Cryptocurrency is not a currency, and thank god. Who wants their currency to be so volatile? It’s not an actual asset either. It is not tied to anything tangible, and exists only by the whims of those who believe it has value. The fact that some people make a lot of money just fuels the “get rich quick” aspirations of the disenfranchised. But most of those getting rich are just preying on others. Making a few thousand dollars here and there just keeps you putting more money into the bet. That’s how casinos win.
