When did the value of crypto become the only thing we focus on?

I remember hearing about a new revolutionary currency that was going to change the world, bank the unbanked, and allow anyone in the world to instantly send each other money. The plan was about peace, love, harmony, and bringing the world together as one. When I look at reddit, twitter, forums, or the news, the only thing people are talking about now is the market, and how much the prices are going up. Did everyone forget what the original plan was?

Sure the markets are great for media exposure, but wow did things change in the past few years. Money has converted this movement into a war. Greed has taken over. People are more concerned about their coin "going to the moon" than helping others.

I realize I sound like a hippy, but I'm just throwing my thoughts out there. I hope everyone enjoys the holidays, a time to consider helping each other.
