> So that means 'this time' you know exactly what happens after this 'useless FOMO going on' crashes again?

I sold at 18 k in 2017, that was almost spot on. None of the fundamentals why i sold have changed.

You could have just looked up stablecoin and give me a better trend if you even remotely bothered. Bitcoin is the top search. You can't even see the interest in stablecoin in comparison: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=...

The unrelated coin is one that is created by the countries themselves, there are currently 10 k. Coins, it would be naive to think that a country would adopt an existing coin since it's easy to create.

Just read the news, none of them are adopting an existing one... It's also a minimal effort to look it up, if you bothered.

Companies already implemented and removed it before. Bitpay, circle, coinbase is directly correlated to crypto. The other ones have like a 4 person team on it. It's a neglectible effort for the "what if" case. ( Eg. Stripe had > 4 k. Employees and 4-5 people working on crypto)

Here's another one: https://www.infoq.com/news/2021/06/microsoft-drops-azure-blo...

> Microsoft credited industry changes and declined interest in the product as the main reasons for discontinuing the marketing of Azure Blockchain.

Declining interest also with AWS : https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=...

It's not even reaching halve it's 2017 peak.

But i understand, you don't have any resources to show that anyone actually cares outside of the FOMO.

Note: if you consider El Salvador that tweets "bought the dip" every month as a serious comparison to the real world, that's pretty silly. They wanted the first movers advantage, let's see how that plays out in reality.

A long way of saying they are developing their own CBDCs, which again we both know it would be extremely silly to run a Google Trends search and comparison on 'CBDCs' against Bitcoin for something that is also too early, recently launched or still in development to draw definitive conclusions due to the trialing, regulations and uncertainty in all of these projects. (Even already admitted by you.)

So once again, it is too early for both and as this whole thread has revealed, no-one has worldwide substantiative data on this (yet).

Dropping your home grown solution and partnering with a dedicated and better one means 'blockchain' in general has failed? So the partner, Consensys (Who is also part of a CBDC technology group in Asia and Europe) has closed down their blockchain offerings too and their customers can't run it on Azure either?

> But i understand, you don't have any resources to show that anyone actually cares outside of the FOMO.

Everyone in this thread has admitted and proven that no-one has definitive and extensive sources on payments with stablecoins or even CBDCs as both are too early, still developing / planning or they are still trialling it? I never brought up or mentioned anything about Bitcoin in this whole thread, yet you cannot and will not ignore it. Everyone is waiting for regulations in all of this.

> Note: if you consider El Salvador that tweets "bought the dip" every month as a serious comparison to the real world, that's pretty silly.

Did I argue that, mention or make a comparison towards El Salvador's Bitcoin buying problem anywhere?
