Ah. So this thread is about the effects cannabis use on forum posting. Got it. 😉

Cryptocurrency is a commodity just like anything else. It has value because people agree it has value. The “realness” of it doesn’t enter into it, currency by its very nature is fundamentally imaginary. Crypto just happens to be the tulip bulbs of the month, that’s why you’ve even heard about it. I can’t say if it’s over-valued _yet_ but it will bubble at some point, because that’s how these things work, and people are always the same. The real estate bubble didn’t affect EVE, neither will this, and that’s why I don’t understand why this thread even exists.
