          The same as everyone else on the planet not desperate to sign up for a pump and dump scheme like crypto.

          Same as my parents and your parents and their parents and everyone’s grandparents and the whole sum total of hundreds of years of human experience in what has been pretty much a prosperous economy.

          But something tells me the whole internet couldn’t stop you from telling us all why we have it all wrong and should instead waste the energy output of Argentina on fake math problems to artificially create a coin…

          Look, the problem with crypto is that while government backed currencies are somewhat abused by governments and financial firms, those two at least keep each other in check some of the time. Since crypto is completely unregulated, Wall Street can make it go up and down as it pleases. It’s basically all Wall Street scrip.
