well that's the thing regulation is already coming, xrp for example is the first regulated crypto out there. Bitcoin and ether have trillions of dollars of investments from some of the biggest investment firms in the world and Banks all over the world are adopting it as a store of value so you go ahead and tell me that it's still a scam any more so than any other currency and I'll go ahead and keep investing in crypto.

It's as legitimate as any country's currency, as long as that country is being run out of some random basement closet in Silicon Valley.

everything that you said so far just tells me that you don't understand it. Now I'm not saying that a lot of the crypto out there and actually the vast majority of crypto out there is garbage, that's entirely true, however Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP, Cardano.. and several of the most popular and legitimate companies and technologies out there are exactly that, legitimate.

giant corporations Banks and financial institutions don't put billions of dollars into investments of crypto without validating the asset

And everything you said so far just tells me that you're invested in your sunk cost fallacy.

[-] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So even you recognize that it's not real money until it's cash.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

arguing like this with someone like you is pretty pointless

[-] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You think this is an argument?

Also.... In September 2021, El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as its second legally-recognized national currency alongside the U.S. dollar.

[-] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe you'll be able to retire in El Salvador.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

it's called institutional adoption

[-] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I believe it when I can buy a Big Mac with crypto.
