It depends greatly on how it’s stored. Most people just keep it in an exchange, which are robbed fairly often. Which wouldn’t be a problem with real cash as there are laws in place to protect you. With crypto you have no recourse.

The TV and stereo aren’t amazing for that time. I had better in my teens and twenties just from my restaurant jobs.
I had that TV back in the day. It was an amazing TV for it’s time.
It’s accepted almost no where. And the list of issues go on. Crypto is easily stolen, very difficult to secure. Difficult to use for most people. Proof of work crypto is still in the majority and wastes absurd amounts of energy, etc. But the biggest issue is that it doesn’t solve any problems that were not solved long ago unless you are conducting criminal activity (which I do have to acknowledge as it’s one stand out use case).
A banknote is accepted as a means of exchange, ie a currency in a way that bitcoin and other crypto coins are not and cannot ever be due to the fees and delays in the system, not to mention the absurd volatility or lack of liquidity in the smaller coins.
Crypto is stupid for entirely different reasons that I’ve enumerated in other threads in this post. I’m just observing a correlation I’ve noticed here which directly runs counter to another statement.
I don’t know any crypto bros who aren’t also MAGA/libertarian/fascist
I think it’s because, at least in the case of bitcoin, it has no practical real world use other than hoarding like beanie babies, and therefore no real value. As a currency it’s entirely useless.
I have a bit more sympathy for ETH, maybe someday DeFi will produce something truly useful enough to justify the money in crypto, but it hasn’t so far.
Man I just love this song more and more every time I hear it. Thanks for sharing!
Yes that’s true.
And how did the bank decide I was privileged? I don’t keep much money in the account, I’ve overdrawn it many times, I have no record of employment in the US for decades.
He’s hoping the farm work will make you straight again.
Well okay you’re not wrong, there is always some sucker out there.

Yeah looks like there’s going to be some SNL joke at the end.
I left the USA 25 years ago and still keep a bank account at my parents’ address. Not yet debanked.
Well they can identify you are the same person but not your identity… So it’s like a disenbodied fingerprint.
I suppose they could potentially make some database and train an AI on it someday to match to actual identities, but usefulness would be pretty limited at only 95% accuracy. That’s a false reading 1/20 times, so I suspect it would fail bigly to accurately recognize people from large data sets.
I’m not gonna lie, it do feel this way sometime
It looks like destructive environments are back and the nod to the BF4 theme at 2:00 is interesting. Let’s hope that DICE can pull their head out of their ass for this one.
This is 2 week deadline #4 or #5 for Russia to end the war now? I’m losing track.
