<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 3973946, member: 4626&quot;]I personally have never really cared how many other people shared my interests, at least as far as if I was still interested in them.&nbsp; If everyone but me stopped collecting coins, it&#039;s not like all coins in the world would disappear.&nbsp; Just means my hobby will get cheaper because of the reduced demand.&nbsp; It&#039;s not something I spend any time worrying about.&nbsp; I also don&#039;t spend any time caring or wondering if anyone in the world will still be collecting coins after I&#039;m gone.</p><p><br /></p><p>In short, I don&#039;t think of coin collecting as a team sport (or any other hobby I engage in, for that matter).&nbsp; It&#039;s nice to be able to share my interests with other people as a topic of conversation, but that&#039;s just icing on the cake, and not key to what makes me interested in my hobbies.&nbsp; I never understood that kind of thinking.&nbsp; I&#039;m very individualistic in all senses of the word.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t believe the hobby is dying, but even if it was, it doesn&#039;t mean my coins will disappear.&nbsp; It&#039;s not something that concerns me at all.&nbsp; As long as coins are still minted I can continue to collect them, and even if that stopped there&#039;s plenty already made.&nbsp; If I was the only person in the world that collected coins it wouldn&#039;t diminish my interest in doing so the least bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also don&#039;t spend any time worrying about what the generations before me or the generations after me are interested in.&nbsp; I don&#039;t choose my hobbies based on popular voting lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
