The key word there is 'supposed'...

Theranos, B. Madoff, and others seemed to feel that was just a suggestion :-P

Also, businesses are not required to buy their stock back from you, so they are not 'backed' any more then crypto is.

If a company goes broke, and you hold common stock - you get nothing

In this thread, you're comparing crypto to Madoff and Theranos, and you think this is an argument in its favour.
