As lockdowns end people will want to exchange coin for goods and services. The same goes for any other currency & standards such as gold ect. They will all drop to their demand floor. As crypto has no peg other than the crypto tech it is based on then of course the crash will be harder. Those with massive reserves of bit coin should consider obtaining a reserve to peg their currency but then that would defeat their original objective of decentralised currency 🙂 Musk has provided a soft peg with tesla investment & soft offers for future direct exchange of service. If Musk can big up a currency price by 20% from a single tweet think what he can do if he decides to inverse his language. How decentralised is a currency when a single man can set price via tweeting? Ecconmics is hard, someone should open a school or five. As to eve as the lockdowns end and summer weather comes in peeps will let subs lapse, plex price will increasce & its dollar worth crash. ---

> [@0Lona\_0ltor](#): > > What cyrpto allows for visa like exchanges of very high cash ammounts? VISA is horrible, it has like months to settle a payment. No blockchain scales, they all have the same fundamental problems. Bitcoin solves this with the Lightning Network and it is by far the most advanced actual scaling solution. It has instant settlement and unlimited almost fee less transactions, no other crypto can do that. It also has smart contracts that actually scale, unlike those that cram everything directly into a public blockchain. ---

It probably already has more traffic than all those better-than-Bitcoin shitcoins together, which makes it super easy for them to claim they “scale” if they don’t actually have the traffic that cause the issues Bitcoin and Ethereum would deal with if they tried to “scale” on the blockchain. I have some ADA and DOT as well, just as a hedge, those are the most promising. Other than that, good luck losing money. ---

The problem is you do not see the myriad of ways the governments can ruin you worse than a brain injury. Ask someone in Burma right now if they’d rather try their luck with a brain injury or continue living under a dictatorship who actually thought at one point that it was a good idea to remove and confiscate all the bills in circulation except the 2 who had “lucky” numbers on them (and it is a ■■■■■■■ true story). On this point the Americans are right, it is way better to have maniacs around with rifles and automatic weapons, and to risk dying without an helmet than to have to suffer even one day under the rulership of that kind of people! ---
