So are the WEF ‘magicians” purposely destroying Crypto so they can create their currency to rule all the others?

CBDC seems to be the way forward to control the peasants.

I keep thinking of the quote from the anarchist Bakunin: “The destructive urge is also a creative urge.”

What this tends to result in, is a pile of rubble while the Movers and Shakers exult and say: “Look what we built!”

Crypto is the millennials’ version of “investing” in beanie babies. LOL

The wife watches Dr Phil sometimes which I pass on usually but a while back his show was about crypto. After stating at the beginning of the show he knew absolutely nothing about the subject, sure enough he had 3 millennials on touting what a great opportunity it is and one older man explaining that it could be dangerous and a real risk.

The 3 millennials were exactly what you might think, arrogant, cocky and full of themselves all had this little smirk like they knew something the rest of us don’t.

If they were trying to convince people they should invest in crypto they failed.

At the end of the show after all that Dr Phil said he still had no understanding of it. I’m no real Dr Phil fan but I know he ain’t no idiot.

I can piss my own money away, I don’t need any help from an investment opportunity I can’t make heads or tails of. Lol!

I knew someone running a body shop. One day he had about ten rare muscle cars lined up outside. He was selling them for a drug dealer who had his assets seized. Turns out the dealer had bought the cars but never transferred them. Don’t know how it worked out but total value was probably just below one million in 1980’s dollars.

Not true. It’s technology investing, with some unique properties of the cryptoasset class that may add distinct value.

There are revenue-generating, profitable apps and platforms that may be evaluated as one might a stock. There are some trading below book value.

As in the early 00s, there’s still a lot of hype and worthless projects even as high value projects continue to develop.

Crypto was never intended for general public use. It was initially for ‘dark web’ purposes for dealing illegal drugs and pedophilia and other prostitution reasons.

I’m of the opinion that this honeymoon period the public is in with Crypto will not last, because the government is never going to let the public make money free of government taxes and general interference. FedGov wants their cut, and they will get it.
