Pretend you meet a random person and they tell you they use cryptocurrency. What’s your opinion on that person based off that statement alone?

    As someone who used to use cryptocurrency, almost nobody uses cryptocurrency. My girlfriend works for a crypto exchange, and nobody in her company uses cryptocurrency.

    Everyone just flips coins like penny stocks. If people actually used crypto, it would crash 95% overnight because of how bad it is.

    The funniest part about crypto these days is there’s more than 21M Bitcoin due to exchanges fractional reserving, but it’s such a minority who withdraws that it goes unexposed.

      Then how did Bitcoin get popular?

        Speculation and money laundering is what made Bitcoin popular. Everyone who has used it knows that it is highly impractical as an actual payment method.
