Nailed it.
There are a few who still care about the tech and sincerely believe in the revolution, but the influx of scammers and hot money (I call them fast cash chasers) is kind of repulsive. Bitcoin has lost its way and the old power is moving in on the sector....but I'm still a believer.
Don't lose faith, just get in there and support the good guys and the good tech. If you're smart enough to figure out who/what they are you will see the revolution and it's ideals are not dead.
