One of the best things about crypto is that it often overrides opinions. A lot of it is black and white, ones or zeroes, a binary code. With crypto, nine times out of 10, either you can do that thing or you can't. Because, the name 'crypto' should...

Hype is an enemy we don't talk about enough. Hype is what made people buy the Omega X Swatch MoonSwatch just so they could flip it. It worked for a spell but now people are stuck with a watch they don't want. And it got even worse with the Blancpain...
