When did you really made a Bitcoin transaction the last time? Did you encounter any problems? Technically? High-Fees?
I guess a lot of people are thinking and acting like you. It seems that Bitcoin is not seen as a peer-to-peer transaction system anymore.
Umm… I don’t think anyone has really seen it as a medium of exchange for a long time.
It’s a speculation vehicle, that costs an obscene amount of power. Hopefully one day soon we’ll run out of “greater fools” to buy in and it can all come to an end.
All speculative bubbles burst. That’s why they’re created: to profit off investors until that point in time.
The thing that makes crypto worse than other bubbles is that it provokes investors to waste energy resources in the process. And since everyone can mine, they create the illusion of risk-free investment. “I only have to keep mining until I break even if worst comes to worst” is a sentence I’ve heard way too much. It’s only true as long as the market doesn’t collapse.
