    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?

      None of that is “by design” its just the result of an unstable system. Crypto sucks for a long list of different reasons.

          The instability?

          You’re giving it too much credit, especially the altcoins that didn’t look beyond “existing”. I know, I made one like 7 years ago or so and I ain’t proud of it.

          The instability of the worth of these crypto coins is just inherent to the instability of it, and actually not that different from currency fluctuations. You don’t think the entire world works with US dollars, no?
