As long as Kim needs goods, crypto will exist...
Most existing cryptocurrencies have no inherent value, they might make sense as a currency, but having a cell in a distributed spreadsheet assigned shouldn't be considered a growth investment and it's absurd how many treated it that way. The only way that sort of thing works is with an endless supply of greater fools, and evidently they ran out.
I am just really happy that storage-based crypto died. It made getting hard drives, and used-servers with drive-bays pretty expensive....
Although, https://cryptoslate.com/cryptos/storage/ I guess many more rose to take its place. :-/
I think the real problem with crypto, everyone and their mother has decided to make another stupid cryptos.... and most of them, are completely stupid. The only person profiting, is the person who created it and minted themselves a bunch of coins to hold onto until the value went up.
Don't get me wrong, I think crypto has its place. But, buying pizza at pizza hut isn't it.
If you can't buy pizza at pizza hut with it, it's pretty useless as a currency. Which doesn't surprise me, as it doesn't solve any problems with electronic transactions better than traditional existing tools except if you're undertaking illegal purchases.
Most people are shifting towards the AI trend instead. Read a post which somewhat describes it well, people integrate the new trends into their projects to get more investor money. Nothing looks better to investors other than 'We have AI Blockchain nano technology behind our service'.
Last year, 'we have blockchain' earned lots of money. Now it's 'we have AI'. In both cases, the technology probably isn't needed, it is there just to be there.

It's not dead, but the SEC sure has been really helping the consumers basically tanking the market about everytime they help....
I hope the hype is dead. What are people buying drugs on the deep net with these days?
