If value is completely dependent on speculation how the fuck do people expect to make money?

Crypto Booms: "This is the future of money. You can't lose."
Crypto Busts: "I'm just interested in the tech it's not about money."

Those are two different communities that are interested in crypto. Some of the crypto bros used the pro-decentralized peoples logic to cope… but there are both.

I’m surprised there aren’t more of the decentralized endorsers here, amongst a community of technically literate people using FOSS software.
