To be honest, I don't remember life with 3D printing and Bitcoin.

all the hype leading up to that was so absurd. When it was unveiled, I was like a kid at Christmas getting socks and apples.

it has definitely changed the way Atlanta's trade-show/tween dance competition "tourists" get around downtown though. wheeeee.

It's funny that people want to believe raw materials and actual engineering design are just minor details.

Granted, in retrospect, we all got PT Barnum'd but in sort of fairness, one of the big Silicon Valley VCs said it was going to be bigger than the Internet and, by that point, the Internet had exploded into being as awesome as advertised so we were willing to suspend our skepticism a little.

Lesson learned.

Is 3-D printing gone or something?

You may not, and several otheres here may not, but the marketplace acceptance of bitcoin is expanding. I'm glad I bought in at $20.

I don't know what 3D printing is. Don't know what bitcoin is. But I've been trying to learn how to chip from 20 yards out for 50 years. Still can't do it.
