      I know very little about cryptocurrency, but from my understanding this thread is mostly on point. Would be interested in views from experts in the areahttps://twitter.com/justinlabel/status/1433630073974894594 …

      1/ Not that I expect anyone to care too much, but since this is the only place I “journal”… After six years of occasionally observing the crypto space, I’m ready to take a position. Yep, it’s almost 100% very bad. https://twitter.com/justinlabel/status/904044598628114432 …

      As a non-expert in the field, I just cannot see any actual value in Bitcoin. Speculation is rife, but it's essentially useless as a functional currency and there's no capital backing it up. Aside from some vague use as a means of evading the law, what could it possibly provide?

          A way to bilk gamers out of more of their money while convincing them they’re pursuing a more “grown-up”/alpha pursuit such as “money management”?

          It's a Ponzi scam. As you say it is essentially tokenomics '2+2=4' is what you're buying in the hope someone more foolish will buy it off you.

          You know what is essential. Beware that most so called experts are those who have invested considerable amounts of time and or money in the product. Those who study it and come to your conclusion go on to other stuff and don't end up on CNBC.

          I have studied crypto for years and see a continuous stream of deception from the industry.

          Will be interesting seeing what constitutes an 'expert' in this field. Much like the pandemic it requires experts in different fields really because it is hard to disconnect all the things involved. Currency requires a multitude of trust and/or enforcement of payment/trade issues
