Yep. But 'don't invest in crypto, except for this crypto currency i own' is what a lot of crypto folks say. So I'm always cautious when hearing this.
If you see crypto as an investment, you shouldn't use crypto, imho.
I really miss that brief moment around the start when it seemed thought of as an alternate currency with its own benefits and drawbacks rather than an outright investment. I’d like to think that with crypto gradually exiting the light as popular grifting vehicle of the time, we’ll gradually return to that more grounded outlook of it.
Hopefully at least, but admittedly I’m not holding my breath 🫠.
It's actually not possible to say anything else. If you think something is great of course you are going to buy it
I think when people say don't invest in crypto, but if you need a transactional digital currency you can use monero. Those are different things.
