The majority of people who don't believe crypto currency is a "real investment" and "purely speculative" are raging hypocrites. amirite?

If I gave everyone a time machine and sent them back to 2009, I guarantee almost everyone would load up on Bitcoin, given what we know now. You could say that about anything though. If we already know the outcome of something of course we'd put money in it.

The same statement can be said for just about anything you invest in. That's the entire point I'm making. The AI Boom is the in thing right now. I'm sure some of those companies will succeed. But most of them are gonna crash and burn, leaving inversions bleeding. Remember when Netflix was called stupid? We all see how that turned out.

When a publically traded company is like crypto that's because massive fraud is taking place.

I invested 73,000$ and some change into ETH across 3 years. I took a profit 210k last night, and left 70k in the market. I put my money where my mouth is, did the research and studies the analytics. Don't confuse with the dudes who think Fartcoin is Solid.

Shares are a stake in ownership of a company. There's is something backing up the value. Crypto is nothing but speculation.

You can study and learn about a company; its products, management, revenue streams, competitive position, etc. That means you can make an informed decision based on actual performance and future potential. Crypto, on the other hand, generally doesn't have earnings reports, balance sheets, or tangible operations to evaluate. Its value is driven almost entirely by market sentiment, so while all investing carries some speculation, traditional stocks give you data to analyze beyond "number go up."

Companies have earnings and asset sheets. Housing is needed and has cost like lumber and labor. Acting like these things are the same as a meaningless asset is asinine. Sure, the housing market could be a bubble that pops. The stock market could fall. But will it ever be worth zero? To be fair, as long as there are people like you, crypto will be worth something. But it's not necessary in the same way housing and companies are. It's 100% speculation, whereas I can attribute values to companies and houses through balance sheets and cost of materials and labor.

this guy and his history shows that he dedicated his life to persuade people into buying coins. if crypto was actually that profit, his actions would either be from a saint, or he's just faking it all, who knows.

I might buy coke speculating that they might sell more coke. If you buy bit coin, you are just speculating that more suckers are going to buy more bit coin. I guess that makes it a pretty good investment. Lol.

Unless one has an on it seems the stock market is a currupt casino and real estate possibly more so. The best I can hope for is to ride the wave with the belief that they won't kill the market.

Crypto's problem is that the speculation isn't panning out to anything useful. People keep tossing money to it because "numbers go up, i get rich" but at some point unless it becomes something useful, people will be left holding the bag when the numbers inevitably go down. Look at the last halving, the none bitcoin crypto's did not fair nearly as well as they did at the 2016 and 2020 halving. People are losing confidence it will every pan into anything more than a niche payment system and the market is too fragmented to target one thing to become useful at.

It's decentralized money. That's all it is.

Personally I see it as a matter of volatility and risk, gambling behaviour is when there's high volatility and risk whereas investment behaviour is when there's mid to low volatility and risk. Someone who throws money onto individual stocks based on nothing but vibes is no better than a gambling addict or a crypto trader. Crypto is high volatility and risk and it always will be, the fact that it's decentralised makes it unfit for being a currency and unfit for being a investment, it has no backing, nothing giving it value. Without that, it's a gamble not an investment.

The value of a stock theoretically comes from the value of fully liquidating the company. It's the value of the factories, the copyrights, the intellectual property whatever the company owns that allows it make money. If they sold all of those things the share price in theory would be "your share" as an owner of the company. What is the value of a crypto coin? What can it be used for?
