I do think that crypto does have a place in the future, but not as a security, which is the current mindset behind most crypto.

Where others deposit large amounts of wealth into a pile... and that money is supposed to grow infinitely....

That's not how you use a currency like the USD or British pound are used. Money is a tool for us to understand the value of our items that we exchange or our labor that we create.

It has to circulate like a blood flow through an economy. And crypto is treating it more like a blood clot.

I think cryptocurrency has the best shot at relevance as a medium for internet tipping. Unlike processing most financial transactions its comparatively quite easy to accept tips and donations via cryptocurrency plus it allows very good portability between exchanges if you setup your infrastructure correctly. Almost everything else people and companies try to use it for appears to be nothing more than a grift of some sort, or at the very least profiting off of someone getting grifted

I guess people are just tired of the currently rigged stock market. Wall Street and Hedge Funds have made it such that they never lose. It's not cool that the SEC is not unbiased and even the U.S. Govt has interest in making anybody lose vs. the incumbents.
