This here is probably the source of our disagreement. As far as I can tell, tons of people actually are saying "get in now", which means we're no longer in the patience and investment stage, and any deficiencies in the cryptocurrency ecosystem have real consequences.

Yeah, I think you're right. There are all of these people who bought in because they just wanted to make money, and they're getting impatient and trying to get the rest of the world in too.
