i also love the comparison that bitcoin is digital gold..... I mean i still rather have gold, bitcoin would not exist without gold, as one would need gold in all these computer chips..... it is a ponzi scheme, whereby there is an umlimited supply of tokens on the table for the lucky ones (usdt and so). They can print at will, so whereas we got to spend 1 usd to get something, they will just pass out an IOU note.....
besides its going to change jackshit. Why would any token have value, as it is only a facilitor, not a creator. FOr example Route 66︀ was great, until they build the interstate bypassing all these little towns. Does that mean︁ the actual interstate has value? or goes up in value ? no, its a facilitor︂ - a means to an end.
Crypto has one thing though, a big danger. It︃ enables governments around the world to create a digital currency, and everyone is applauding that,︄ until they find out that in the code it also means that the government can︅ seize your wallet anytime (think XRP) or kill it off or worse, that you need︆ to identify yourself before you can have a wallet and take part in normal life.....it︇ is indeed a wet dream for legislators....... and China will be the first as it︈ ties in with their regime....but surely wont be the last.
Decentralised finance my a*s!
