You cannot destroy wealth. Crypto is just more of the “imaginary bull**** wealth”...intagible assets are not assets at all, just deception.

I admit I’m a doofus, but what is the value of crypto-currency based on? What is it tied to? I’m just confused.

But people do really get their real bank accounts wiped out. (Of course, we would always argue about whether money in the bank is real or not!)

The way it was explained to me was like this:

Let’s say you go across the Sea to mine for A precious rock.

On the way back the rock falls overboard. You still own the Rock but it’s at the bottom of the Sea.

Since you own it, you can sell it to somebody else willing to buy it.

That’s what you’re buying when you buy bitcoin.

No I am not kidding.

I don’t understand the concept of crypto-currency either. It seems to be based on nothing.

You've heard of "fiat money" which is based on the faith and credit of the United States? When crypto-currency is based on NOTHING.

Buying opportunity - I buy more at every downswing. Its volatile and not for “nest egg” funds.

#12: "I don't understand the concept of crypto-currency either. It seems to be based on nothing."

Apparently you really do understand the concept of crypto-currency. When the SHTF try buying a loaf of bread with "crypto-currency". If that doesn't work, try a cabbage patch doll.

I cannot imagine thinking that I owned something that someone, whose reputation and character are unknown to me, sold to me for hard cash and I can’t see it or touch it. Maybe I would buy it if I could tell him I’m a Nigerian princess with a 10 million inheritance that I can’t get my hands on right now and he’d have to sell “it” based on my claim.

Imaginary currency is unstable? Who’d a thunk it? Next, they’ll be telling us that fiat currency is subject to inflation. Pffft.
