I believe cryptocurrency are just traps to get people to give up their wealth.

It’s a 21st century tulip-mania, but without the tulips. Yes, crypto can technically be used to securely trade, if one can only peg its numerical value to an immutable value.

Prior to 1971, the U.S. Dollar was convertible to gold’ gold being an immutable asset. After that linkage was “temporarily” suspended (50 years and counting); surprise surprise, inflation has run rampant.

Yes, at least with the tulip bubble you ended up with a lot of tulips, and not just a thumb drive.
