distributed parasitic unregulated and lawless faux paradisal casino of fictional worthless tokens being recklessly circulated towards victims after being made out of thin air.
stocks have fundamental value that is tied to a public company's performance. There is no fundamental or intrinsic value in crypto.
There is no value to wasting electricity just to solve meaningless mining puzzles all to build a distributed ponzi scheme.
Is it even remotely possible that the same thing might be happening with crypto, and that Bitcoin/Ethereum/etc value is directly tied to the fundamental/intrinsic value of being able to use the relative decentralized network, therefore reflecting their performance? If no one was using Ethereum because it's worthless it would be valued at zero... but it's not at zero despite being worthless because it's being used... so maybe it's not worthless after all, and has fundamental/intrinsic value? Mindblowing, I know...
either way, they both have value; it's just about the market.
