Anyway I called the crypto scam from the beginning. In saying that there was a lot of money to be made if you were ahead of the curves. So many people bought the peak.
I like gold and silver, as a store of value, not as objects of worship. Silver must be refined before we are able to make precious things from it, in the same sense we need to be refined.
It seems like finance as an institution is pushing towards a digital currency which will use something like blockchain. However it won't be decentralised, like people are finding out, when the government legalises marijuana, it doesn't mean you can grow it in your backyard for its fruit. It means like tobacco, it is a federal crime to grow and sell, up to ten years in prison. The government regulates it and increases the price every year.
Seriously people are paying $250 for 10 grams of "medical cannabis" when that is more than double the street value and the quality is often lower than the best home growers.
I am against legalising weed, lol.
If you have bitcoin you're holding someone's bag. I am often told I am holding a bag for storing value in gold and silver, from people who have gold and silver in their names.
Private ownership of gold and silver was outlawed and stacks were confiscated in the last financial collapse. It is better for them to get ahead of the curve.
