      “Real currency” also gets created or destroyed by a government at whims. Anybody clutching their USD rn isn’t going to benefit in the long run.

            Real currencies are far more stable and are unlikely to suddenly disappear. It can occasionally happen, but it’s rare. Cryptocurrencies are a ponzi scheme.

              Consumer price indexes and exchange rates are constantly fluctuating, although admittedly BTC temporarily lost half its value a few times while it climbed from $0.09 to $106,154.15 in 15 years.

              The price goes up alongside adoption rates, at this point it takes a massive amount of funds to manipulate, like tens of billions.

              The vast majority of scammers ask you to wire transfer funds out of the USA or purchase gift cards.

              I agree with you that smaller coins are all pointless and terrible investment but I do see possitive potential for Crypto in the future as a means of people resisting central agencies.
