Days Since a Cryptocurrency Exchange Has Lost More Than $100M
I don't understand people who constantly make fun of new technologies that we're only recently about to figure out how to make right. Like people obsessed with making fun of IoT (I don't own any IoT besides a smartphone) or cryptocurrencies (I own a bit). Isn't it normal for new techs to be failing at the beginning? Do we really need to ridicule these nascent techs just because they're not perfect for now?<p>It's like people making fun of first airplanes 150 years ago (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp7MHZY2ADI" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp7MHZY2ADI</a>). First attempts to fly were full of huge failure, many leading to deaths. Many people ridiculed the very idea we would one day do mass travel by plane.<p>I thought of anyone, we should know better than making fun of new tech having some failures, this is how tech works. Because one day, one of these techs may take off like these planes eventually did and you will be the one looking like a fool then.
