Hypothetical Scenario:
Let's say that for the next 5 years, 1st generation cryptocurrencies (BTC, BCH, LTC, DASH, etc) spread rapidly across the world.
In 2023 (5 years from now), a new cryptocurrency is invented (let's call it XYZcoin), and it is superior to 1st gen coins.
Bitpay, Coinbase, Ledger wallet, etc all add support for XYZcoin.
1st generation cryptocurrencies (BTC, BCH, LTC, DASH, etc) fade off, and go into the history books, like Netscape, rotary dial telephones, and WWI biplanes.
By 2028 (10 years from now), XYZcoin has spread P2P electronic cash & economic freedom to 7.5 billion people in the world, including poor people in Africa, Cambodia, Guatemala, etc.
By 2028, your crypto net worth is a little less than it is today. You lost some money on 1st gen coins, and made some money on 2nd gen coins like XYZcoin, but overall, you ended up losing a little money compared to today.
In 2028, how would you feel if that's how it all played out?
