Is Buying Crypto Assets “Investing”

I'm fully aware of that. My point is that its value is just about the same as any random sequence of bits. The fact that those bits are in a super inefficient ledger doesn't matter.

It's green paper backed by a government. If I printed my own paper money it'd also be worthless.

If you started your own cryptocurrency, it'd also be worthless. That's not to say all cryptocurrencies are worthless.
