It's easy to think that crypto is over. The NFT bubble is so deflated. We've seen big companies like FTX bomb the hell out. I mean, the signs are obvious now, aren't they? Crypto was, conclusively, proven to be the scam everyone said it would be and we don't need any more proof, right?
And then we hear Trump administration is really into this crypto nonsense.
Somehow.
Guess they didn't get the memo.
Brace yourself for 4 years of spectacular, glorious fail.
And if someone says stuff like "oh, Trump just got filthy rich off of the meme coin he launched yesterday", let's wait and see how the coin does at the end of his administration.
Bitcoin is sitting at 105,000 each. Businesses have bought in, banks have bought in. A whole country buys them like clockwork for their citizens future.
Its a damn ponzi scheme where the last to hold the bag is the loser. Yet it is so big now, so entrenched, I dare say it may be too big (to be allowed) to fail.
Insane. And the worst part is, nobody actually uses them. Not in any significant way. It's just let's get rich!
Or in 6 months
