Yes, I know that it still exist, and yes, decentralized currency which utilizes distributed, cryptographic validation is not actually a strictly bad idea, but…

Is the speculative investment scam, which crypto substantially represented, finally dead? Can we go back to buying gold bars and Pokemon cards?

I feel like it is, but I’m having a hard time putting my finger on why it lost its sheen. Maybe crypto scammers moved on to selling LLM “prompts?” Maybe the rug just got pulled enough times that everyone lost trust.

    No one is claiming to be a mastermind except you declaring a thing you don’t like as bad because of vague reasons.

      I am very much against scams, yes. They target vunerable people. How is that a bad thing?

        Strawman.

        If scams were only possible with crypto, that would be a tenable position.
