Oh yes, I very much agree on Lagarde. I was just referencing that she sometimes speaks positively about blockchain now. But like others she's on the blockchain not bitcoin bandwagon.

It's okay though, one day people will figure it out. I think everybody goes through the same evolution in understanding bitcoin and crypto. They have passed stage 1 where they realized that 'Ok, maybe there is something there' and they are now at the stage where they think they are into alts.

I mean.. 99% of the blockchain projects out there are crap. And I am convinced that in many cases the founders don't know this themselves, because they don't get what the innovation and revolution is at the core. You can see this in Ethereum too. They started out very much on the 'We are better than bitcoin' train but you can tell that Vitalik is having his doubts these days, and he's in it differently than he used to be. Everybody is realizing that it's BTC that matters, and narrative is now shifting to a more 'how can we add/improve on BTC'. Even EOS founders are now saying BTC is likely to succeed and they are suggesting that EOS may be used to scale BTC.

If it took this long for all the altcoin founders to come around, imagine how far off the general public and politicians still are. They're atleast two evolutionary stages behind.
