The original promise of crypto was lost a LONG time ago.

Instead of being a true rival to FIAT, it became a thing with a toxic-as-hell commumity, fraud, and basically its nothing more than a high risk stock. The risk is NOT only "will this go up or down" but you have a high risk of being robbed, as have happened to millions of people.

Maybe there will be a better alternative in the future, but right now bitcoin is not it.

It was started as an alternative to fiat casino capitalism. It became an absurdist parody of fiat casino capitalism.

Some printed materials, perhaps most are garbage. That doesn’t mean the printing press is bad.
