I was more optimistic about it years ago but once I saw that the vast majority of its usage was simply for speculation it became obvious that its sole purpose was simply to allow a handful of whales to basically milk your average investor with pump and dump tactics. The boom in altcoins and NFTs was basically just a move to allow people with smaller bank rolls than the few whales to basically do the same thing to your average "investor". Right now there's lots of opportunity to make a quick buck if you have the bank roll and time to play the markets but still always a huge risk if your not in the right circles because the bottom of any coin can drop out at any moment based solely on the whims of the largest stakeholders in that coin or NFT. The risk/reward ratio is fair in general but the risk itself still remains so high that I wouldn't touch it myself... I don't have the liquidity or free time... not even close. Most people don't either so they're just suckers if you ask me. When crypto in general becomes more widely adopted for daily transactions we will see a collapse and consolidation. Today we basically have thousands of coins and NFTs and this is in no way sustainable. At some point once governments create and back their own coins you will see 99% of current coins disappear basically overnight. Bitcoin and Ethereum will likely survive this transition as will a few other coins possibly but I wouldn't assume for certain any of this... they could very well nuke all coins. The concept and idea of crypto is sound, but like anything created by man. It is either used for extreme good or extreme bad. If more people understood what it takes to use it properly and escape the control of the IMF/Rothchilds it would have been something truly great. At this point its clear we've missed the mark... too many idiots out there, and the path has been set that this will just be another tool for our enslavement into the future just as FIAT currencies before it.
