Wake the fuck up and stop being delusional.

You bough digital tokens that nobody actually uses for anything because you heard they will make you rich. You believed this because someone advertised their previous gains and hyped you up by posting pictures of lambos and rented jets.

Now you're hoping to get the same type of returns by advertising your purchased tokens to other people, claiming the same type of bubble action as being imminent. This is textbook Greater Fool Theory, its nothing more than a pyramid bidding structure. This can work ONLY as long as the pyramid scheme isn't widely known, and maintains the allure of being "the next big thing"..

Once the ponzi-like becomes common knowledge, nobody wants to participate anymore in another self-perpetuating ponzi where the early adopters sell at premium to new incomers.

Crypto is mainstream knowledge now. Your average person has heard of it, they tried Bitcoin and saw it absolutely crumble to uselessness in December, and the hype has long gone as people saw the December investors get absolutely rekt.

This was the final bubble. There will be no institutions investing in your shitty digital tokens, institutions aren't retarded.

You're not going to find some fool who is going to give you $50K for your Bitcoin. You're the last fool standing now that the music has stopped, and you have no chair to sit on.

it is a ponzi scheme. You have to understand that the “demand” is driven by people thinking that the “demand” will continue to rise and so the price will keep rising too and they can resell it once demand is higher. If that price drops, when normally lower price = more demand, instead you’re looking at a situation where the lower price is actually killing demand, because no longer do people think high demand will enable them to resell it at a higher price, and the death of the demand is in turn killing the price.

Like this shit is just begging to collapse

When it comes down to it, deflation can be good or bad depending on the circumstances. People always need to eat, useful goods always need to be made to keep people alive. Economic activity to satisfy those needs happens regardless of prices. All kinds of industries have 'cash flow' problems in various states of inflation or deflation, but it's important to think about what kind of creativity is incentivized in either environment. eg. Are the consequences of consumerism worth the numbers which tell everyone the economy is growing?

No you fucking retard, not everything you sell higher at a later date is a fucking ponzi. Are you that fucking retarded?

Some things are assets with inherent value which can raise based on some underlying fundamental, like cash flow for stocks. Crypto on the other hand is not, its at best a speculative asset whose value depends on more retarded NEETS like you without even an elementary knowledge of finance thinking its their get rich quick scheme.

While you're partially right, you're missing a big part of the picture.

Yes eventually price needs to have a backing in supply and demand, and business success, the speculation always happens well before the tech gets to that point.

By your logic the dotcom bubble was a complete ponzi, but look 20 years later and now we have some of the most successful and valuable stocks that have ever existed that have come out of that "ponzi."

If you don't see why SOME cryptos are going to be incredibly useful and disruptive once they start getting more adoption, it just means you don't understand blockchain or how much business is built on being a trusted middleman (a lot of current businesses are rent seekers based on being the middleman). Most cryptos are not going to make it but the ones that do will make A LOT of money.

>No. You do not want to encourage/reward people for just hoarding money. You want to incentivize people to spend or else all industry suddenly grinds to a screeching halt
People are already incentivized to spend by having wants and needs to fulfill.

There's no need to incentivize beyond that- you're just causing society to spend resources on things it doesn't truly value. It's the equivalent of paying people to dig useless holes and fill them back in, but it has the illusion of true productivity for a while. Eventually, people realize that resources have been accumulating somewhere as useless as hole-digging and a lot of people get into trouble. See the burst of the dotcom bubble, the burst of the housing bubble.

If people could sit on their money and only invest it into things truly beneficial to society, we wouldn't have had so much misallocation of resources to tech companies and housing construction.

>Inflation out of control is terrible, but saying that deflation is the answer is a sign that you don’t actually understand what you are trying to solve.
Wealth is just stuff.

People don't have less wealth just because a lower circulating supply (e.g., due to whales hoarding) of dollars causes prices measured in dollars to be lower.

And if dollars were infinitley divisible, deflation would cease entirely to have any negative effect, as people can just give less and less.

This.

The only investing that happens in an economy where money is truly valuable is in actual productivity boosting capital improvements, which creates actual wealth and improves everyone's standard of living. The only things that people spend money on outside of necessities are things that make the pie bigger, or true luxury spending (unlike now where the money is so worthless long term that broke people buy luxuries even).

We would end up with a much less wasteful society with a much higher standard of living.

>Crypto is not your way out

crypto WAS your way out, if you were early. today you're nearly a decade late to the game. crypto has made it's billionaires, it's multi-millionaires, and they own bitcoin, and they own ethereum. random altcoins stand no chance long term because the financial incentives to fix and support btc/eth outmatch anything some other project can do.

the huge speculative bubble that happened allowed a few late adopters their chance, but now the world has seen a failure 99% of these alts are, they're not going to fall for the same trick again, there won't be anybody willing to hold when things even start to look bad, because they've seen it all before. the wealth and power will continue to centralize with those that got in early, as they continue to have the means and motive to push btc/eth forward while treating other alts as mere speculative toys with tech ripe for stealing and putting into the two major platforms, which becomes trivial when layered networks become the primary way of interacting with both.

80% of the major crypto projects aren't even past the start up phase.

With major companies like Walmart , IBM, Microsoft coming in this is just the beginning. It takes awhile for mega corporations to integrate new technology into their existing organization.

Furthermore it takes a much longer time for "easy to use vehicles" to be made for the average normie.

A lot of crypto projects are working behind the scenes creating levers and engines for the next rocket to the moon. What dumbfuck thinks their going to post backdoor deals online in such a hyper aware space.

More likely than not we will have another bull run. Since more people are aware of Bitcoin, even more will fomo as the price blasts through 20k...most of you will make it...

None of they are going to buy your shitcoins. If they use blockchain in some minor capacity, it will be of propriatory design.

Do you seriously believe WalMart of any other corporation is run by people retarded enough to tie their operational performance on some meme coin you bought on Binance only to be cashed out by some autistic teenager NEET?

You're a fucking retard beyong comprehension, hoping that worthless internet currency that nobody uses is going to get you out of having to work or invest in real assets whose value grows at reasonable rates corresponding to real underlying utility growth.

There is nothing exceptional or world changing about crypto, you have no idea what crypto even is if you beleve "never in history ever been such an event like crypto". Its just a bunch of simple protocols that utilize the well-treaded waters of cryptographic encryption to arrive at a trustless transaction verification. There is a fucking reason nobody uses this shit, and nobody cares about crypto except what the fiat price is at the moment and how they can jump on the next hype wave, getting more fiat from retards who get hyped about things they don't understand.
