Yeah, that was my feeling about Bitcoin a few years ago after dabbling in it and then getting out (to the tune of 1.25 million... which of course would be much greater now, had I held any... sigh)
I originally got into it for the technical aspects of mining being interesting. Then all the speculators came in, then I realized that (perhaps due to my Psych major) I was pretty good at predicting local price maxima, but then after a time that felt too much like stealing from the dumber, which is not a vibe that brings happiness to me, so I got out of it. I'd rather use my intelligence to produce value by coding.
