See? This is the future that replaces fiat, a currency you either have to hide like a crate of gold buried in your yard, or trust to some 20 yr old Jewboy and his goblin girlfriend hiding on an island.

How can a system like that NOT be the future of finance?

There seems to be more crypto scams than conventional currency scams relative to their popularity. Crypto seems to be a technological wild west where nobody knows what they're doing and it's way easier to get swindled. There are more sound security measures people can use to protect their conventional currency assets than their crypto/blockchain/NFT assets. At the very least, you generally have more recourse if someone steals your real money than if someone steals your crypto.

Unless you live in a third world country, the rate at which inflation eats your savings is generally far less than the rate at which you can replenish it. Also bear in mind that inflation makes it easier to pay off debts over time, so your savings loss may be offset to some degree by the value of your debt decreasing.

please stop defending a system that devalues silently the savings of normal citizens, favors wealthy people that are granted large loans to gain even more wealth, while having their debt lowered over time, while having their assets gaining value, also while benefiting from the cantillon effect in the process, this may be dangerous for you if IPs are tracked and stored and the citizens decide one day that they want to track down everyone who defended such system

I'm just saying that inflation (generally) isn't as bad as the shit that goes on regularly in the crypto space. Crypto's volatility alone makes it a less trustworthy reserve of wealth than conventional currency.

inflation in the real economy is certainly a large order of magnitude worse, bitcoin may or may not solve this issue long term
but I'm saying that for you, because inflation is responsable for the revolution that I hope will not happen, but if it happens I totally disengage myself from this (I won't take part in anything, would just watch)

>inflation in the real economy is certainly a large order of magnitude worse
This is kind of true, but the devil lies in the details. Firstly, inflation by itself is not necessarily bad. If wages increase proportionally, price increases will, for the mot part, cancel out. Secondly, we also need to to consider where exactly the inflation is occurring. If game console prices increase by 200% in 5 years, big deal. People will just have to settle for older consoles or not get one at all. But if rent increases by 200% in 5 years, then people are really going to struggle. Thirdly, we need to consider relative scales. Cryptocurrencies comprise a much smaller part of the economy than conventional currencies do, so, in general, they are going to have a much smaller impact on the economy regardless of what they do. We have to evaluate their impacts relative to how widely used they are. Cryptocurrency in general doesn't seem to add much value to the economy, and mostly just functions as a speculative asset. It does nothing at best, and adds more volatility to the economy at worst.

it still devalues savings silently. bitcoin grows. see again >>54296909

>bitcoin grows
Sometimes it does, sometimes it goes way down. Early adopters win money, later adopters lose money. You can't expect the value to keep going up forever, as eventually you'll run out of new investors to put more money into the system. Ultimately, bitcoin and other currencies are simply too volatile to prove a reliable source of wealth.

you have no idea what you're talking about. bitcoin grows based on its 4 years halving cycle, trending up, always. this is possible because it has the property of money and fixed supply, which is actually impossible to change and requires an astronomical amount of electricity to stop. and also because the money it's compared against have infinite supply. the dollar will always be inflationary. the aim is to replace and devalue the dollar and every other currencies. volatility lowers over time, also lowers as volume grows. bitcoin grows.
