BTC is breaking price records as several world governments start to officially adopt it as an ETF, and this guy says "crypto is pretty much dead".

My fucking sides. Get real, my dude. Crypto has never been more alive, and this is just the beginning. Check the price if you don't believe me.

Fucking LOL

It's used to launder money. The value is artificially blown. But it will never be used for everyday transactions.

Well that's a completely different argument.

I'm not buying BTC for everyday transactions; I'm buying so that I have a chance at not being a wage slave for the rest of my life.

(And FWIW there are several debit cards available that will let you buy anything with crypto at any place that accepts Visa. Like the Coinbase Card, for example. Or the CL Card.)

Buying crypto to not be a wage slave? You're killing me. Buy lottery tickets, chances are the same. Hell, just throw money into a trash bin, chances are also the same. You are living in capitalism. If You weren't born rich, you will die poor.

We're all living in capitalism. I hate the system just as much as you do, but until a better system comes along, it's either play by the rules, or die homeless. I chose the former.
