I'm old enough to remember Bruce Lee, which means I could very well be 14 years old now??. What I mean is when something is so real, so different, so obviously authentic yet revolutionary, it survives the test of time. Even kids nowadays know who Bruce Lee is. I don't want to diminish the legacy of others by making comparisons, but I bet you there are a dozen martial artists, fighters and other athletes you remember form a decade ago that the younger generation has absolutely no idea of today. After Bruce Lee passed away, there were countless imitators and lookalikes that emerged trying to 'be the next' Bruce Lee, it was so widespread and massive it was called Bruceploitation. To state the obvious, that's what over 80% of the cryptos out there are in this current Cryptoploitation: Just imitators trying to get noticed based on the success of Bitcoin.
Bruce Li is Bitcoin Diamond, Brian Lee is Bitcoin Gold, Bruce Lai is Bitcoin2, Bruce Lies is of course Bitcoin SV??, this can go on for an hour but you get the idea. One of those people that started emerging in the Kung-Fu world was Jackie Chan. Now Jackie Chan did however make it big and create a name for himself, but that wasn't due to his Kung-Fu talents or acting skills that resembled Bruce Lee, no Jackie Chan only began to get noticed and appreciated as sort of a comedy character in Kung-Fu movies. That's how I see Dogecoin, not necessarily a serious fighter, but still one that made a name for itself and filled a certain demand. But in the end, when something is so successful people are mainly interested in that and all the things around it, for example in it's roots. Regarding Bruce Lee, that's of course his Wing-Chung teacher in Fo Shan which is of course why the numerous Ip Man movies became such a global success. With Bitcoin, that's a bit of a puzzle but to the best of my knowledge I'd say that would be Bernard Von Nothaus. But Bruce Lee didn't just show off his fighting skills in movies, he intelligently revolutionized the fighting world by introducing style-free fighting solely based on asking why certain poses or attacks exist today that are basically obsolete and why one can't replace a kick or punch from style A with style B to improve overall effectiveness. Nowadays that's known as MMA; mixed martial arts. Is that what Ethereum or Bitcoin Cash are? The subtle yet intelligent adaptation yet improvements to Bitcoin? IDK but here's the main thing, Bitcoin is far from dead. If Bruce Lee were to fight in today's MMA with the form he had in his 20/30s he'd hands down beat everyone and anyone. It's been over a decade and still no one has to date beaten Bitcoin, though Ethereum came close though in 2018 with the flippening. All these imitations that are emerging in the Cryptoploitation are doing so while Bitcoin is thriving more than ever and are basically here to play in on people's greed and psychological weakness that they somehow 'missed the boat' regarding Bitcoin and they thus have to look for the next big thing. If you have any negative experiences with any of those cryptos, just know that it's OK as long as you've learned from it. Learn how to recognize originality even if it's in a sea of duplicates, that's the key takeaway from all this.
PS Though the comparisons are based on my real views, this is mostly written as jokes and satire and by no means meant as any disrespect to those that emerged in the Bruceploitation.
