> When you buy into a Crypto you're investing into the technology itself.

This argument of technology + limited supply is fallacious. If the technology is so useful the coin can just be cloned with more supply. The technology itself doesn't force me to participate in a limited supply market in order to get the benefits.

I'm not sure what you mean here. The technology does indeed force you, that's part of it. If you want to trade in its currency, you can't cheat it and make more coins for it, the network consensus will catch you and prevent you to cheat.

If the tech fails to deliver this property, nobody would trust its currency, and nobody would use it for transacting.
