Was thinking holding XRP for all these years was worthless, was considering trading it for Doge, looking at the last 2 weeks run, the wait was worth it :P

I regret missing the Crypto boat but the damn thing seems illogical to me.

Someone came up with a token with limited supply and suddenly people agreed to use it as tender. But it doesn't matter because the value of the token is still being assessed in terms of fiat.

Take Tesla for example, it changes the car prices in BTC acc. to ongoing conversion rate. In case you buy a car via BTC but end up returning it, they will only pay you back in BTC if its value relative to USD has fallen since the time you bought it. If BTC went up, then you will be refunded in USD.

So it all comes back to fiat. All these hedge funds and banks investing in crypto will be the first ones to book profit and call a shift back towards fiat.

BTC or any other crypto will only be legible to me when assets are priced in them and the price remains static.

 

Although, in its current form, nice way to make money.

If we take away fiat conversions, cryptos suddenly become worthless. And with little to no regulatory oversight, an exchange can close overnight, and all your funds gone.

It is illogical. I was part of this madness for about 6 months and its all fueled by hopes and dreams. 

Some tech guru comes up with some random a*s whitepaper with funky words. Half the people don't understand it but decide to invest anyways and it rises in value.

Fact of the matter is, its been a decade since crypto currency is around and there has been no meaningful application till now. Even if there is, it is of the underlying tech and the specific currencies are just useless. 

It's f**king stupid that a supposed currency derives its value purely from speculation. 

It's a worthless endeavour. Destroying the planet to create worthless bits of data. 

I am sure you haven't heard of Nano. It's a feeless and instant transfer crypto and can't be mined. Supply is limited and team behind it has clearly told that we are not here to make you rich but here to use Nano as a part of Crypto world. They own very very low amount of total Nano supply. and this is how fast a transaction is. All currencies are here to let you gamble. (So is Nano), but one should definitely check it out for the tech.

If you keepy our crypto on exchanges , it's bound to happen. Get a cold/hot wallet and all you need is keep the phrase saved on a piece of paper or memorise it. Even trustworthy exchanges who don;t run away sometimes lock funds stating "tech issues" and keep funds locked to manipulate prices. 
When you buy a crypto . suppose 1 BTC, It doesnt give you 1 BTC, It gives you the right to withdraw 1 BTC from them anytime you want. 90% of the people don't.

Have got your investment back?
Easily. I spent 25k for RTX 3070 after selling my previous card. Since I already had a gaming PC , I didn't need any other investment. 21k in 2 months is what I have received. Tomorrow I'll be paid around 70-75USD since payout is every 14 days.

GPU prices are high af because everyone wants to mine. If you can get hold of a GPU and most importantly, at a very good price. only then consider it. The way I do to mine only requires a good GPU and a good PSU . Try to get a GPU at vfm price so that you can recover amount as quickly as possible. I have only been able to recover since I got RTX 3070 @ 44.5k.
