    I think most people don’t understand cryptocurrencies. On one side it’s all hyperbolic about being your own bank and financial freedom and new tech, on the other side it’s hyperbolic about how there is no underlying value, it’s all going to 0, scams, drugs, terrorism, money laundering,…

    But the fact is that crypto does have an underlying value. It’s gambling. Gambling is a huge industry.

      Congrats, now you understand fiat currency. It only has value because we agree on it.
