Tim Draper is a multimillionaire that is over the moon with bitcoin and heavily HEAVILY invested in it.The Winklevos brothers are absolutely enthusiastic about bitcoin.Mike Novogratz recently said he had never felt more positive about bitcoin than now.There's many more of these kinds of people. These guys are not dumb. In fact these guys are more successful than probably anyone in this sub. And they don't seem to have any reservations. And yet...... I don't see it...I look at bitcoin and I see a crypto that has failed to become what it set out to be. And what it has turned into is a mere shimmer of what it could have been, lightning LN is a joke and then I read: "Bitcoin: Store of value." "It has value because people say it has." "Bitcoin has won!" - Give me a break?!What's going on here? Are people blind? Am I blind?Those guys I mentioned are at the literal forefront of bitcoin development. These guys make investments in developments, see tech being made that probably won't reach us for months or longer. Do they see something, know something, I don't?I've been here from 2012-2013. I've seen Mt Gox, I received the bitfinex haircut, seen the bitstamp bearwhale in action, I've seen public manipulation, I've seen fork debates and fork debacles. I have seen bitcoin slowly get crippled. I've seen bitcoin's promise and premise shrink from Gods financial gift to mankind of freedom, to "Store of value! lalala".And yet here are these people. These Titans... But I can't for the life of me justify putting even a single dollar into bitcoin without feeling like a complete jackass... Am I missing something? What the hell am I missing?It's not a super big deal or anything. I'll keep happily investing in other cryptos with which I feel very comfortable and happy and even proud, like I felt with bitcoin years ago. The question just keeps chewing at me: Am I so clueless? I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.
