Yet another oxymoron.

There's nothing "tech" about crapto. It's a means without an end. Ultimately, it's a resurrection of the so-called carry trade or in biblical terms, money changers. They've missed it since the EU was formed.

It's weakness is displayed in grand terms on every financial page where it's value is stated in Dollars. Why not just have Dollars? Because, you have to fricking work for Dollars.

The biggest fight on crapto is yet to come. There can be only one and it won't be the one most people have.

Stablecoin? It's yet another in a long line of empty buzzwords thrown around in boardrooms by people who are more interested in using buzzwords than whatever it is that company actually produces.

Do the phone lines close in 10 minutes????

Should we WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

Are SUPPLIES GOING FAST !?!?!

I have an Ivy league PhD (chemistry) and still have no idea what it actually is. Talk about voodoo economics!

It's only a matter of time.

It seems like purely a financial decision. I bailed out on a smaller investment many years ago that now would be worth 100’s of thousands of dollars. It was a serious mistake. I know that all of these small coins are just fads, but I don’t see Bitcoin going away. By choosing to make it political, some people are just missing out on huge investment gains. You can lose money of course, but you can in other areas as well.

The preferred currency of terrorism, organized crime, and financing dictatorships.

Yes, I know that's changing but I feel like it's similar to the local gang boss financing a rec center.

this* was bullshit.

*All stablecoin issuers must possess the technical capability to seize, freeze, or burn payment stablecoins when legally required and must comply with lawful orders to do so.

It basically makes the government capable of disappearing your assets if it deems you a criminal. No chance THAT will be abused! Right?

And Trump’s embrace automatically sours it for many others on the left. Not to mention, his coin is pretty much a meme (aka shit) coin, which is basically used as a pump and dump.

The biggest hurdle for most progressives in embracing crypto is likely the energy usage for mining btc. You can’t get around it.

I own an ETF with some Eth and btc exposure as a very limited part of my portfolio. I’m open to more volatility than most here. I really doubt those two are going away anytime soon. There are some other interesting projects going on, such as XRP and a few others. But it’s a minefield and a playground for kooky libertarians for the most part.

Whatevercoins for my groceries, the power company accepts Whatevercoins for my electricity, and the water department accepts Whatevercoins for my water, I'll give them another look. Until then, they're just a repository for discretionary cash, which may go up or may go down in value, like my stock holdings (which my landlord won't accept for the rent, either).
