Most people don't understand that for there to be winners in crypto, there have to be more losers. Coins aren't stocks, meaning they're not tied to a business that sells anything. So where's the money come from? It comes from new people putting their new money in the pot. That's the only way coins increase in value: fresh idiots pouring in their money. So people buying-in today are hoping more idiots come along tomorrow to put yet more money into the pot that they can walk off with. It's half a Ponzi scheme. Like you said, it's gambling.

In the new TRUMP coin it's also inside trading. It's like crypto is another modern art scheme.

Absolutely. Insider trading laws don't apply to crypto, even though you're still paying capital gains and they've counted as liquid assets. I'm telling you, the whole thing is being exploited by all the old guys who knew the game back int he 80s.

The price of electricity, processing "labor", rarity, etc.

Hate to break it to you, but precious metals aren't worth anything either. They literally just sit in the ground. I don't feel like writing, again, why they are worth anything, but most people get it wrong.

Trying to understand wealth and what makes things valuable is an entire branch of economic theory that can't be fully explained in post on a forum. If you're interested, study it. Bitcoin just reached 108k. It's been around almost 20 years. You can be mad if you want, it won't change anything.

Not an entirely good analogy. There are stocks that work exactly the same way. There are companies that never turn a profit but their stocks keep going up.

The exceptions aren't the rule, dummy. Of course there are stocks like those, but those are not considered successful stocks. But even so, those stocks are still governed under the same rules as the legit stocks. Crypto is a "Wild West" with no rules. Even insider trading laws don't apply to crypto. It's all a fucking scam. Now tell the class how many times you've "bought the dip."

A few times i tried to buy the dip, but I found that the best strategy is to buy crypto and not touch it.

Isn't crypto more of a metastock of an intangible good/service (medium of exchange) that only exists in encrypted form?

The fact that people are investing in this and profiting is some next level jew magic.

Full disclosure - I made probably mid 6 figures in crypto so I'm biased.

A few years ago, I thought like you - that crypto was BS - and for the most part it absolutely is. Outside of the main ones like BTC LTC and ETH it's mostly horse shit and scams. Stuff like "filecoin" and crap like that have absolutely no actual viable usage. I thought that all crypto including BTC were horse shit because they had no tangible value. Then I realized neither does USD, EUR or most other fiat currencies. They are backed by nothing and printed out of thin air. Bitcoin is at least - in some form - backed by electricity and computing power. You can't just up and create a bitcoin from nothing.

Really it's fiat money that is the jew magic. Crypto is arguably the best thing we have short of returning to some commodity-backed currency. It's not perfect, but it's better then jews creating money out of thin air.

This. It's gambling.
