You're viewing part of a thread.
You're making an inexplicable leap of logic that still has me thinking you have no idea what you're talking about. Though I'm willing to believe you think you know what you're talking about.
So what is money ultimately? It's an abstraction that we exchange with one another as a common denominator for trades instead of me trading you 16.125 cows for a car. Therefore, with nobody to use it, a money is worthless. And so, to get people to use your money, they have to invest in it. They're by making all money a Ponzi scheme. If they already have a money, then they are investing their money for your money. And if they don't already have a money in existence, then they are investing time for your money.
Except we're not trying to convince people to buy in to money so that we can cash out. Money doesn't only increase in value by getting more people to buy in to it. I'll grant you the defined value of a dollar is nebulous, but it's not even remotely a ponzi scheme. Where crypto is, definitionally, a ponzi scheme. It sounds like you bought in to it, you probably want to cash out before you lose any more.
Meanwhile the feds continue to print money therefore devaluing it. Meanwhile you’ve been convinced that the best way to get paid is through fiat.
You haven’t the slightest clue about anything.
All currency is made up. But people who aren't fucking crazy at least trust the dollar. No one not invested in crypto already trusts it for shit
You’re talking straight out of your ass
Oh no, exactly the opposite. I want to put more in because I use it as a currency. In fact, I just bought my groceries with it today. I also pay for my insurance, cell phone bill, and several other bills every single month with it, and have been doing so for over a year now. I use it how it was meant to be used.
