Bitcoin: 4.7% believed to be in the hands of a single person, another 3.1% in the hands of four addresses. Deflatory so no incentive to use it to make transactions. Value depends on the network effect (i.e. a pyramid scheme). Small transactions now too expensive to be realistic. 24% of the supply was created in the first year, 35% over two years. Movement of funds takes too long to be useful. Those who got in early are guaranteed to be richer than those who got in late without having made any effort...

Crypto would be great as a replacement of the stockmarket but it's fighting to be cash instead and it's doing a bad job of it because it's cash as envisioned by tech bros, not actual economists.

I love posts like this, it lets me know most people still don't have the first clue what they're talking about. It's honestly a bit impressive how nearly every point you tried to make is either misleading or straight up wrong.

I love posts like this, it lets me know most crypto lovers don't have the first clue what they're investing in. It's honestly a bit impressive how you didn't even try to actually argue against what I said because it's just a list of facts.
