Me too, I'm just trying to sound smart for engagement but it's not even working

The hardest money

If this was X the caption would be "squint your eyes", and then when you do, you'd see a picture of Hitler.

What you're describing isn't the utility of USD, but it's value proposition.

The value proposition of Bitcoin is that it cannot be printed, it is verifiable, it is divisible. The utility of Bitcoin is that it can be sent across the globe in minutes without needing to trust a third party.

What is the purpose of money James?

(They can't even read picture books)

Fair enough

So control is the key factor in whether something is gambling or not. Taking a flight is then gambling as well? Does that make air travel inherently bad? Just trying to understand.

So I'll take that as a yes haha.

I suppose with that line of thinking, a person will lose their wealth no matter how they store it. Cash loses to inflation and politics, real estate to nature, stocks to management, etc.

Yup, hate crypto bros all you want, but ignoring Bitcoin isn't the solution. It's and entirely different asset class, and understanding it is as important as understanding any other asset class.
