My Personal Opinion On Why Crypto Will Never Be Fully Accepted By The World

Hey Steemians,

I had a self-realization moment about crypto and the world we live in today.

As most of the world knows, Houston Texas was devastated by Hurricane Harvey about two weeks ago. Since then there has been millions and millions of dollars in damages done and many people have completely lost everything they've ever owned. It's been a tragedy.

Now I'm a Texas native. I live over 5 hours away from the affected zone, however, I have been effected by Hurricane Harvey actions. Actually, not Harveys actions, but the MEDIA REACTION that followed it's wake of destruction.

This is the world we live in, everyone. Like it or not.

The media put a bunch of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt) over the airwaves during Hurricane Harvey. A news outlet suggested that there will be a pandemic of gasoline shortages due to Corpus Christi gas reserves inability to access cities in Texas.

THERE WAS NO GAS SHORTAGE!!! 3/4 OF TEXAS GAS DISTRIBUTION DOESN'T COME FROM CORPUS (Don't quote me on exact specifics on this)

BUT, the news from the media, created widespread panic. In ONE DAY, every single gasoline station in the entire Dallas/Fort Worth area all the way to the coast of Texas was pumped completely dry. Tons of gas stations as far as El Paso and Lubbock were also pumped dry. There are pictures all over the internet with people from random towns filling up 55 gallon drums full of pump gas. There were local Craigslist and OfferUp ads selling 1 gallon of gas for $20-50.
