Prove me wrong. Crypto is dead, from countless scandals (one just added to FBI Top 10), to platforms collapsing/stealing coins, top cryptohedge funds liquidizing, mass layoffs - one of the original use cases is that coins could stabilize us in these types of economic environments. People will continue to trade, but actual adoption of people using coins for purchasing power (or even other utilities) just won’t happen.

As useful as electric cars before charging infrastructure was built.

Use case hasn’t gone anywhere but people were lying to themselves about intrinsic value. Just a massive ‘greater fool’ scheme as it exists today.

likefunnysmart

just curious, how did we come to conclusion that gold has intrinsic value? Its because as humans we all agreed that its valuable, isn't it?

The true value lies in the blockchain and NFTs proving legitimacy such as: ledgers that cannot be tampered with for accounting purposes, luxury brands minting accompanying NFTs in official wallets to prove authenticity of goods sold, digital items in video games being safely traded, even ownership of digital video games being traded, really anything that could benefit from non-repudiation outside of the limited scope of PKI ie adopted by the general public. These are all different, billion dollar industries being disrupted. The current arms race is creating a working proof of concept of the blockchain and the focus of investors and seed money has always been on the blockchain, including big4. Big4 never mentions crypto, it’s always been about blockchain.

Look at what both immutableX and loopring are working on. They’ve partnered with GameStop to make the blockchain accessible to the general public without the gas fees. The NFT art and cryptocurrencies are just an amusing and silly byproduct of the invaluable oil rigs that is blockchain.

Crypto’s main use case has been, and always will be, tax evasion and capital flight from autocratic countries.

The concept of crypto/blockchain isn’t dead. The bubble is popping, much like the dot com or tulip bubble. There are still tulips and internet companies, but the irrational exuberance around the investment aspect of these is being wrung out of the system - and so it the paper wealth of the hodlers.

Don’t tell El Salvador this

This is what capitulation looks like ;)

Crypto was always dead. It was just able to fool enough people for a decade.

Think dot com bubble burst. We’re literally seeing this before our eyes. Bitcoin imo will be AOL but a google will (and probably already is) creating the future of crypto. The key is finding a way to actually apply it with ease across our world. It will take time
