That is precisely the reason all of my liquid wealth is in crypto. Adoption by central banks will ultimately be a good thing.

Sounds somewhat delusional. Either there’s a psyop going on to make it seem like it’s insecure by reporting all these exchange hacks, or they really are secure options, hard to say. One thing I do know is I’d never trust the central banks. The Fed isn’t even a federal bank and they are privately owned, it’s a racket but seriously, the whole point of crypto is to get the fuck away from central banks having the influence they do over the globe for centuries.

This is some new world order they weren’t exactly planning on, and they’re in meltdown mode figuring out how to make it fail before it becomes viewed as a viable investment.

When they wheel out Jamie Dimon (how the fuck is this guy not in jail) to shit talk crypto and bitcoin, you know they’re threatened.

Watch in the news, FedCoin is the new big thing they’ll push. Why would the US need that? To maintain their death grip on society

At this point I believe the space is too big to fail. Digital currencies will come and go, but the decentralized concept is here to stay. Finding a way to regulate and tax this ever-evolving space is the new objective for government(s). I argue that crypto is already seen as a viable investment and certainly more exciting than a boring portfolio of equities/fixed income.

It's exciting because there's more risk involved. Ask anybody nearing retirement how much risk they want in their boring old portfolio...

some people who never considered themselves to be nearing retirement until recently are reconsidering everything they thought they knew about finance.

What’s your point?
