UPDATE:
Now that we're seeing the crypto market reach ATH, notice that this is not driven by any sort of use-case or practicality. It is, as it has always been in the past, driven by price speculation.
People asking me if I still think crypto is a scam because "number is going up" have failed to understand that the entire point of this video is how "number going up" is all you care about. The technology itself is just a cover for that.
If the industry actually found a use-case that justified its value and the harmful externalities it causes I would be more than happy to say I'm wrong, but it hasn't and it's been 15 years.

Fiat currency is the biggest Ponzi Scheme ever. Way bigger than Bitcoin.
Best video of 2023, pack it up.
Fuck. Mkbhd himself 😮

Now be Honaust.. what do you think about Bitcoin? Scam or legit?
If you sir put a stamp of approval on the video, it means that it's definitely the best of the year. Incredible!
The man himself is here!
The fact that these influencers are paid in DOLLARS not COINS to promote those coins SHOULD speak VOLUMES. And should be enough to rest any skeptical’s argument and prove their point!
"Yeah, but when it becomes popular enough, cryptocurrency will make dollars obsolete!!!" /s
That’s actually a really great point! Thanks for sharing it :)

The reason the influencers are all saying "HOLD" is because if YOU sell, THEY loose money. They want you to HOLD so they get their money first. Then, to hell with you.

You do realize fiat money has unlimited supply and no intrinsic value right?
@FRUclips-n8c you do realize the us dollar gold redemption is temporally not permanently restricted
@@FRUclips-n8c Yes absolutely. But our currency is being manipulated for stability and to AVOID hyper-inflation. That's why nobody keeps US Dollars as an investment. Its generally loosing value but very slowly, unlike these virtual coins and NFTs. The people who run them WANT wild fluctuations making it highly highly risky.
My sister and I used to joke that NFTs and Crypto were like MLMs for tech bros. It’s good to call this stuff out. No disrespect to the people that bought it, no one deserves to be scammed.
The hype was too much but tbh its a revolution regardless

I'm a blockchain developer. And although I don't agree on the point that blockchain doesn't have a solid usecase, but I actually appreciate the fact that there are people who are reasonably skeptic about this technology. It helps to keep everyone's feet on the ground.
All I agree on most of the points raised here. 99% of the 'Cryptocurrencies' are fake and will eventually go bust, play-to-earn models are just MLMs rebranded.
Banking is obviously the world's greatest scam!
Maybe. At least we know who the scammers are and where they live.
So, why add another scam where the responsables usually disappear in thin air!
The Fed runs the biggest ponzi. USDT trying to run a close second.
Don't forget insurance.
HAHAHAH YES..THAT IS WHTA I SAY ALSO !!🤣 Lending you money that does not exist & charging you interest on it.
Don't forget pharmaceuticals, insurance or professional sports
You know there is something wrong when millionaires want to help you get rich for free.
if it sounds great, it's probably fake
you guys who are out of crypto tokens, are f***ing idiots.... with simple research, you can make £ 1000 into £10000 without a doubt... crypto is AGAINST big rich people and banks - it makes everything transparent and available even to normies like me and you :)
Unfortunately people are too greedy and lazy to see through the BS lies that Crypto promises they just hear "Make money without working" and blindly jerk off all over it
Real!!!!
1. people NEVER READ Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper on crypto to understand what crypto is all about - ENDING CENTRALIZED BANKING and putting the power and value of money back into the hands of the people
2. Crypto has been ruined by
a. greedy crypto developers making money off desperate working class
b. the public, who only understands centralized currency paradigm,
c. the public, who turned it into a speculative asset class IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE
d. crypto miners who consolidate power of mining (NAKAMOTO never intended for this in his white paper)
e. celebrities, who like the general public, do not understand crypto, endorsing crypto and thus turning into an even more speculative
asset
f. RUclips gurus who just want to make quick bucks and likes
g. content creators with millions of viewers who also do not know/ understand crypto ruining it
We've now come full circle with crypto - it is now being adopted and absorbed by the very system it was meant to displace - especially with the crypto ETF which REEKS of centralization because investment banks and hedge funds and institutional money are now in control of crypto - totally antithetical to the purpose of crypto
Nakamoto's version of crypto has its flaws - especially the 'proof of work' scheme because now crypto miners are taking their companies public and putting them on the NYSE/ NASDAQ - essentially bringing crypto back into the control of centralized power
Its not too late for crypto - we need a paradigm shift for the next iteration.
I do traditional investing, full stack web development and encryption so I understand this topic deeply. The next version of crypto needs to be directly 100% peer 2 peer, abolish all exchanges (as they become houses of speculation) and abolish proof of work scheme; crypto should NOT BE BASED on mining because that consolidates power to mining farms and crypto generation should be based on something like people's time and value they put into the economy. Crypto SHOULD BE GENERATED from each person's livelihood - crypto SHOULD NOT BE A CONCENTRATED TOP DOWN SYSTEM!
Stuff like this just shows how absolutely desperate most people are to escape their current existence of wage labor
the truth is, crypto made that possible for millions of people. I turned my €310.000 investment in €7.5 million over a period of 8 years. I will never have to work a day in my life again. All thanks to crypto. calling it a 'scam' is just brain rot.
This guy gets it!
As a general rule of thumb, if you're hearing about something that can make you money and get you rich quick, then you're already late to the party, you're the end consumer and someone else is going to get rich off you
Not true 😊

Thank you for your comment. After reading it,I changed my opinion and now disagree with top comment just like you.
@ yeah mean I’ve been hearing about a lot of stuff and watching RUclips videos for years and then I started and now I’m making a good amount of money from my little projects. Goodluck and stay safe out there!
I fully agree. Reason: personal experience
So, gold? Been a thing of value for thousands of years, and still gaining value
The more I see of the world, both online and offline, the more content I am to just exist in my own little bubble, away from it all.
@Jamesjani634 case in point. thanks for reminding me life is good, bot.
Same. I'm very content in my own little bubble. I want no part in the wickedness.
i can relate
@Light What are you talking about, it is atleast better than Bud.
i agree. and yet here we are browsing videos online
I've been studying crypto, trading, investing, technical analysis, etc, for years now. I fully expected to watch this video and disagree with whatever you were going to say. But there's not a single thing I'd disagree with. This is why it's important to not just consume media that supports narratives you believe, but also open-mindedly consume media you think you'll disagree with. Otherwise you're just a victim of the algorithms set in place to reinforce your ideals, leaving you with no actual opinions or free thought
What is the use-case for Bitcoin besides getting in early and then selling at ATH? I suppose they say HODL so when it is a commonly used currency you are already rich in that space, but does anyone think that is ever going to happen? Good on you for being open minded and aware of the dangers of never examining a different point of view. I suggest looking in to Max Azzarello and the Ponzi papers. with your experience being front and center for the show for so many years you will probably be able to piece it together pretty quickly. Max asserts that bitcoin price is tied closely to inflation rates. maybe you can see if that rings true. I wish you well on your journey of truth.
Bruh this is the smartest comment I ever seen in my life, actually I do the same, I'm capitalist but I like to see communist videos to know what they think and how do they end up with their conclusions (but i still think they are deeply wrong haha) greets from Colombia
But isn’t that what we are already experiencing with the internet and computer machines. Taking advantage of the ability to create ideas to reinforce our belief thru codes. That’s the basics of human civilization my dear. We are just doing it this time with code coz humans have always failed us. Crypto is the future of the internet. Web 3.0 is a spinning wheel and will thrive as time beacons for néw innovation…
I'd agree with a video recommended about that 😅
@@artistblancothat’s not communism, he’s just exposing the scammy world of crypto.
Also there is difference between socialism and left leaning views, and communism. But the US tends to mistaken the two for some reason.
Good on you for watching opposing ideas from yours though. That’s the best way to test your opinions and ideas
Just leaving a comment to see how well the video ages.
so far it's aged terribly
@backwardsyoga it hasn't. If anything, he's more right than before. Nfts are still worthless and crypto is a significantly bigger ponzi scheme now, while cryptos are still not being used as currency
@@backwardsyogawe will see in 5-10 years time
He has valid points. You just need to stay away from HawkTuah and other meme coins. This includes etherium. Bitcoin is separate not part of the scam.
@@noahj1144Yes we will. He'll probably so embarrassed he'll delete this video by then.

A bit one dimensional there. Some people struggle and believe it is a wealth and an investment. Have empathy.
@@memycellsandi true, you invest?
What always baffles me is that people completely trust influencers. The name influencer should be all the red flag you need. Their job is to convince you to do things, and 99% of that is to spend your money to benefit themselves.
It might surprise you, but its because they are stupid as fuck.
When you say “influencers” if you’re referring to people like Michael Saylor, and Saifedean Ammous … YEP! I’ll believe what they say about Bitcoin!!
@@BitcoinBoomer64 You should never put your trust in a public figure like that. It's one thing to say you support Bitcoin. It's something else entirely to say you support Bitcoin _because of somebody else._ That's just weak beta cuck- shit-.
Anyone who trusts an influencer or celebrity deserves to be scammed
@@runningman2989 Sounds like you’renot familiar with Michael Saylor, and Saifedean Ammous
Is this video available as an NFT?
If it is it'd have to be loaded on BSV blockchain, I believe.
Dude! That is really funny.
Yes bidding starts at 1.5 million 😂
@@esmith272people think that’s funny but something is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it.
A NFT is digital scarcity.
You could tokenise your house as a NFT and that’s registered on the housing market blockchain of choice.
Everyone can see openly that you own that house.
When you sell your house you sell the rights to your house as a NFT (NFTs can’t be duplicated so that’s where the scarcity and authenticity is proven)
People are focusing on silly pictures selling for millions instead of the technology that is revolutionary
Absolute scarcity and proof of ownership has never been achieved or verifiable until now.
These video will age like milk in the next 20 years
😂. You’re the goat Patrick!
They called it a scam at $1, at $10, at $100, $1k, at $10k, now at $100k. They will call it a scam at $1 million.

@JamesJaniyt shut up scam bot.
It’s easy when you don’t need to worry about facts or anything.
yeah
Honestly, it’s a good story, and he told it well
The amount of "get rich quickly" ads on this video is absurd and hilarious.
This is a wonderful documentary, thank you so much for your work! 💕
I watch a channel called Hannah Alonzo who talks about MLM's and how they're scams. She mentioned her channel also gets a lot of ads from MLM's, but it's a good thing. Since the RUclips algorithm can't distinguish between a channel that is pro or anti-MLM, they just slap them on any channel that is talking about the subject. So, it means those companies are just losing money with ads being placed on a channel with an audience who has no interest in MLM's. So, if the same is happening with this channel, that is good! Let them continue to waste their advertising money here.
Imagine the irony of getting rich, by making videos of crushing other people’s dreams of getting rich.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley It's actually great news, but Jeez Louise... RUclips couldn't give less of a darn...

And if they were to sell that, to let’s say another large conglomerate they own who would be willing to take the temporary hit, they could crash and kill bitcoin very quickly. So much for ‘decentralised’ eh

They don't invest in scams. This dude works as an undercover government bullshitter.
Did you miss the part about early investors getting rich while later investors go broke? When I was in high school, everyone was planning to get rich through Amway. The problem I saw was that they all were trying to recruit others into the team, and no one was actually selling the products.

Bitcoin does not work well as a money.
the problem is thats not what Bitcoin is and its not how crypto is used ..
Good luck then with something that has no intrinsic value at all and can drop to zero at ANY given moment, BECAUSE it is trustless and has no real backing. All crypto is in the hands of the whales and the ones inventing the particular crypto. Those are the only ones getting rich off of that.
Remember. Even if Bitcoin goes to $500,000 it is only 5 times it's current value. So your $100 would only go to $500. You are not going to become a millionaire with your few hundred dollars, or even your thousands of dollars. What WILL happen is that the whales are going to dump their crypto at a high value, creating an(other) immediate devaluation of Bitcoin, leaving you and your few hundred dollars in the dust.

Basically, I just made my first $300,000 in crypto trading. years of grinding, pivoting and failure, ideas not working out multiple consecutive times, depression, anxiety... but oh man once I saw the balance was over 300,000 - it really made it clear that all those years were worth it and has paid off, and it's a paradigm shift that really lifts a weight off. This comment serves as motivation for all those who have invested and continue to invest in cryptocurrencies with so many losses, do not give up, cryptocurrencies can change your life. Do your best to connect with the right people and you will surely see changes..
wow this awesome I'm 60 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??❤
Evan Dennis. understanding of market indicators is impressive. he knows exactly when to enter and exit trades for maximum profit. his signals are top notch.
Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!
Such a genuine personality!!, Sincerely speaking. I will continue to trade and stick to Evan Dennis daily signals and guides as long as it works well for me❤❤
Any specific guide. I'm from Georgia how do I go about this? I think I'm interested how can I get in touch with mr Evan Dennis

Value is a belief. If enough people believe something has value then it has value. It's goes for everything.....money, gold, art, crypto, books, knowledge.....
Gold can be used in electronics, art can be seen and touched, books contain knowledge and information, crypto is just code on a computer that will be worthless if the power goes out. Physical dollars can least be burned for warmth and coins can be melted into tools.
Well there are fundamentals. You as a human require certain assets and products to live. Those values are not speculative but physical reality. I think our modern economy has become over complicated where financial products stack on top of financial products resold as a financial product rebought as financial product...
Everything in your list also has some tangible usefulness, except crypto
U nailed it
@@iaderesel then, you dont understand crypto :)
If enough people agree something is worth something, then it is worth something, until enough of them decide it is not worth something. Not much different to art, antiques, wine, fiat currency.
Exactly. This video is dumb as fuck.

@@husnainkhalil2554 No it's the exact same as the dollar, which is backed by the value of gold. We all agreed gold was worth something, and that's its rarity.. Bitcoin is rarer than gold.

The dollar seems to have some resiliency. When a crypto holder makes money, where did that money come from?
Those NFT artworks are mainly for money laundering. It's even much easier and bigger than money laundering in casinos.
That was my first thought
It’s similar to money laundering with paintings and fine art - now it’s through digital art
The use case! We finally found it!
It's not that the president's son is engaging in money laundering through artwork, right? lmao you don't need NFT's for that. But you can. lol.
happens in real life to with very expensive paintings and luxury's.
"This time, it's DIFFERENT!"
As an artist I was very excited when I first heard about the NFT's. Because at first it seemed so good for me like "yes, finally artists are able to sell their digital art for the same value as the traditional art."
Then I found out that all of the people who are interested in this "art collection", are stoner classmates from my highschool, unemployed people and influencers... That didn't sound right.
LOL
unfortunate. Because digital artists, who have been creating digital works since the late 50s, see a Non-fungible Token (NFT) as a 'canvas'. And they continue to create and use this 'canvas' to deliver their work effectively and profitably.
Sounds very much like the art market to me.
Why can't I screenshot an NFT that's say worth 10 million but only sell it for 100k?
You can screenshot my butt hairs and paint them as art and sell them for 1 million each and just pay me ten percent like 100k lemme know when you are ready.

Crypto itself is not inherently a scam, but the industry is rife with both legitimate projects and fraudulent schemes. Understanding the distinction is crucial!
I personally got into crypto because it was the only way for me to be paid by my employer overseas due to swift being blocked in my country due to sanctions. (You can probably figure out where I am from.)
It was also a fairly secure way to complete transactions quickly without fearing chargeback from the other party, since everything on the blockchain is permanent and easily verifiable by anyone.
There is genuine use for crypto which doesnt hurt people or the world, but its just not worth the hundreds and thousands of cashgrabs and rugpulls.
I really hope technology gets to live on with projects like Monero, which has a unique and genuine usecase aswell, I just hope the nightmare of get rich quick schemes will come to an end.
Something thinking reasonably. There is CLEARLY issues with crypto, but that doesn't mean we cancel the whole thing.
There are winners there, you just have to look REAL hard.
There are use cases happening right now with crypto mainly within underdeveloped countries for very different reasons (check other comments as well). Bitcoin won't die despite the drop in value. The biggest risk for its existence is if governments start to support freedom and responsible monetary solutions, which is not happening anytime soon.
The company i work for uses blockchain for publicly recording data(many kinds of data, won;t go into detail) that can't be altered! (never made a crypto currency)
Transparency of transactions that can't be altered is key for many use cases including how is the tax payer money spent and where does it go after that!
Web 3 is just an internet where you pay to use a website instead of having a free internet where your data is being tracked and sold!
In crypto the people that got scammed are the ones who wanted to scam others! I don't see SPAC and STOCK scams seeing the same popularity as crypto...
@@MnMEminem So pay to use internet got it
I hate when people talk about crypto as scam... Yes there are a lot of people using it to make loads of money by scamming people but isn't the dollar the same thing? After removing the gold standard the dollar is worse than crypto because it's money printing is controlled by a centralized authority which prints money as they'd like to manipulate markets/inflation/etc. It's controlled by central banks. For me crypto is the better alternative to the current monetary system. Most of the things in this world are as valuable as people make them. Yes, there are things that are scarce like precious metals etc. Look at diamonds for example...
There should be a law against celebrities endorsing scams coz this is happening all over the world
They'll claim ignorance and say they didn't know it was a scam, were just doing it for money.
Let's pass a law that says politicians can't participate in the stock market too
IE Endurance, Car Sheild buyer beware!!
I think any celebrity who knowingly backs up a scam knowing for well and I'm sure they know full well that it's a scam. These celebrities have to know that it's a scam because I'm sure they've got all of the finest people advising them, or at least they should anyways. But any big major figure or celebrity that's involved in a scam like this should automatically lose everything they have. i'm so glad I didn't invest in cryptocurrency because it's terrible for the environment and if I had any real gold to my talent which I know I do, I would steer clear of this type of crap. I'm too passionate about creativity to be involved and get rich quick Ponzi scheme that destroys the environment and waste energy
WTF does a celebrity know about anything except for remembering their lines?
What about Governments printing money from nowhere?
@gregjk The whole concept of money is scam designed by the magicians. The collective belief that a piece of paper with a couple of sigils drawn on it has any worth in the real world is a spell which is cast upon people. And until that belief remains, so will the power to the people who print it. They've headed the society into cities and have given them jobs which only have the potential to sustain the means of living rather than proper scalable businesses where people provide actual value to their community thus build their reputation through real work where they can then attain valuable assets such as land/properties/livestock etc. With the current system you're practically a slave as your currency is useless talisman whose value is entirely controlled and depreciating yearly to ensure that it is practically impossible to attain the simple things one could previously earn through good honest work. Hence the usurious system encourages this greedy, every man for himself, evil culture which leads nicely into why so many people are still interested in bitcoin despite knowing its BS. So the only difference with bitcoin is that it's happening on a local scale where anyone has the licence to create these talismans that people assign value to. And you can see that the most successful bitcoins are the ones promoted by celebrities which in itself is an example of a spell cast upon people where they believe a person who eats and craps just like them in somehow worthy of the masses' attention and adoration. It's all mass psychology and the manipulation of the human psyche which, if you come to learn a thing or to about magic, is the highest form of magic. Because should you learn how to manipulate a crowd to your advantage you can harness their resources and get them to do all the work for you and in the meantime you're simply reaping off the work and consuming of their substance. So its no wonder that most monarchy have their magi as advisors (John Dee for Queen Elizabeth 1) and so long as there are people in this world willing to profit of the backs of others and do anything to attain their wealth nothing will change and, as I'm sure you're aware, it will never change. Seek God because He tells you all about this usurious system which is designed to keep the rich with all the wealth whilst the poor in debt, and the only refuge or consolation anyone has in this system isn't trying to cheat it or game it in anyway, but to be in this world but not of it. That's at least the way I see it and its the only peace i can have within myself whilst living on this earth. All the best to you and may God be with you
Bingo, exactly you get it
James is uneducated in the money system so from his narrow view he sees Bitcoin as a scam when it’s just the evolution of money.
Scarcity, transferability, durability, sovereignty, immune to corruption.
Bitcoin ticks all those boxes
Cash doesn’t as it’s being printed indefinitely and people are working for dollars only for the government to reduce their purchasing power through the creation of more money.

Bitcoin itself isn't a Ponzi scheme. It's a decentralized digital currency. The value of Bitcoin can be volatile, and some people speculate on it, but that doesn't make it a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme is fraudulent and relies on paying returns to earlier investors using new investors' money. Bitcoin, on the other hand, operates on blockchain technology and is traded openly on various exchanges.

@@brucknerian9664 Bitcoin's value stems from several key attributes that position it as a potential store of value, even if its acceptance as a medium of exchange is limited.
Scarcity and Supply Cap: Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million coins, introducing a digital scarcity akin to precious metals like gold. This fixed supply can drive value appreciation over time, as increasing demand meets a limited supply.
Decentralization and Security: Operating on a decentralized network, Bitcoin transactions are verified through cryptographic methods and recorded on a public ledger known as the blockchain. This structure ensures security and transparency without reliance on central authorities, enhancing trust among users.
Divisibility and Portability: Each Bitcoin is divisible into 100 million units called satoshis, facilitating micro-transactions and making it adaptable for various transaction sizes. Its digital nature allows for easy storage and transfer across borders, contributing to its utility.
Market Demand and Perception: Bitcoin's value is significantly influenced by market demand and societal perception. As more individuals and institutions recognize its potential as a store of value or investment asset, demand increases, which can lead to value appreciation.
While Bitcoin's volatility and limited acceptance as a medium of exchange present challenges, these characteristics collectively contribute to its perceived value as a store of value in the digital age.

i just need 51% of computing power and "blockchain" tech can go to hell, yeah 51% is difficult to acheive but not impossible. No country has a bitcoin reserve either its just seized bitcoin from illegal activities why would the government invest in something that loses them control
@@adamnonnenmacher7774are you dumb? El Salvador literally uses Bitcoin as their currency. Japan just introduced xrp among banks and is used as a payment method....
Us has bitcoins and so on
it's really sad, because the broader idea of a decentralized currency that could bypass, for example, bank's transaction fees and processing times, in order to very quickly send money back to your family living in a 3rd world country, for example, is awesome. the idea of an entire population going around their corrupt or defunct government by having a viable global currency to use instead IS cool as hell, especially if that currency were actually stable.
obviously that is NOT crypto. but even in Satoshi Nakamoto's vision and white paper back from 2007, you can see that - as a broad concept, libertarian in the true sense and not far-right sense - it was supposed to just be a decentralized, "free" P2P monetary system.
i wish people would talk about this more because even if the idea itself wouldn't work, talking about the problems and solutions created and solved by such a thing is important.
Maybe bitcoin is on the way towards less volatility in the long run. Lets see what the future brings ;)
Bitcoin is the only real candidate for ever having a global currency that's neutral to all governments. Where else would such a solution come from? Certainly not a government entity or a corporation, and no individual can be trusted with it either.
that IS crypto, just not NFT or web3. People in Ukraine, activists in Russia, LGBT+ organizers in China, etc are all using crypto to move money around because they're locked out from SEPA or other international agreement. Crypto IS useful. All the scams around it aren't, of course.
It just shows the true nature of people. They call out the big banks and companies, but when they have a chance they do the same.
It wasn't invented by Satoshi. It was a DOD project just like Facebook was LifeLog rebranded. A one world traceable trackable currency that they can blacklist if you don't follow.
Bro, I literally got an ad that was like one of those AI ads about someone talking about Ethereum and bitcoin on a video that’s talking about bitcoin is a scam that’s the funniest thing that has ever happened
“THOSE WHO SAVE IN FIAT WE CALL THEM POOR”
They love the dirty taste of inflation and getting all slobbery on the governments dick since they control the money printer
You dont have to save in fiat. There are many assets that protect from inflation 😂 crypto is the most volatile of them
@@Dondrepad231 You should be able to save your economic energy in money. Thats the whole point of bitcoin. crypto is 99,9% useless scam. Only invest in bitcoin what you dont wanna lose
@@Dondrepad231 Exactly. Fiat currency is designed to be used in the short term and bonds are designed to be used in the medium time frame.
You should absolutely save in equity (real estate, private equity or public stocks).
fiat currency is not backed by nothing but backed by real investments.
Cryptocurrencies are just a greater fools game.
@@Dondrepad231 Bitcoin is THE highest performing inflation-proof asset in existence today. Volatility is just a symptom of the insane performance, you can't really have one without the other.
THE GREATER FOOL THEORY:
The idea that it is possible to make money by buying overvalued securities because there will always be a greater fool, who is willinng to purchase these securities at an even higher price.
Anyone else still absolutely confused by all this crypto stuff? LOL
You're a great storyteller James, love the suspense !
I’m a web3 developer, but Senior developers at my company don’t know what it is and are skeptical. It is indeed confusing, but not all evil like this video portrays. At the end of the day DYOR(Do your own research) and develop your own understanding of the industry.
@@falco830 they are either evil or naive. Majority falls in the latter category.
@@rookiej5587 maybe naive, but so are small businesses…
Imagine if keeping your car on idle 24/7 solved Sudokus you could trade for heroin
Bitcoin is different from all these other scam coins, don't get them confused.
" The trouble with loyalty to a cause...is that the cause will always betray you "
Not to mention loyalty to a person...
I believe part of the reason why crypto initially got the traction it did was because trust in governments has been declining with them going to ever more draconian lengths to control the population, with no realistic way to change the status quo when they do something wrong.
That was from transformers lol well that's where I heard it
- Lockdown, Transformers 4
Amazing
The funny thing is. People cash out crypto for more cash profit because they believe more in cash.
More than funny I would call it cynical...
No. They cash out because they want to buy MORE Bitcoin after the next crash.
Because govs force fiat scam currencies as basic denominators.
I will never sell my Bitcoins.
They sell some bitcoin to help pay the bills
It recently crossed $106K/coin...
I remember the days when Pet Rocks were sold in stores around the country. NFT's are the same.
Least that technically wasn't a scam.. just a stupid novelty stocking stuffer.
Hey now, at least pet rocks are real.
What’s funny is at least the pet rocks are physical and actually exist in the real world
you cant represent a deed to a property digitally and immutably on a rock. you dont understand the tech.
@@donkeygobbles6657you can't do it with cryptocurrency either. Thats easily been shown.
