I do not own any crypto, NFTs, etc.
To me, the only reasonable explanation for the success of Bitcoin is the story behind it. A mathemetical, virtual thing, created by some mysterious guy, challenging the powers to be, 'mined' by underground groups all over the world. That is just so cool ;-)
I never saw the meme culture coming and still am not sure if it is temporarely or something that will stay. It gives value to things that have (had) no clear value previously. Their only value comes from stories, discussions around it, like GameStop on r/wallstreetbets and NFTs. Most people do not understand and do not want to understand. They just want to be part of something cool and at the same time become rich ;-)
- mattwilsonn888 5y agoIt should be of interest to fence sitters that skeptics exactly like yourself often take pride in their lack of understanding and use that to express how obvious it is that the whole thing is a sham. What really spurred me to go all in a year ago was reading the best and brightest from HackerNews absolutely tearing into 'crypto' and seeing clearly that they didn't know what they were talking about. Made good profits, and took an optimistic approach to learning about real problems crypto has, meaning I had a good idea of what new projects were going in the right direction. You're only contribution to the list of issues is that "it feels cool," and "some people bought it without fully understanding it," which I fail to see your authority in saying as you have only just done the inverse: gathered a superficial understanding and not bought. So far it seems you're astrology has picked the wrong horse.
- selestify 5y agoThat's a good point. Why is it you think that people on this site are so irrationally offended by crypto?
