    Breaking news! Criminals (but not only) use crypto, and people get scammed. This happens as well with fiat, so that must surely mean fiat is a scam!

    Flawless logic, really. You people impress me with your thinking.

      if you sell something for $1 at 10am your $1 still buys $1 at 10pm.

      in crypto, it’s easily manipulated, and that’s by design. it’s a scam because the only people who have that control are the wealthy.

      If I sell 1BT worth of something at 10am, it could be worth 2BT at 10pm, but it could also be worth .1BT equally.

      the purpose of a Fiat currency is economic supremacy that is backed by the governing body and the economy that uses it.

      tell me, what governing body or economy is crypto backed by?
