A few years back, we witnessed people calling Bitcoin (BTC) a scam, a gateway to buying drugs and a currency for illegal transactions.

Of course a lot of people realize by now that cryptocurrencies in general and Bitcoin (BTC) in particular is here to stay. During the correction, people like Jamie Dimon first targeted Bitcoin (BTC) itself but when they received a lot of criticism for that, they started saying, “maybe blockchain is here to stay but Bitcoin (BTC) is not”. The market was down and the sentiment was already against Bitcoin (BTC) so some people bought this idea. We saw some debates around if Ripple (XRP) or Ethereum (ETH) could ultimately replace Bitcoin (BTC) or maybe another cryptocurrency in future may come up to replace all of them. However, the market proved a lot of these people wrong. Even during the correction, investors had the most confidence in Bitcoin (BTC) compared to other cryptocurrencies.
