The problem is crypto has proven very volatile when it should theoretically be a hedge against govt controlled currencies. The crypto crash of a couple of years ago while inflation was skyrocketing really shook my confidence in it. I’d like to see it ultimately replace govt backed currencies, but it’s going to be a while if it ever succeeds in that regard.
I own some Bitcoin because I want something that cannot be inflated to oblivion by government and can’t be stolen by them if you put it in a paper wallet, not an exchange like Coinbase.
