Growing tired of the trend, probably gonna start investing in crypto, but this has been bugging me for a while: What is the financial backbone for crypto? What's preventing it from going absolutely tits up tomorrow? Why is crypto even a thing and how does it fit into the economy as it does? Nothing I find is concrete and actually gives me a valid answer for this besides Wizard of Oz level number schemes.

Do you really ned to fucking ask this after yesterday? The financial backbone is that it's a Monetary system that is not controlled by wallstreet and the traditional market is manipulated and controlled as fuck

>> No.26950640

>>26949934
Yes, I do you fucking degenerate. It's a monetary system, yes, but what is it's value based on? Even if it's not controlled by wallstreet and the other standard manipulations, that doesn't mean it isn't or won't be manipulated by other players. The fact that we can affect the worth of a cryptocurrency means that, inevitably, something can manipulate it.

No one knows how it fits into the economy. That is why you can't get a straight anwer.
When you buy you are not investing, you are speculating.
That speculation has paid off time and time again, but we are no closer to understanding how it all fits.
Perhaps the fallout from memestocks going apeshit will make it clearer.
Also anon, you are conditioned to believe that the financial system is a well tuned regulated system that works as designed. It is not, it is a series of complex business deals with the express purpose of MAXIMISING wealth generation legal and illegaly. It is no less absurd than crypto.

Open your eyes anon

this attitude right here is why you're missing the trains.
You're thinking that you're too rationally, when in reality your understanding of the world as it is, sucks.

You don't understand shit. This is why you're poor.

The value behind a cryptocurrency is
>the blockchain (transparent, completely auditable transactions)
>the utility of a given use case (uniswap powers an exchange, for example)
>absolute fungibility (I can use crypto to buy anything that takes a card processor, which could also be replaced by bitcoin, and with something like BISQ convert it into cash within 1 minute to 4 days)

You don't understand crypto, you aren't a general authority, on anything. Stop pretending to yourself that you are, and you'll finally stop doing the first part of dunning kreuger and can finally move onto the second.

Stocks are also easily understandable, as are options trading on those stocks. I think stock goes up, then Buy calls or Sell puts, I think stock goes down, sell calls = buy puts.
calls are for low capital, puts are for high capital; buys are for exercising (meaning make the thing happen), sells are for making money up front (for risk). Calls make money when in the money, puts make money when out the money. Same shit all around, different use cases. Very fucking simple, monkey level simple. My 10 year old brother made your salary for lunch simple (no shit he made a great call with Silver and I made 60 grand, so probably 2OP salaries)

YOU, motherfucker. YOU make this hard on you. Not the market, or the "stupid degenerates," YOU. YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROBLEM FAGGOT WAKE THE FUCK UP.

Now fucking help yourself or kill yourself, both would make me happy since you'd stop being such a colossal fucking faggot.

yeah, it's a limit order and your position closed the way you asked it to. I don't understand why you're confused over that.

I asked a question, got a stupid answer. The only actual answers I got in this thread are
>>26952812
and your own response, but only a fraction of your response because you were so vehemently buttmad. I didn't ask shit about stocks. I said nothing about stocks. I asked about the substantiated value and stability of cryptocurrencies. But go off. I'll live my life, you'll live yours, but I sit here having a chuckle while you're apparently blowing a vessel over your trigger word.

Words are words, trains are trains, I'll admit it was my bad for not jumping the gun on the slim chance people actually pulled through, but you have to admit, sticking value to a memetrain is next to impossible because the odds of it ever leaving the station is wholly dependent on how much people believe in it. There's a reason why the market's blowing itself apart rn.

Nowhere was I butthurt, you are just searching for the 'perfect' answer which will never arrive. You are on a Mauritian macrame forum and you expect people who post frogs all day to 'convince' you of the utility/backing of crypto.

There is no financial backbone beyond a. retail speculation, b. wholesale speculation.

Not even a matter of thinking I'm the smartest guy in the room. Asking questions on the matter of risk management with the intents to get an answer.
>Look at this retard asking questions
Logistics and statistics state that nothing is a get-rich-quick scheme without exceptional risk, which most faggots on this site shill. The odds of putting in 1000 and pulling out with 10000 are inordinately low, and drop the higher they go, but to this day people are still dumping and shilling shit in a circle. Skepticism is a valid response. Realistically, very few things that pop up here and on the other side actually lift off as people shill they will, otherwise the list wouldn't be accountable on one or two hands over a fucking decade.

Buddy every industry, business, market is filled with high risk low reward. It’s your job to do the DUE DILIGENCE to inform yourself. I wouldn’t ask 4chan shit and put money on anything that’s posted here until I verified it myself. You’re a clown if you haven’t even read the whitepaper of Bitcoin because that shows how little you actually respect this market. You’d realize the only reason any of crypto exists is because of Bitcoin and that the end goal is to stack as much Bitcoin. But you want to have everything spelled out for you and not put in any effort while retorting with some pseudo-logic rational. Again, you’re NGMI
