled with hucksters doesn't matter. I just don't see why we need to beat this on the head over and over and over and over again, despite no new news. The anti-greenwashing is the one that really gets my blood boiling because of what a large distraction it is to real climate change issues.
This whole thing is just bringing the level of discourse here down, and I've been on HN for a long time.
"missed the boat" somewhat implies that blockchain technology is already being used for anything except the backing for pump-and-dump schemes and the punchline for jokes.
Unless you mean specifically "missed the opportunity to make lots of money", in which case sure, that's absolutely accurate, but if I wanted to gamble I'd just go to a casino.
