Is Crypto Finally Dead? (beehaw.org)

Yes, I know that it still exist, and yes, decentralized currency which utilizes distributed, cryptographic validation is not actually a strictly bad idea, but...

Is the speculative investment scam, which crypto substantially represented, finally dead? Can we go back to buying gold bars and Pokemon cards?

I feel like it is, but I'm having a hard time putting my finger on why it lost its sheen. Maybe crypto scammers moved on to selling LLM "prompts?" Maybe the rug just got pulled enough times that everyone lost trust.

No. Bitcoin is the future of money. It really is the best form of money humanity has invented so far. People just need to stop trading shit coins.

Yep, first is always best, like my CRT TV.

Ethereum is pretty cool too. I'm not a Bitcoin maximalist. That's pretty much it though. the rest are shitcoins. Edit: Monero is the other good coin.
