And here I am having not a single scooby why crypto money has any worth what so ever.
But then again, maybe I don't know why my money in the bank is worth anything either! :P
Money in the bank has value because it's guaranteed by a government that is supported by a country's worth of industries and people creating value through many and varied efforts, as well as trade and investment with other countries. The government guarantees this by ensuring it's always accepted at face value, and protects this value though various economic, political, and even military schemes (IE the presence of a functional army is a stabilising economic factor).

Money in cryptocurrencies has 'value' because people keep tossing actual usable cash in the barrel. They keep tossing it in hoping that it encourages more cash to be tossed in, because they want the barrel to be more full when they reach in and grab their handful back out, meaning they get more money. It's backed by magic numbers and guaranteed by promises from random exchanges that it's totally still worth real cash, the value is protected by hoping you're not the last person to throw money in the barrel.

Isn't this a pyramid scheme?

It's speculative investment on an asset that only has value as a speculative investment.
A pyramid would imply that those at the bottom of the pyramid get nothing. Anyone who puts into crypto can still technically get out of out with most of what they put in (less fees, etc), it's just that the free money to the moon infinite growth train will eventually dwindle and die out and everyone will have to scramble to get as much out as they can before the barrel runs dry.

Crypto has become way more about pump-and-dump than a structure closer to a Ponzi.

Basically. Anyway that can't see that at this point just doesn't want to see it. Crypto has no future especially considering all the world leaders are talking about climate crack downs. You really think with all they are doing they plan to allow something like coin mining that burns so much electricity? No they are just going to try to push their own central bank digital currencies, and make crypto illegal. If you don't cash out before that happens you get burned.

Yes, I watch all those "leaders" fly in with all their private jets every year to have their big party / get together with a "climate change" theme.

They are the ones that probably have the most money in crypto.. if they didn't, it would already be banned a very long time ago.

Sure but not something useless like SHIB. Endorse a coin with real value like bitcoin, ETH or SOL

I don't get that logic.

First, this assumes that they're itching to ban things, when they already have their hands full with other matters.

Furthermore, if there's something they don't like, it's easier to just not lift a finger and hope that it goes away than to make a big deal of it by banning it.

Second, if they have the power to ban things, then they already have their resources stored/invested/etc. in more conventional assets, and would have no need for crypto. Sure, they could invest in crypto, but that would just be exposing themselves to far more risk unnecessarily.

And finally, the basic schtick of cryptocurrency is to go outside of monetary systems that are associated with financial backing in the form of established governments and legal systems.

Because they're all realizing hardly anyone is going to accept their *insert stupid name* crypto.

Let's keep it as it was always. Cash and real money.
WhiteKnight 28 listopada 2021 o 19:01 
No they aren't going and won't accept Shiba Inu, Beagle, Labrador, Cocker Spaniel, Akita, Husky, Rottweiler, Orca, Dolphin, Crocodile and whatever crypto nonsense that exist out there.

This, Shib is a loser coin that was hyped by some youtubers and twitter personalities and dumb people like OP ended up HODLing bags!

That said, I hope their policy on NFT changes one day. TF2 items are pretty much NTF except they are not based on any blockchain and thus were prone to duping for a time.

Are you lost in the sauce? An NFT doesn't magically become unable to be copied. There's a reason the right click meme exists.

How are TF2 items non-fungible tokens?

And, AAR, crypto is wholly manipulated. It’s not only the most-blatant variants.
