AS someone who has seen his friends for years toute crypto, but never bitten.. i did this year. (those friends have passive incomes in the 10k's per month now in crypto that can be readily exchanged for dollars)
Parallel economies exist. In the mainstream economy, your mainstream interests have every aspect of the market cornered. You only get in once they have taken all the worthwhile positions.
In the crypto economy, and yes, its a fully fledged economy and social network in 1, u can get in on the ground level and ride that hype up. You dont have to know that guy at that investment firm with that connection to that hot deal.
DeFi and the blockchain are allowing you to startup international companies in the blink of eye. Just the way traditional companies outsourced to the 3rd world, then import these goods and sell to a premium in local markets - as a crypto enterprenour u can now employ these same "call centre staff" (who were layed off in covid) to "play games for you" and you are able to pay them a HIGHER RATE then Apple or insert any any "tradtional stock" "traditional company". in phillipines for instance, you can get loans against SLP, u never need fiat. You can pay for goods at corners stores with SLP. micro-transactions in e-sports is legit and it will only get bigger.
People forget that captialists have BUILT a system and REINFORCED that system to ensure THE STATUS QUO. Crypto is about giving those people the FINGER. Those people kicked and screamed, but now they are ON BOARD. Bloomberg isnt as effective at causing a dip then say Elon though. Tether, like the real-estate markets all over the world, couldnt handle a big sell off. Covid showed that.
Sorry Bloomberg, your consoles days of cornering the market as gone! Your traders now need to keep there ear to the crypto ground, cause the crypto cultists are using there social networks to come for YOU. They can organise millions of bids in minutes. Your incumbents are not the only people who can pump and dump on retail investors. Tether is simply using tactics established by centralised finance. They poineered the China hustle years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Hustle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Hustle
Lets stop pretending that the traditional stock market is built on fair and sound princples. Lets stop pretending that bankers get held to the same accountability as the ordaniary folks. These tradtionalists are incumberant in every aspect of the mainstream socio-poltical life. Like, the whole stock section of the nightly news is just as a way placate the general public and further there position and ideaology. One that preys on moms and pops and superannuation schemes.
