#12Exactly the type of FOMO and greed that's driving up prices now.
If everyone who should have bought bought then the prices would have been sky high so it's all irrelevant. I guess that's what's happening now. Looking forward to watching the shake out.
I've been waiting for that for years, but it never happened.

#13It's a Coinbase commercial. Good work.

Agreed. The fact that the site only supports Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ether makes me even suspect that it's only purpose is to fan the flames.
Well, someone has to buy these coins for earlier investors to realize their profits.

#15"Should have bought" is nowhere near as painful as "had but didn't see the point and lost the wallet." We were one of the relatively early businesses to accept BTC as a payment option, and even though we only took a few hundred dollars worth of BTC in 2011, it boggles the mind what it would have been worth today.

#16Tools like this just add to the bubble. Pretty much all "ICOs" are just pump and dump. Very few people actually know what they are getting in to.

#18These are the kinds of tools who's design is such that I can't tell if they're evil or brilliant. On one hand, I know it's a manipulation of "could have, should have" -- the fear of missing out or having missed out -- and much like a visual illusion you know it's a completely fake form of regret. At the same time, no matter how much you stare at it, even knowing it's completely fake, you can't make it go away.

It's because its a thin layer ontop of a Coinbase Referral (Coinbase only has BTC/ETH/LTC)
