    even if that claim is true, crypto is still hot garbage that never has done any good to the world what did crypto actually do that was positive, something that isnt some esoteric cryptobro bullshit can you actually, genuinely tell me one, hell, two things crypto actually does that is good?

          It’s that there is significant institutional support to keep the current monitory regime in power. There have been plenty of volatile state controlled currencies too.

              To be honest I don’t know if any currency that was both able to speculated online as well as having no official reserve currencies or ties to a major world economic zone. That combo is volatile, more so than the unpegged currencies of the past or the pegged currencies of today.

              Again there work towards that happening hence why there is some stability.

                lmao, crypto has never worked towards that, it has only gotten worse by the year and is an absolute shitshow now bitcoin, the originator of this trend is just as volatile, 30k for a single coin, seriously? it just takes one person with a lot of them to tank its value in seconds

                “pegged” currency as youd like to call it cant be crashed that easily nor that fast
