The amount of ignorance regarding crypto is too damn high. I agree that NFT's are stupid, always felt that way, but when people just say a "all crypto is a scam" really don't understand what they are saying. There's a plenty of legit crypto products out there, but yes, the vast majority are just garbage. Invest in the blue chips, the REAL industry of crypto, not memes or things no ones ever heard of before. (Bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum, etc..)
Solana and Ethereum are both centralized scams that have been going down vs Bitcoin for the last year, despite the bull market.
Scams with ETFs regulated by the government, audited by the government through MANY lawsuits, multiple bills being proposed to regulate the indusy.... so scammy right? Legit products. Both of them. Centralization isn't a make or break for any crypto really, they don't have to be decentralized to be a valid product.
And price doesn't matter at all, not sure why you even mention it. It bears nothing on the conversation at all.
lol yes absolutely they are. Yes the government is allowing legal scams. Yes scammers win lawsuits. Yes congress supports scams. A government stamp doesn't make trusting some corporate CEO a good idea; it just means they paid the bribes.
"Blue chips" typically perform well, especially relative to their risk. You've got all the risks of Bitcoin, plus trust in a central party that needs government permission.
