They were right. The speculators from 2010-2020 were right that cryptocurrencies are going to be a reality from now on. Like it or not, it is clear that there is a market here that is measured in billions of dollars and it is going to stay with us.

Speculation is making crypto impossible to use as currency.

When the speculators run out of bigger fools the bubble will pop.

Crypto can at least just be purely speculative without really hurting anybody but it's not good for housing.
