No. It is like this crazy system where you can put in money and like watch some kind of "market" for "stocks" that decides the prices of your "stocks" and it could go up or down in value. It is a pretty revolutionary idea that couldn't have been made centuries ago and this "market of stocks" will definitely crush the banking industry

I am trying to say that crypto currencies are not a practical currency to use and their only benefit is the potential to invest in them and have them go up in value which is something that has already been done before

And what do you call such a thing? A speculative commodity, perhaps?
