Let's face it.
Cryptocurrency amounts to nothing but ALTERING REALITY through Babylonian Money Magick.
You cannot fight Federal Reserve Babylonian money magick with crypto Babylonian magick.
And then the Pinnacle of insanity is NFTs.
It is basically the equivalent to something among the lines of me saving a picture from here and charging millions over it and then everyone somehow believed it.
It would be a neat control plan aside when people tend to forget how STALE the elites are.
Basically when all of America collapses to communist revolution and civil war (with each section ruled by warlords who kill opposition on sight) and the rest of the world falls to full blown deprivation alongside government purges because of WWIII, all the Crypto is gotta be pointless.
Bonus when Russians start hacking into the Grid and killing every electronic device, which would be conveniently blamed on EMPs (the lethality of EMPs have as little backing as the lethality of covid-19).
So yeah, Crypto is allowed to run amok because the fools will just blindfold themselves and DIE.
Once the real deal comes, all of your "stonks" will literally EVAPORATE.
Alternative sites like this are split on crypto, but the pro-crypto side on conspiracies.win, over time, stopped responding to the anti-crypto crowd, which is fairly relentless and largely derogatory. Debates are rare. When procrypto folks, or at least those who understand it, are told to "get off my lawn" by those who don't understand it.
Lots of fence sitters who have a bit of their earnings coinbase wallets but who stay silent.
Me, I well aware that a digital dollar is a terror we must avoid, and that cash is king. But it's also true that crypto is free speech money, without it Gab wouldn't exist, and it funded wikileaks. That's the biggest benefit.
Meh, crypto is a wild west right now. There are pump and dump schemes, etc. etc. And as the saying going, when the shoe shine boy is giving stock tips, it's time to get out. Me? I never put more than what I would spend to go out to eat at a fancy dinner a couple times a month on the stuff, but I've made out pretty well and I'm just hodling on the rest.
Crypto right now is like the .com bubble from the 1990s that popped in 2000, where every company promised to revolutionize X or Y using the internet and very few actually turned a profit. It's also like railroad building stocks after the Civil War, and not all the lines actually got built. When all the dust settled, we still had new railroads and internet companies that actually make money.
However, I would note this for you, that institutional banks have "bought in" to crypto, at least to some extent. The kind that are "to big to fail" so to speak. It's here to stay, though not in its final form.
The only crypto worth touching is Monero (XMR), but yeah, I do tend to agree with what you've stated. Literally any physical asset will be of use when the time comes.
When the grid goes down, you have a lot more important concerns, and your physical gold/silver ain't gonna mean much either, yo.
At that point, you need to have some food, ammo, and cigs/booze for trading.
