Who says we all want to switch to crypto? Maybe we want the freedom to divide our personal savings any way we see fit.

Democracy is a nice value, but so are freedom and human rights. I expect to have the right to buy crypto or not.

I don't say that.

I only argue about wrong crypto bro arguments.

Feel free to invest in whatever you want but in these discussions cryptobros argue from crypto is the future and is better than fiat.

Be aware though about the energy consumption of BTC. The GPU shortage and Asics garbage it creates.

I would have loved to buy an rtx GPU over people gambling on the side.
