Given the way inflation is going and the tendency of payment processors, banks and governments to be overly controlling, especially recently, crypto-currency is starting to look like a good idea.
Bitcoin at this point is basically a Ponzi scheme with a stupid energy consumption, ETH is about 1000 times more efficient has faster transaction time, and incorporates Smart contracts, which could well have a promising future.
It is admittedly less secure and more centralised than Bitcoin, but you cant have everything.
It's more likely to catastrophically and permanently decrease in value than normal currency or most other assests, but atleast for the next few years that seems fairly unlikely as global instability continues, it is also much more likely to drastically increase in value than other assets, which given the global circumstances and the more dubious nature of the competing Bitcoin market seems fairly likely.
As a medium term store of value it seems a reasonable bet, the long term is more uncertain, as a form of currency it is inferior in most cases to most conventional money but it has advantages that are only set to increase.
Ideologically from an anti-authoritarian standpoint it seems like a good thing to engage with.
So what am I missing?
