Yes, I know that it still exist, and yes, decentralized currency which utilizes distributed, cryptographic validation is not actually a strictly bad idea, but…

Is the speculative investment scam, which crypto substantially represented, finally dead? Can we go back to buying gold bars and Pokemon cards?

I feel like it is, but I’m having a hard time putting my finger on why it lost its sheen. Maybe crypto scammers moved on to selling LLM “prompts?” Maybe the rug just got pulled enough times that everyone lost trust.

    i think the shitcoin trend and NFT shit is over, but crypto as a technology and cryptocurrency certainly isn’t. I don’t see BTC, ETH, XMR dying aaanytime soon, especially the former and the latter - they’re gold standard on the net already. Overengineered crypto like ETH seems to be less popular now.
